Hello, Been lurking around for few weeks, reading and learning alot about design and construction. Recently I have redesigned my small room which serves mainly for production\mixing of elec. music. I also record vocals and acoustic guitar at the back side of the room. I monitor using the Maudio Bx8 which produce the range of about 40-18000 hertz,I plan on upgrade these in about 6months from now.

Here are the sketches and plans in PDF format: Drawing http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/077855b923_0.57MB Front wall http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/a7cff1fef3_0.93MB Isometric http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/51a7d7676e_0.72MB Top view http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/48b16479e5_1.36MB *note that the 150mm front wall panel will not be mounted as shown but will be mounted at the wall-ceiling joint therefor creating an air space. Material used: Rigid rockwool panels , density of 80kg\cubic Meter Any advice is welcomed. Thank you, Tomer.

For good results you need more bass traps. Lots more. :) --Ethan
Wow Ethan... And I thought I was pretty much covered with the corners and thick cloud panel. I really don't want to over crowd the room, retaining a somewhat spacious feel... So,any placement is good placement for a bass trap? I have some room for a 6`,4-6` air gap space for a panel under the Screen (and behind my desk which does not appear in the drawings since i'm constructing a new one and not made up my mind about the measurements yet... Maybe its a good idea to treat with this original plan, Do some measurements and maybe built a sealed (tuned) slat resonator if major peaks or dips occur? Will a sealed design function as planed no matter where it is placed in a room?
The corner traps are way to small. Best practice is to cover the whole corner. (in other words; adding more basstrap as Ethan suggested) ;)
The pictures are not to scale in this case, about 70-80% of the corners are covered. I guess only way to know if its "enough" is to build the panels and messure the room... Thanks anyhow...
