I'm finally done with my control room and I'm ready to make panels. I was going to go with the plans Ethan had that addressed high bass, deep bass trapping, and of course the high/mid absorber. With those plan in mind, I don't know how I should incorporate the two different bass traps in my three corners (the pics will explain). Do you build the trap as follows, from top to bottom: High bass, deep bass, high bass, deep bass (in an alternating fashion, a foot and half at a time, assuming the trap is 6' tall)? My ceiling is 7' high and I was also wondering if it was necessary to build a trap that's from floor to ceiling in all the corners. What about a 2X4 trap in all corners? I'd plan on doing all panels in 2'X4' fashion. Is that OK? In one of my corners, a floor/ceiling trap is not possible anyway because it has the furnace exhaust pipe in the way (pics will explain). http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1358/hpim1502small3aj.th.jpghttp://img227.imageshack.us/img227/3631/hpim1501small4za.th.jpg As far as panel placement, this was suggested to me (3rd pichttp://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9301/suggestedacousticadditions8bs.th.jpgand I modified it because I wanted to save space.

anybody out there? :lol:
> anybody out there? < I'm here. I guess the others are on vacation. :) My Bass Trap Plans article explains the proper way to place the system of high and low bass traps around a room: www.ethanwiner.com/basstrap.html As for broadband absorbers, there's little to do. You get some rigid fiberglass panels, wrap them with fabric, and hang 'em up. --Ethan
