Hangers in cavities - importance of symmetrical placement??

After a long break, from a construction point of view, I finally moved my entrance to the back of the room :wink: and I'm now ready to start on the control room walls as per John and Barefoot's proposals.
Barefoot suggested to create cavities near floor/wall intersections and fill them with hangers. However, due to the 3 spaces next to the control room this is not possible. See also attached floorplan.

So my main questions are:

- How important is symmetrical placement of these hangers in the room?

- Would it be sufficient to put hangers on the LH side only (floor/wall intersections).

- Any ideas on possible alternative locations to put the hangers?

- How much of them do you need for proper low end absorption?

Thanks!

What are your ceiling dimensions? I understood you had a high ceiling where you could have hangers as per this drawing I did for you earlier on.

Hi John,
The actual dimensions (in mm) of the ceiling can be found in the picture below.

I still need some room for framing and ducting for HVAC in the very top. Would this area be suitable for hangers as well?
