Front and back wall treatments are usually best treated with a materiel that is diffusive as opposed to absorbtive, but much depends on the types of speakers you are using, their proximity to the walls, the location of your listening seat, and the source an amplitude of the reflections you are trying to treat. In my experience the wall behind the speakers is generally more critical and the wall behind the listener. FWIW, those room measurements you listed are mostly dependent on the location of your speakers and listening position - start moving both around and doing some remeasurements.
Where to place room treatment?
Hi,
I plan to buy some bass trap, diffusing and absorbing materials for treating my room, and the room is 8Hx10wx22L. Here are the questions
1/ Where to place room treatment, and where should I put diffusing or absorbing materials?
2/ Do I have to buy the ASC tube trap to control down to 50Hz? Are there any things cheaper than ASC?
Last night, I used Audiophiles test CD and Radio Shark analog meter to measure the low requency between 200Hz to 40Hz.
200Hz, 160Hz = around 68 to 69db
125, 100, 80Hz = around 74 to 76db
50, 63Hz = around 82 to 86db
40Hz = 72db
Do I have a peak problem @ 50 and 63Hz? Tube trap help?
How about the low at 200, and 160Hz? How to fix?
Thanks a lot!
