I wouldn't place too much faith in Acoustic Fields. He is promoting his own solutions, and flies pretty far from a lot of the accepted acoustics theories with little in the way of real data. Having said that corners are the most effective place to treat low frequency room modes, but it can take a lot of absorption to address modes below 100 Hz. If possible it is best to identify the modes you need to address, and use a combination of speaker placement, listener position, and room treatment to provide the smoothest possible low frequency response.
Corner base trap- to the ceiling?
I see lots of corner bass traps installed where they don’t go all the way up to the ceiling. I guess bass sound waves more so accumulate in the lower side of a room, but don’t a lot of these pressure amplitudes reach the upper half? Wouldn’t it be better to have a corner base trap extend all the way up to the ceiling?
Is it possible to have too many bass traps in a room?
Why can't I edit the topic field? Yeah I discovered bass was spelled wrong because I have to dictate everything. I missed seeing the misspelling before I posted and now I can't change the damn field.
