bass trap placement

[Nick_Black]

hey, this should be a simple question, I currently only have 2 bass traps, which corners should they be placed, at close corners (close to the sound source) or fairly far away (from the sound source)?

thanks.

Put them in consectuive corners, that way they will absorb in both diagnals

A rectangular room, I assume? If your source is a pair of monitors, the most important thing is to place them symmetrically. I.e., behind monitors on left and right or back behind your ears, left and right. I think people tend to put them in the corners behind the monitors.
