Hi People,
Besides 6" Panels for side walls, back wall and ceiling, I'm also building Soffit Bass Traps (Roxul Safe'n'Sound) for the 4 Corners (Floor to Ceiling) as well as Front/Rear and Side Wall/Ceiling Corners for my Home Studio.
The 4 Main Corners are good (17" x 17" x 48")...2 in each corner 1 stacked on top of the other
My challenges are with the Side Wall Ceiling Corners.
On 1 side I have a window and the other side an in-built closet, Both with a frame approx. 1/2" thick and 13 1/2" from the Ceiling.
My questions are:
1) Do I make 17" x 17" Soffits and leave a gap to clear the frames or do I make
them 13 1/2" x 17" and have them against the wall?
2) In general, what are the Pros/Cons for leaving small gaps behind any of these
Bass Traps (ie; Absorption effectiveness as well as Air circulation and any
other possible concerns)?
P.s. Traps are not been built as permanent into walls. Will probably use Angle Brackets to Install.
Thank you to all in advance for your advice and Input,
