Hi, new here. I'm hoping I can get confirmation or correction on my plans for hanging bass traps today. I have 9 4" thick 2'x4' panels being hung in an 11'x12' room.
I, unfortunately, can't post images yet but the room has a large window centered on one of the 11ft walls (my desk is located here) and behind that, there is a 3.5ft opening to a bathroom area located at around 3/4 of the back wall. This is for the moment needing to double as a guest bedroom so there is a bed in the back left corner as well.
I have had two different plans for this so far. While at home I plan to track and mix in this room.
Plan 1: Single traps in all 4 corners flush against the ceiling. One of the corners has an AC vent and will have to be lowered by about 11". Then panels on the left & right first reflection points. Followed by those a center ceiling corner trap & cloud. Lastly, the remaining panel on the larger portion of the back wall. I have a gobo for the bathroom opening.
Plan 2: Floor to ceiling bass traps in the front corners (4 panels). They actually fit perfectly stacked. Then panels on the left & right first reflection points. Followed by those a center ceiling corner trap & cloud. Lastly, I'm hoping the bed in the back left corner can act somewhat like a bass trap & the final panel would be on the floor in the back right corner. The reason for the floor would be an attempt at symmetry & to not block my precious AC vent (I live in AZ).
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. It's my first time attempting to apply acoustic treatment to a room. ?
