Hopefully this is the right forum to ask the question: My room rings like a bell. It is mostly concrete and the REW waterfall shows a decay time of nearly 1500ms.http://www.whatsbestforum.com/images/icons/icon9.png I really don't want to rebuild it so I'm hoping to fix it with a number of bass traps.
The room is 20' x 15', with 16" soffits on the sides and back walls. I'm thinking of starting with triangular, mineral wool absorbers under the soffits (13" on wall x 16" underside x 20" diagonal), with a run of about 14' on each side. I understand that bass absorption needs lots of depth but I'm thinking that some of the sound travelling along the length axis would see a 14' deep absorber.
My question is whether this is worth the effort and a good place to start? There is a wall behind my AT screen for other bass traps but I thought that doing the soffits first would help me choose later the best type of absorber on the front wall.
Many thanks.
