How many tuned membrane traps for my room?
« on: 12 Sep 2024, 03:17 am »
My room is already well treated with a lot of broad band absorption but I still have some peeks and nulls at 35 and 45 respectively. I'm looking to get some membrane bass traps, T40 specifically, to try and tackle these issues. How many generally are need for a 19x13x8 room?

Great question. Most of acoustics performance in general is about coverage area, ie, how many square feet of a given treatment are we adding to the room? So the short answer is, more is better. I usually recommend start with at least 4 Scopuses to begin to discern improvements.

The other part of this is, placement on these devices is very very important, ie, they need to be in a "pressure zone" in the room for the tuned frequency in question. This can take time and experimentation for sure......
