Bass traps - back corners dilemma
« on: 30 Jul 2009, 12:52 pm »
What is the best way to deal with the rear corners of a room if there is a door in each of the two corners? I can't do a diagonal as it would block both entrances. (one door opens into the room - hits the rear wall; the other opens out into a bathroom.) Room is 12 X 14.

You can just do a panel at the corner but on the wall that doesn't have the door.  If both doors are on the rear wall, just use the end of the 2 side walls.

The photo below shows what my partner Doug did for both rear corners of his home studio.

Thanks for the replies. I know this won't be as good as diagonally placed but is workable. I can mount on both doors as well as the walls. I can remove the one on the entry door if I have to open it all the way.
