Start
by bass trapping the 4 corners of the room. The TubeTraps should
be as close as possible to the wall, and touching the wall is
perfectly OK. If there’s base moulding in the way, Traps
can be as far as 1” from the wall. For nightclub or studio
mixed music, fit TubeTraps tight into the corner. For classical
orchestral music, pull the Traps out a few inches to let the
bass be more reverberant.
What's
Next
After
the corners have been bass trapped, additional TubeTraps are
added to help launch the cleanest wave-front possible. This
includes a center imaging stack plus side Traps at the wall,
in line with the speakers.
How
to Get More Detail
For
additional control, add a center stack on the back wall plus
left and right arrays along the mid-sidewalls. This will help
address secondary reflections give maximum musical detail and
soundstage clarity.

1. Absorb early sidewall reflections
2. 2. Side-scatter late rear wall reflections
This quiets early lateral reflections which sharpens image,
and it adds back late lateral reflections which create ambiance.
