• Anyone used bass traps to flatten out boomy bass in a small room? I don't want to bring the speakers away from the corners (it's a small room, pay attention!).

    I don't really want to spend big money covering the room in silly foam. Is there a clever and cost effective way to know where to place this kind of thing to best effect? They do look kind of stupid and I'm just working with music I'm not an audiophile nor home muso so this ain't a studio.

    I don't want it looking like this... Mondrian room?

    Spendy for pieces of foam...

    These look kinda cool and could stick a pot plant on top :)

    Someone did it for me

  • Whereabouts are your speakers in the room? You might be able to reduce the ‘room effect’ by moving them further away from the corners. I’ve done that and then eq the rest out with a bit of bass cut until I want to crank it up.

    Or just get to love music with basslines around 48-50hz 😎

    You didn't pay attention. For this, I am removing your BASS privledges.
