Bass Suckout in a Square Room - Remedies and Solut


Hi All,

My problem is I've got major mid-band and lower bass suckout with my speakers.
The bass dissapears in the seating position. But if you stand up either side of my sofa the the bass returns.
I would like to hear from anybody who has a similar problem and what solutions they use to eliminate the problem.
I can't move to another room in the house. But this is a dedicated hi-fi room. So there is a degree of flexibility.
Thanks
Meth

Your explanation is a little vague. Room dimensions and speaker/sofa location in the room would help, but you will have to move the speakers or the sofa.
Wrayman, You are absolutely right. A diagonal set up is a good idea and can produce excellent bass and over all sound include good depth.
The sofa itself is not the problem. The problem is where the sofa is located in relation to the speakers.
R-19 insulation is frequency selective. If you are going to treat your room use room treatment products. I have used Tube Trap products for about 20 years. I know they work.
