I had great success with room equalization and did it all in the analog realm without spending much money. I had a major issue with boomy bass in a small room last year. I got an XTZ room analyzer Pro and it identified a big room mode at 38hz, suggesting a -22db correction. I attenuated it down about 15db with a McIntosh MQ 107 equalizer and the boomy bass issue was completely gone. One of the most immediate and dramatic changes to my system ever. I think the digital room EQ devices work well too but the analog equalizer I got is from the 1980s and was very inexpensive. Would be worth a try.
I think I need more bass traps, where to place them??
Hi guys, I already have bass traps in all four corners of my room but I still have some pretty bad room modes resulting in big peaks at 60/120hz and dips at 80/160hz.
I spent hours and days messing around with speaker placement and my current setup is the best I can do in terms of matching my target room response curve aside from these modes.
So my question is...I assume I need more bass traps? If so, what is next logical position for them? Sidewalls? Front wall between the speakers or directly behind speakers? Back wall? If the answer is yes to all positions, then where should I start? Due to financial restrictions I would like to treat one area at a time.
Thank you!
