Small room....treating 1st reflection points


Hi Everyone,

Thinking of treating 1st reflection points at side walls, front and back walls. Some foam cornere bass traps. Floor has a throw rug. Not gonna treat ceiling. Bedroom size 10 x 14 x 10. Have access to 1 inch acoustic foam...will I be able to see an improvement or should I even bother since it's only 1".

Thanks.

I would suggest Real Traps. They can be a bit pricier than some of the others mentioned here, a few of which I tried myself, but in the end the Real Traps are what stayed in my room. The Mini Traps or lower cost Bare Traps might work nicely for side, front, and/or rear walls, but if I were you I would start with bass traps in the corners behind the speakers to see how that improves things. Also, do not treat the rear and front walls simultaneously, one or the other. In a room your size I would not recommend any type of diffusion products. Nearfield listening may actually be your best bet and save you some money. That is what I did in a room your size.
