You can't have too many bass traps...


Hej

I've read that you can't have too many bass traps. Is that really true?

In the house we recently sold, my "man cave" was a 24’x26’ room. I got the system with the main speakers "dialed in", sounding awesome. Then when I added my sub woofers I discovered that the room had terrible acoustics in the bass region; regardless of the bass line in the music, the room added one loud bass tone.

I eventually purchased a " miniDSP UMIK-1 USB Measurement Calibrated Microphone" (I found it on Amazon), a mike stand and the REW (Room EQ Wizard) software ( https://www.roomeqwizard.com/ ), which guided me to purchase and position what eventually turned out to be 10 bass traps, to mostly control the errant bass response from the room.

I probably could have used two more traps, but the love of my life began asking if I was headed for my "padded cell" when going for my nightly listening session.
