Hello,
I just moved into a 2 bedroom apartment with my girlfriend and we are turning one of the bedrooms into an office/mixing room. Walls and ceiling are all painted sheet-rock and a carpeted floor.
As far as room size goes:
H= 7.8'
W= 8.3'
L= 10.9'
I'm being pushed to the back part of the room, almost right up against a wall, so unfortunately I can't take advantage of the lengthy part of the room due to her desk being in the same room. She gets one half and I get the other.
Meaning I have only 8.3' front to back. I have Dynaudio BM5A'a which are rear ported, so I made qty.2 Bass traps 24"x48"x4" using Owens 705. Above the mix position I made qty.2 24"x28"x6" traps using two sheets of Owens 703 and one of 705 in each trap. I have a bass trap in each corner, each are 24"x48"x4" made of Owens 703.
The part I'm struggling with is, is it better to have the densest material in front of you(behind your monitors) or behind you?
I figured sense my monitors are rear ported that the 705 Owens at 4" thick would be good. It's such a small place that I thought about putting qty.2 24"x48"x6" made of Owens 703 directly behind me. Would a denser material be more appropriate for the rear wall or for behind the monitors?
Here is a bad drawing...
