@erik_squires the general consensus is there can be space but I agree with you that it looks odd. To be honest the ocd in me it drives me nuts. They are cut to be put in the corners for a reason.
Base trap spacing
Hello everyone, I got my corner bass traps from GIK Acoustics today. The thing is they won’t go all the way in the corners because of the wall outlet that I am using to plug my Niagara 1200 in. I wrote GIK and was told it shouldn’t affect the sound, he also told me I could get a right turn power strip and plug my power cable coming from my Niagara in it. The idea behind the right turn power strip is to get the bass traps closer to the corners. Currently they are 6 inches from the back all and 2 inches from the side walls. I really don’t want to have a new outlet installed. Thanks guys.

@maxdukecapone if I move my outlet behind the rack, it will fix the issue all together. That and I can get shorter power cables when I upgrade 😀 |
@erik_squires are you suggesting a high quality outlet along with the plug you sent a link to ? Would you mind sending me a picture of how yours is setup ? Thank you |
@erik_squires I never even thought of that. Pretty sure GIK was recommending a power strip instead. I have a furman I used on old set up. However I didn’t wanna have the furman in the wall then my power cable in the furman. Do you notice different sound with it set up the way you have it. So basically the power cable plugs into the plug from The bottom ? I really really don’t wanna install another outlet. |
@erik_squires yea, I will likely go with the cord option. I emailed Pass Labs this morning asking what they thought on the options you offered me. I know the traps don’t need to be all the way in the corners, more for looks at this point. Your thoughts are much appreciated. |
@erik_squires I have an Audioquest Monsoon cable atm. The bass traps came in yesterday and I thought I had more room. Thank you though |
@campoly lol… |
@erik_squires after thinking, it’s better to just fix it the first time instead of avoiding haha. |
@ghdprentice i have heard the same. Seems to be a very common thing now days. Thanks for the heads up though. |
