Corner base trap- to the ceiling?


I see lots of corner bass traps installed where they don’t go all the way up to the ceiling. I guess bass sound waves more so accumulate in the lower side of a room, but don’t a lot of these pressure amplitudes reach the upper half? Wouldn’t it be better to have a corner base trap extend all the way up to the ceiling?

Is it possible to have too many bass traps in a room?

Why can't I edit the topic field? Yeah I discovered bass was spelled wrong because I have to dictate everything. I missed seeing the misspelling before I posted and now I can't change the damn field.

I looked at the REW guidance.

I'm still confounded why the acoustical community can't design a better interface. If you want to encourage more dsp use then they've just gotta fix this and make it easier to use. In the end it's not that difficult what's actually happening and it's only made more difficult by the stupidity of the interfaces.

I suppose after considerable hours I could develop great expertise about how to use an interface but frankly I'm not sure it's worth the effort. Most choose not to get involved with dsp to evaluate the rooms because it's so damn difficult.

Obviously i have no idea what I’m doing half the time. Knowledge in this thread is quite a bit better than the other thread but then again again I really can’t remember anything these days.

Basically I think I’ve come to the conclusion that it's better to extend your bass trap all the way up to the corner.  Corners have all kinds of acoustical issues Best to make them go away.

The corner is a cesspool of pressure amplitudes creating all kinds of turmoil scattered about a room.  Maybe we need to redesign our rooms to be oval.

Future listening rooms will be the shape of a pod. 

@asctim

. So you like corner bass traps a lot. I’m stacking mine to the moon

 

What is RT60 time?
