Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener?


I have treated the 1st and 2nd reflection points and I have sound panels between my speakers. I also have tube traps in all 4 corners, but I am not sure what (if any) should be done with the wall behind the listener.

That wall presently has a DIY rack system that holds about 5000-6000 cd’s. I believe it helps scatter the sound. But I’m not sure if that is the right approach.

So, what are you guys using on that wall? Diffusion, Absorbtion, Reflection? Anything else?

I would appreciate your thoughts.

@ozzy why not reach out to GIK Acoustics

I’m working with Mike Major to finalize everything I need for my room and I find Mike to be very knowledgeable. Provide your room dimensions and photos and see what they say. 

@ozzy Give GIK a few days. Their recommendation for my room was pretty accurate. 

@ozzy  makes sense I think. You have a decent size room so they’re recommending abfusors.
FWIW, for my room, which is smaller, Mike recommended absorbers on the sides for early reflections and tri traps with range limiter in corners behind speakers.
