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.

I am sitting about 1/3 from the rear wall, or about 8 feet.

I would recommend diffusers on the back wall, given your room's layout. I use the following in 6" thickness: https://www.gikacoustics.com/product/6a-alpha-panel-diffusor-absorber/

There in fact a combination diffuser / absorber / bass traps
