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 did reach out to Mike at GIK. Sent him pics of my listening room. 

He suggested, and I bought, 3 acoustic panels to go on the wall up and behind my listening position. Which was on a couch with a wall right behind it.

I put up 3 square 242 Acoustic Panels With Scatter Plate (+$30)
Pure White Fabric (standard) to better blend into the white wall.

They are about 18" above and behind my head evenly spread out with about 2" in between them.
