For superior acoustics, Auralex suggests mounting LENRD™ Bass Traps in the corners of your room
(for low frequency control) as well as 2’x2’x2” Studiofoam™ panels for absorption on the walls and ceiling.
If your room is set up with a mix position against one wall – (preferably in the center of the shortest wall), please use the
following general guidelines:
A. Using Foamtak™ Spray Adhesive, mount two (2) LENRD Bass Traps in each vertical corner. We suggest you install
the LENRDs starting at the ceiling. However, we understand that not all corners are the same. You may desire to leave a
2” to 3” gap between the LENRDs so that you reap the benets from the
exposed edges. If you have doors, windows or other obstacles blocking
your corners, it is acceptable to place them in the horizontal, wall/ceiling
corners.
B. Using Foamtak, mount Studiofoam panels on the front wall, between
and behind the studio reference monitors. The graphic below illustrates
(8) 2’x2’ panels mounted across the front wall, creating a visually pleasing
arrangement. The pattern in your room does not have to be identical, but
similar coverage across this wall is strongly encouraged.
C. Mount a total of (8) 2’x2’ panels on the side
walls - (4) on the left and (4) on the right is
encouraged, but not mandatory. Around the mix
position, you might want to try using the “mirror”
method to place panels (see below).
D. Mount the remaining panels on the ceiling
and the back wall. You may desire to focus
the treatment on the ceiling between the mix
position and the studio reference monitors.
E. Placement of T’Fusor 3D Sound Diffusors is
largely subjective. The most popular choices
are either on the rear wall and rear portion
of the ceiling behind the mix position or centered between the listening position and the studio reference monitors as
pictured. Be sure to rotate each T’Fusor 90o from the adjacent one for best results. T’Fusors combat hot spots and nulls
by alleviating at, reective room surfaces with scientically designed surfaces of varying shapes, sizes and angles.
Standing waves and utter echoes are minimized without signicantly reducing acoustic energy in the space.
Other General Suggestions:
When treating the front and side walls, try using a mirror to ascertain the reection points. Simply have a friend move a
mirror around the walls and ceiling while you are sitting at the mix position. Anywhere youcan see your studio monitors in
the reection is a likely surface to treat with an Auralex Studiofoam panel!
Do not worry about placing treatments very low on the walls—use them at ear level and on the ceiling for best results.
The number of panels and placement on each surface can vary given your specic situation.
Remember that these are only guidelines. If you have furniture or gear in the way, simply work around it as best you
can. Auralex acoustic control products are very forgiving. Placement on the walls is not an exact science. Just having
LENRDs, Studiofoam and T’Fusor Diffusors in the room will improve your mixing or recording environment. Other, less
permanent methods, such as Velcro™, nails, pins, screws, etc. can be used to mount the LENRDs, Studiofoam panels or
T’Fusors for easy removal later.
