A. Using Tubetak™, mount two (2) DST-LENRD Bass Traps in each vertical corner. We suggest you install the DST- LENRDs starting at the ceiling. However, we understand that not all corners are the same. You may desire to space
out the DST-LENRDs so that you reap the edge benets. 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 Tubetak, mount DST panels on the front wall, between and behind the studio reference monitors. The graphic below illustrates (24) DST-112 panels and eight (8) DST-114 panels mounted across the front wall, creating a 4’x8’
section of wall treatment. The pattern in your room does not have to be identical, but placement across this wall is strongly
encouraged.
C. Mount a total of (32) DST panels on the side walls - (16) on the left and (16) 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. Focus the treatment on the ceiling between the mix position and the studio reference monitors. The graphics illustrate one possible pattern for DST panels on the ceiling
and on the back wall.
Other General Suggestions
When treating the front and side walls,
try using a mirror to ascertain where
reections are coming from. Simply
have a friend move a mirror around the
walls and ceiling while you are sitting at
the mix position. Anywhere you can see
your studio monitors in the reection is
a likely surface to treat with an Auralex
DST 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 DST-LENRDs and DST-Studiofoam 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 DST-LENRDs or
DST-Studiofoam panels for easy removal later.
No diffusion has been supplied with the D108L Roominator-
DST however; we do offer many different diffusors that can
be purchased separately.
This Starter Kit is designed to be the rst step towards
better acoustics. You may wish to continue to maximize
your sound with products such as our T’Fusor 3D Sound
Diffusors, DST-R Diffusive Sound Tile Reectors or portable
products such as our MAX-Wall™ Mobile Acoustical
Environment.
