Auralex Acoustics Roominators Performance Series Instruction Manual

A. Using Tubetak™, 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. At the very least, place LENRDs in the upper most
section of the vertical corners. 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 Studiofoam panels on the front wall, between and behind the
neareld monitors. The graphic below shows eight
(8) panels across the front wall. The pattern in your
room does not have to be identical, but placement
across this wall is strongly encouraged.

Roominators Project General Guidelines
For superior acoustics, Auralex suggests mounting LENRD™ Bass
Traps in the corners of your room (for low frequency control) as well
as 2’x2’ Studiofoam™ panels for absorption on the walls and ceiling.
If your room is set up with a mix position against one wall (as many
rooms are), please use the following general guidelines:

D. Mount the remaining panels on the ceiling, focusing between the mix position and the
nearfield monitors. The graphic illustrates one
possible pattern for Studiofoam on the ceiling.
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
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
and 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 LENRDs or Studiofoam panels for easy removal later.
 We highly recommend isolating your monitors with Auralex MoPADs. Even greater performance can be obtained by adding Auralex
diffusors or a GRAMMA amp/sub isolation riser.
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 or portable products such as our MAX-Wall™ Mobile Acoustical Environment.
Thank you for purchasing the Auralex Project Roominators™ Kit!
C. Mount a total of 12 Studiofoam panels on the side walls - six (6) on the left and six (6) 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). Note that in the illustration, two (2) panels
have been mounted to the door and can be seen
better in the illustration for step D.
