David, > I am hoping that the few places I can treat will be the most effective < So work out with your wife how many she'll accept, get that many, then put them all in corners. > Maybe bass traps where the exposed side is a reproduction of some famous painting or original artwork. <...

David, > The corners I am thinking about trying to treat are circled in red. < If you hope to make a meaningful improvement you'll need to treat much more than just those two far rear corners. Acoustic treatment - especially bass trapping - is about surface coverage. Covering 10 percent of...

Adam and Brian, > has anyone used these? ... Would one 4-footer in each corner of a 12x12x10 room help a great deal? < Understand that I sell acoustic treatment, so take this as you see fit: In my opinion foam is not a good absorber for low frequencies unless you use a huge amount of...

David, > The room is very odd shaped < That's less of a factor than you might think. > Are there any decent looking corner fitting bass traps out there? < Aye, there's the rub. There are small and unobtrusive products you can buy to put into your corners. The problem is the smaller...
