GIK acoustic panels


Just installed some GIK bass traps in the room corners today and instantly solved the "sonic boom" that was happening around 35hz.A 2'x4' 244 panel in all four corners did the trick.Easy peasy:)I've got three 242 panels(for reflections) a 7" thick " monster trap ",and 4 2'x2' spot panels to fool around with now.The monster trap is VERY effective.I amused myself moving it around and could easily hear the changes.The front wall behind the speakers is the recommended position but it made the room sound dead, surprisingly.Another surprise was when I propped some panels in front of the two large windows in the room - no change at all.
So next up is getting them at the wall/ceiling junction and possibly on the ceiling without having a zillion nail holes to fill later.The panels all come with eyehooks and picture wire to hang them up.Good thing the room is not too big.16x17 cube unfortunately,so it needs a little help.I'll post the final results in a few days for those of you who are curious like I have been but hesitant.

@erik_squires  my speakers are (shhhh) Tekton Impact Monitors.Today I moved everything out of the living room and played around with positioning the panels and speakers.Right now it's sounding pretty darn good.The four corners have the 244s with range limiters plus the 2x2 spot panels(range limited) resting on top so it's almost floor to ceiling.Tomorrow I will hang the 244s by themselves so they are touching the ceiling and experiment with placement of the spot panels.The monster trap is behind the console on the front wall along with all three of the 242s.One is on top of the monster (think letter T).The 242s had no effect on each side to capture reflections there.I propped one behind my listening chair and didn't care for that much absorption.Diffusion would be better or perhaps even a wall hanging,or leave well enough alone🙂

So anywho,I'm really happy with the smoothed out bass.The windows are not the problem I thought they were at all!In my squarish room the front wall and corners seem to be most important.Next up is treating the wall/ceiling junction.I'll move the spot panels around singlely and in groups and see what happens.
Check out www.readyacoustics.com I ordered several years ago. Don’t know how they price/configure now. They have their own fabric ready made to cover the OC. I actually have several I’m not using if interested?
Thanks slaw!I'll check with you first if I end up needing more.Still moving the panels around and experimenting....
Today I found  permanent spots for the panels on the front wall.1. Monster trap centered behind the stereo 2.The 244s straddling both corners on top of matching bookshelves so they touch the ceiling with  a 2x2 spot trap also on top of the shelves in front of of the larger traps.(each of those traps have range limiters,less highs absorbed).I tried two large  panels together on the shelves but it sounded overdamped.

So now there's seven more panels to mess with:)
I'm interested to see how the sound changes when they are next to the ceiling/wall junction as opposed to just centered on the wall.Also I'm curious about panels on the ceiling....
