Hey guys I have a bass problem with my room, attached ARTA FR plot. I have in mind to use Limp Mass Bass Absorbers but I don't know how to tune and place at the room. I got this calculator but I don't know hot to use it: attached soft.
TIA

I'm no genius on this, but I do know that the more info you can give, the better.
I suggest you add a photo of your room, room dimensions, details of your gear, and a few more FR plots. If that bass hump only exists at one location, it might not be a big problem.
...and maybe your problem could be fixed some entirely different way. e.g. instead of:
$2000 - existing subwoofer
$1000 - bass traps
you might be better off with:
$2000 - existing subwoofer (moved to new location)
$500 - 2nd subwoofer (nearfield)
$500 - 3rd subwoofer (corner)

FR plot is at my listening position. Room is 5m x 6.5m aprox. and near 3m high.

That one is not so bad 🙂 Now, how do those two dips actually sound, and do they vary much as you move. It would be useful to have a drawing of the room showing all the relevant distances.
That's a very good question, I think don't sound as bad as measurements but I want to try the limp mass absorber wit the vinyl suspended so not tuned to any frequency to see if there's a way to improve the SQ.
I have several doubts?
1/ ¿Measurement 1m x 1m = 1 m2?
2/ ¿Rock wool thickness?
3/ ¿Carpet thickness?
4/ ¿Mass expressed in Kg for m2 of the vinyl?

When I look at the last measurement I would change nothing.
If you take more low frequentie out the room your speakers wil sound thin.
I would make some damping panels on the reflection points ceiling and wall with about 5cm thick damping material.
Then your mid and top goes down.
And if it damps the topend to much you can put a thin layer of plastic on top of the damping material

Hi, not sure how I missed this thread.
My room is 3.3x3.4x2.5m and as you can imagine room modes 50-80 hz are but WERE a real problem.
Yes a 1msq of limp 10kg mlv behind each speaker took out 90% of the problem. I have nothing behind them but about 120mm air gap. I do have a 1200x450x60mm rockwool slab at the first reflection point which helps too

I must do.. unfortunately at the moment the room is totally cluttered, I can't get near enough to lift them out🙁
Hi. My wall is made of concrete. There is no deep sound where you sit, but if you walk in the room you may be deaf from elsewhere. What can I do?
