Small room - should I use ANY diffusion?

Post by Circuit Scream » Tue Sep 29, 2009 12:08 pm

I've posted about a small room on here before, but now I have a different, though similar size space now with slightly different gear setup. I've been advised to do tons of bass trapping as it's a 10ft x 10ft spare bedroom.

I have a handful of Auralex LENRD's and going a combination of DIY and low-cost with the rest. I'll post some pics tonight. Should I do any diffusion at all? It's a standard drywall room, one window.

Thanks!

This newer video shows the spectacular results we got with lots of diffusion in a small room:
