What is THE BEST height for Acoustic Panels or Bass Traps?
You may be surprised to know that when it comes to hanging acoustic panels and bass traps, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution—it's all about what you’re doing within the room. The key isn’t just in the height, but more in the overall coverage percentage. The more of your space you treat, the better control you’ll have over reflections and bass buildup. However, the height you choose should also be tailored to your sound source—whether it's a speaker, instrument, or your voice. Placing panels near the level of your primary sound source can enhance absorption where it matters most.

For bass traps, placing them in the trihedral corners (where the ceiling meets two walls) helps tame those low-end frequencies that tend to gather there. Floor-to-ceiling bass traps are ideal for optimal coverage. As for acoustic panels, spread them across the walls and ceilings to absorb mid- and high-frequency reflections. It’s not always about how high they are, but how well they control/balance the sound within the room. For even better results, you'll want to experiment with different setups and listen to how your space responds. This approach ensures you achieve the perfect balance, regardless of whether you're building a home studio, theater, or just improving your everyday audio environment. Want to fine-tune your setup?
