Hi All
Im looking for some advice or comments on my room treatment plan for a lounge area / storage. It may not be a super common combination, but we need to accomodate for plenty of 2 meter high closets, while at the same time trying to make the best lounge area for 2.2 channel music listening and the occational movie.
The room is at cellar level and will be 4,2 meters x 5,9 meters x 2,2 meter after cabinets are installed, there is allready 15mm rockfon suspended ceiling in the entire room and 5cm space above that, if more rockfon could benefit in certain areas. All walls are bare concrete right now. A carpet will go in in the main area, otherwise there is wooden floor.
I would like to install basstraps on the 4 corners and 2 diffuser areas in front beside a 65" television. But the WAF is not very good! So I plan to build a light wall of acustic panels in front of that, consisting of 25mm wood strips, 10 space and some 9mm filt on the back ( there is no back board ) and place it all, in front of the basstraps and diffusers as an artifical wall. the panels should allow for some sounds to go though and some to diffuse. It may not be optimal but could it work and will the basstraps have effect ?
On the back wall there will be a row of cabinets and I plan to allow for a 25cm gab at each corner to fill it with rockwoll to act as a basstrap and similarly on top of the cabinets, both in a depth of 60cm, they will be covered with the same acutic panels and the cabinet sliding doors will be made with the panels as well, allowing for whatever that is in those cabinets to act as absorber/diffuser in a random way. Could that work, especially the recessed bass traps at the corners ?
Its also possible to install a 20cm x 20cm, x 4,2 meter rockwool strip along the ceiling in front behind the acustic wall if deemed beneficial ?
See drawing of the room attached to the post, for the placements. here is also an external link: https://i.postimg.cc/NGSS66mp/room2.jpg

Any comments are welcome.
