"Hanging acoustic panels is pretty easy, but figuring out where to hang them can require a little head scratching. Where you place an acoustic panel in a room can dramatically affect how that panel performs, so if you want to get the most out of your treatment you’ll want to follow some of these guidelines.
The layout of your sound-absorbing panels will vary greatly based on the kind of room you’re trying to treat. We’ve done other videos on how to find your first reflections and where to focus treatment for various kinds of rooms. This video is going to deal more with general tips for how to space out your acoustic panels.
For overall echo reduction we’ll want to space your acoustic panels evenly along the wall rather than clump them together. This will ensure the room has a nice even sound, but keeping the sound absorbing panels no more than twice their width apart will ensure you have enough coverage to effectively treat the wall.
Alternating panels across parallel walls is a great strategy for maximizing the effect of your panels. If you don’t have enough acoustic panels to cover every wall, make sure each set of parallel walls has at least one treated wall to avoid slap echo.
No matter the type of room you’re treating you’ll want your acoustic panels placed at the height the sound is being created and experienced at. So in a listening room where the listener is seated, the panels will be lower than a space where people might be standing while talking or performing. For a 2x4 Panel mounted vertically, ear level is about two feet from the ground.
Additional sound absorbing panels can be used on the ceiling for additional absorption or in the horizontal room corners for better bass response, but most of your treatment will likely work best at ear level."
