RE: DIY corner traps: panel-like or tube-like construction?

"Are corner traps just regular Jon Risch-like panels placed on a corner, or do they have a structure behind?"

See the video on how to build DIY flat traps on the link below. Use FRK OC 705 (faced panels for the front 2" layer and non-faced for the rear 2" layer and then cover them with thin plastic before covering with fabric. Floor-to-ceiling is best.

"Are their cross-sections fiberglass triangles, resembling a tube trap but with a triangular section?"

No.

"Do they need to be air tight?"

No.

"What size of a corner trap would yield the same absortion as a 16" tube trap?"

Ethan Winer has posted saying that 24" wide 4" thick OC705 flat traps are equivalent in absorption to a 20" tube trap.

The is a lot of helpful info on the Rives Audio asylum. Read it.

Good luck.
