Re: Bass Traps
Here's an very inexpensive thing I did and it worked wonders...
Check this photo: http://www.heartmagic.com/zzBassTraps.jpg I first identified all the problem areas of my room, (mostly the corners) and built my own cheap and effective traps by first placing 1/4" "foam core" art-board (#2/blue) over the corner with a few drywall screws, and then filling some plastic kitchen trash bags with raw fiberglass insulation, sealing them, and stuffing them in the corner behind the artboard (#3). I then glued sonofoam (#1/grey) on to the surface of the artboard for a little diffusion and nice appearance. The kitchen bags keep the fiberglass from getting into everything, and make the installation a cinch. The room went from a live echo-y ugly sounding place to an extremely well behaved and good sounding recording area in about 30 minutes! |

Re: Bass Traps
Hi, Look for a basic pannel resonator type as the Q is as broad as you want to make it,
Stay away from hermholtz & Resonant cavity types etc ,with high Q values. When the Q is high you get phase distortion eg.ripples either side of the the centre frequency. Try Everest Handbook on Accoustics! Regards to all, Michael |
