Google DIY tube traps there should be a result that shows up very close to the top that looks very old (you’ll know what I mean when you click on it). There you go. Don’t listen to the DIY RU-vid videos they’re almost ALLLLL WRONG.
Heheh, I did the REW test. From 2kHz and up, my reverb time is only 150ms. From 200hz up it's 200ms. I break above 400ms below 60hz, though. Seems I have an even and good EQ in my room, except for a pronounced ringing at about 39hz. I've only built acoustic dampeners from 4.5cm thick rockwool.
hey, I'm on the market for some basstraps for my studio. I also have the same problem that I cannot hang stuff from the ceiling/walls. Could you tell me where/how many bass traps you used for your test?
@@ZedMartyProduction or do uou mean your speakers come with a thin bit of iso pads if so iso pucks would make a huge difference the isolation that comes with the speakers arnt the best and wont really decouple the speakers from the desk
@@noahwallace3458 in all our tests, Iso pads / pucks etc make zero difference in the response. If you have data to show otherwise, I'd love to see it. Otherwise I've chalked it up to another placebo in the audio world.
@@thebrainrecordingstudios8976 lol there's literally tons of videos showing how it works It's stop smearing in other words the low end frequencies tales shorten up because the desk is not vibrating Feeble have studied this extensively it's not just like it's smoke and mirrors But Hey if you don't want to do it then you don't have to
@@ZedMartyProduction Of course there are many videos about this topic but, not to be polemical, i'm subscribed to this channel so...I would like to see your take on it, makes sense? : )
I do agree eather - great value for the price and well made. I have got some Absorbers for my listening room last year and Addictive Sound didn´t charged me extra cost for special needed size 80x40 cm. Bass traps are the next thing on my list :) PS: whats your room size / dimensions according to your FQ - absorbtion and reverb messurments?
@@ZedMartyProduction Penso che non sono uguali. qui di seguito una parte della descrizione sul sito amazon Italia: Altezza del sistema 100cm, diametro 30cm, peso 8kg, elegante copertura nera in pannello per mobili, costruzione rigida che permea solo le basse frequenze. 15% in più di materiale assorbente rispetto alla trappola per bassi standard.
I've never seen cylindrical bass traps before, I'm more familiar with the triangular wedge type. I was also surprised when you pointed out that they were hard, not the stiff foam type that I'm more accustomed to. Is this a new innovation? A very informative video. Thanks.
They are around for quite some time. There are other companies like Hofa who make those bass traps but Addictive Sound seems to have the best price. The hard surface was also surprising to me, but it works!
They are called helmholtz resonator bass traps, try googling that. They can be tuned to specific problematic frequency, and work very well. They have been around for a long time but aren't used as freaquently as the standard "fill the corner with rockwool" kind of thing.
@@Willigrow well...thats not true sadly....those tubes are exactly the "Fill the corner with rockwool" thing...HOFA does it that way and Addictive sound too...Vicoustic actually is one of the few that make resonant absorbers for bass frequencies...highly recommandable but also quite a jump in price...
If they weigh 50lbs and the sides are hard them I’m guessing “diaphragmatic”. The pressure wave deflects the surface and active carbon inside lowers the q value to give a wide band absorption. Helmholtz would be a very very narrowband.
