Probably Stereo Club goes DIY with this quick video about turning an IKEA bookshelf into a standalone movable music studio bass trap. It's cheep, it's cheerful, simple, effective, and looks pretty nice too. Let me know what you think!
Music: Roadblock by The Moods Malawi. As of yet unreleased, but I hope to drop an EP later this year. Check in to www.sparedogrecords.com/the-m... for updates.
Accidental music: various songs by Soundtrack of Our Lives playing in the background while working on the bass trap.

I wouldn't put the wooden back on it so the sound can pass through and then reflect off the wall back through the bass trap for further absorption. Air gaps really boost the effectiveness of traps. Try with a fabric back.

@who_is_dis 4 месяца назад

I thought the same thing until I saw that it's basically a thin piece of card. Something like that would only reflect high frequencies and those aren't making it through the rockwool.

I agree.the backing is there for structural reasons. But it could be replaced with slats to provide triangulation. Also, it looks like insulation as well as the walls help keep it stable.

Good logic

I’ve got some large cabinets in my theatre room, I was going to give them away, now, I think I will fill them with the acoustic insulation and keep them

Haha i had this idea a while ago, im glad someone else is as lazy (smart) as me :)

@sx178 Год назад

Thank you for the video; it presents an interesting cost-effective solution. Have you conducted any acoustic measurements before and after its implementation? If so, could you share them with us?

@ProbablyStereoClub 9 месяцев назад

No i haven't, but the improvement was significant. They do exactly the same thing as any other insulation based treatment, just a lot cheaper ;)

@alexmacias3837 8 месяцев назад

You’re a genius. I was going to build panels tomorrow but I’m just gonna grab bookshelves

@alexmacias3837 6 месяцев назад

Follow up. I built these and they didn’t do all that much to tame 40-60hz. I built 2 diaphragmatic bass absorbers for 40hz and it was infinitely more effective. It took several hours to plan and build and they are extremely heavy but well worth the effort.

@Bob-Fields 6 месяцев назад

@@alexmacias3837 Thanks for your update! Do you have a pointer (links might not work here) for an online resource to what did for the diaphragms?

@angelpi 6 месяцев назад

@@alexmacias3837It would be great if you could make a video about how you did it.

@borey123xx9 Месяц назад

@@alexmacias3837 Maybe because the bass traps need to be a lot thicker, like minimum 17 inches to really absorb bass

I wanna be mad...But low key this is by far the greatest of all Ikea hacks! I am over here slow clapping in Ohio.

@cnkosm6536 Год назад

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of building the same with the BILLY bookshelf because I have a very low ceiling. Quick question: Why did you cut these card strips? Couldn't you just staple the fabric on the interior wood?

@ProbablyStereoClub Год назад

Hi thanks. I guess I just wanted to make sure the fabric didn't tear in the long run. It might work fine either way

@Techno_dad 10 месяцев назад

Could this be done using smaller width size cabinets as my area is not so big thanks for the video.

@ProbablyStereoClub 9 месяцев назад

I guess so, its just very convenient using this particular shelf since the width is the same as standard insulation sheets - no extra cutting needed.

@terriludolf6101 10 месяцев назад

i wish it was that easy

@mrg1of1 10 месяцев назад

Hey man, im thinking of making this! Do you think that it would be better if I put fabric instead of the regular cover on the back of the bookshelf?

@ProbablyStereoClub 9 месяцев назад

I don't think it would make much of a difference at all.

@bobmclaughlin3851 7 месяцев назад

YES!

@DjSaMiZr 26 дней назад

Amazing I'm literally starting to prepare doing that. I'm wondering, though, finnsby's seem to be 9 inch thick. Isn't this too much for a bass trap? or is it ok?

@Angellus502 10 дней назад

more is better for below 200hz. the same distance air gap behind doubles performance if you have a faberic back

@akinto609 10 месяцев назад

how much rockwool should i consider buying if i do this ? i don’t want to buy too much but buying too little doesn’t seem smart neither

@ProbablyStereoClub 9 месяцев назад

For this one, I used 3 x 75mm thick rockwool and the sheets are the right width - so its just a matter of measuring (can't remember) the height of the shelf and do the maths.

@manitsony6703 Месяц назад

How is it working for you

@MrDry2009 Год назад

Why did you cover the back of it? Why not let sound pass through it?

@ProbablyStereoClub Год назад

You don't want the fibres to escape! Plus, a few millimetres of board wouldn't stop anything but the very highest frequencies - and those have already been absorbed by 3 layers of rockwool. Sound wise, it doesn't make a difference.

@YoMyNamesJakeG 8 месяцев назад

what was the purpose of the card strips?

@domclarktrio2088 6 месяцев назад

Im trying to work this out as well

@ProbablyStereoClub 2 месяца назад

To not tear the fabric when stapling it to the wood

@allpdmusic Год назад

Maybe a dumb question but.. how well does this keep the fibers from escaping? Just asking because I know breathing that in is not very healthy. Great video by the way!

@ProbablyStereoClub Год назад

Thanks. Judging by other's accounts, a reasonably quality fabric should prevent fibers from escaping. You could always wrap the insulation in plastic, as extra precaution.

@teapotwood2817 8 месяцев назад

@@ProbablyStereoClubwouldn’t plastic stop the the absorption of base frequencies. Everything else I’ve seen says it should be breathable cover plastic obviously isn’t?

@richardgrumbine4867 8 месяцев назад

The plastic will have little to no effect sonically... in fact you could just use the material as is in the wrapper... not attractive but it would work. You could just make a cloth slip to go over it.That is what I plan to do. Then you don't need to handle the material directly at all! @@teapotwood2817
