Acoustic Treatment Research Material

[RUR]

OK, so here are the corner bass traps I use: http://www.realtraps.com/p_mondotrap.htm
I purchased the corner mondos with wall stands. Effective? You bet, but also big and not even remotely attractive, though RealTraps has recently begun offering them with nice fabric options (too bad I purchased before they began that practice ).

Here's a smaller type which looks like a better fit for your room: http://www.gikacoustics.com/gik_tri_trap.html
These, too, may be purchased with multiple fabric options.

Finally, here's what I'm considering as replacements for the rear corners: http://www.acousticsciences.com/tubetrap.htm
Cool-looking, multiple fabric options, but expensive.

To minimize costs, you can make your own tube bass traps. Here's a DIY site: http://www.teresaudio.com/haven/traps/traps.html
With some additional guidance in a related forum: http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/forum...pic.php?t=7878

and another: http://home.comcast.net/~jtgale01/diy2.htm

You could also consider making your own triangular corner traps a la the GIK Tri Trap link I've shown, but I couldn't readily find a DIY post on how to do this. It can't be hard. I'll keep looking and/or Rich or jomari or mdabb may know of one.

More later on H/F reflective panels for the 1st reflection points.
