OP,
The cylinders are tube traps. I have owned a pair for 25 years. With my current room (large) they are not so important. But in smaller rectangular rooms they are. In side is designed to face outwards and reflects high frequency and midrange. They trap bass. They can also used in the middle against the front wall… and at other reflection points. |
I have a 12 x 16 room with 7 1/2 foot ceilings. Yeah I know the cylinder you speak about, but I was looking for a diffuser cylinder all the way around. Diffuser are a pain in the ass to buy with all the various designs and not seeing the one I really want unless I have to spend two to $3000. Let's face it lots of them look pretty crappy. Frankly I’m concerned if I put diffusers in my room it may enhance the clarity of the music moreso. So I’m not sure if diffusers would be a good thing. Although it would be nice to dull the higher end frequencies at times which can be harsh depending upon the recording.

@dekay Re egg flats....cheap seats, zero WAF. *L* In the basement dungeons, backed with rock wool sheets and angled, it’ll work. Best to be a confirmed bachelor if in the living space is the only option.... Been around enough garage bands with delusions of grandeur, but funds limited to equipment v. ’studio treatments’. Anything to keep the neighbors from being revolting...reference "Joe’s Garage" - F. Zappa Personally I've been considering these: Available in a number of patterns, can accept paint...won't 'go' with Early American or other sorts of furnishings that y'all live with and prefer and enjoy, but...beats being banished to the basement or out of the homestead entirely. ;) |
