GIK - Free 3D Acoustics modelling!

Hi Everyone, 

I just got an e-mail from my favorite home acoustics treatment company. They now have a 3D modelling tool! Yeay!

Let me know if you try it, I won't be able to for a long time.

Best,

Erik, ASC IS expensive. I got lucky and found my Traps for $10 each, including two 16" ! I found them in the mid-90's, listed in The Recycler, a Buy/Sell newspaper in SoCal. I went to the sellers house to pick them up, and the place was empty except for them. Weird! I think he had bought the house to flip, and the Traps were left behind. Bass traps can be made DIY for not much $, for those who aren't as lucky as I.

GIK has a great product line, especially for absorption at first reflection locations, and for diffusion. Bass Traps, though, require more Herculian effort, and ASC pretty much owns that segment of the market.

C’mon Erik, one bad experience with ASC products and you write them off?! I fairly recently visited Audiogon member folkfreak, whose room was designed with heavy input from Art Noxon, and is fitted with many ASC products. Incredible sounding room and system (he has an ARC 40th Anniversary Edition Reference pre-amp!). I have 13 Tube Traps (as well as DIY panels, and PI diffusers), and have been in many ASC treated rooms, including those at CES Vegas. There are a lot of pro recording studios treated with ASC---are the studio engineers and owners deaf? If ASC stuff was as bad as you say, the company would have been out of business a LONG time ago. Art Noxon is one of the leading acoustical engineers in the world, holder of numerous patents, a true expert in his field.
