Tell us about your acoustic treatments


After three years my HT is about 95% complete, i have huge corner super chunk bass traps, i use wooden diffusers for flutter echo and 4” OC703 absorbers at the first reflection point.
my screen is an AT type, i have zippered pillowcases with pink owens corning pink fluffy to place under and all around the LCR. I also made (all diy) some skyline type diffusers for first reflections and flutter echo.

To me, bass trapping is about decay time. 
The idea of producing sound, and then controling it was very foreign to me in the beginning, once you understand reflection points, flutter echo, standing waves, those are common issues in dedicated HT’s.

i never measured before implementing the corner traps :0/  so definitely i cannot show you proof on paper, maybe when im retired and project hunting, i’ll pull em out and plot some graphs....

theres no doubt about the bass decay, i find it very acceptable

For me, it was “wow, this completely transformed the low end and was more than worth every dollar spent.” It made more difference to the sound in my old room than spending 3x the money on speakers. And the new room, being well sealed and in the basement, was a hopeless echo chamber without bass trapping.

And in cleaning up the low end, you should get far more clarity across the rest of the band.
Thanks Mike. I’m not familiar with all the products you use. Is it mainly absorptive bass traps? Any limp membranes? Tuned traps? Resonators?
I only used superchunk corner traps, diffusers and absorber, i had no large peaks that needed addressing.

the room measured so well i dont use the parametrics EQ in my MiniDSP for my subs, and adding in room gain gets me flat to 10hz
