Tube Traps and other room treatments

Tab110s - will have to pass on the Shadow Casters; it cost me a fortune to get four large cube traps shipped to England, so any more large treatments will have to wait a year until I get back to the states. Carl - can't say I've read ALL the literature (I don't own Alton Everest's book, yet), but I've read lots in the popular journals and ASC's on-line library. The Frescoes seen like a good product..did you ever experiment with full rounds instead?

Hi Carl; I have several ASC 11" tubes, but don't know what "frescoes" are? Could you enlighten me? Thanks, Craig.

Frescoes are the best and most versatile product any acoustic treatment company ever came out with! (They've been on the market about a year and a half. Go to tubetrap.com to learn more about them. Also, they're aesthetically beautiful...and easy as hell to move around. They're about the bass absorbing equivalent of a 10 inch full round. You don't use them in the corners, but along the walls, so they don't need to absorb low bass. TO SUMINSBY: Full rounds actually aren't as goosd as Frescoes to go along the walls; full rounds work best in the corners, and really 16 inches are the minimum ones that work well for the bass range. The 20 and 24 inch ones are ideal if you need to smooth your room's bottom octave energy. I've only needed to smooth the middle and upper bass energy.

Thanks Carl. TO SUMINSBY??? Craig.

The argument I've heard in favor of full rounds is that you can rotate them to adjust the amount of the diffussor covering that is oriented towards the listener. I assume the Frescoes are absorbtive on one side, and diffusive on the other?
