What room treatment or treatments...

I'm using a number of DIY bass traps and absorbers based on a variety of Owens Corning 703/705 rigid fiberglass. I went DIY because I needed something that would exactly fit my needs, plus I wanted something that looked good in the room.

I currently have floor to ceiling bass traps in all four cornters, wall and ceiling absorbers at the first reflection points and I'm working on a couple of membrane-type bass traps and then a diffuser.

There's a lot of excellent information on the Room Acoustics forum (sponsored by Rives) over on AA plus Ethen Winers and Jon Risch's sites. If you have some basic woodworking/shop skills, you can get professional results and use all the extra money for more gear.

Advent,

That seems like a lot of bass trapping.

Were you having resonance problems?

Bgrazman - Actually, it's really not all that much. Ethan seems to believe that it's almost impossible to overtrap low bass. Don't know yet if he's right or not, but I'm using this as a learning experience and playing around with different treatments. I'm got a decent size room that has some issues, including a specific peak that I might try to address with the membrane type traps.

I was thinking about having Rives do a Level 1 on my room as well-and may still-but decided to go this route first and see what I learned. There's a ton of available information (and opinions) out there, so there's lots to try. What I do know at this point is that room acoustics is a very big deal and my room and system is much improved with treatment.

Of course, Ethan has a vested interest in selling traps...

Of course, the important thing is the sound--I'm most of the way done with implementing my Rives Level 1 (diffuser is 6 weeks from delivery, then I have to deal with the ceiling) and I'm delighted.

Happy listening,

bgrazman care to expand on how you built your rigid panels for reflection points

Based on the pictures you did a fabulous job

I'm in the process of building some rigid panels for absorption and need a bit of guidance
