Small room....treating 1st reflection points
So what's a good place to buy prefab treatment products without breaking the bank? If you need foam products I recommend http://nextacoustics.com/. For acoustic panels I have used http://www.atsacoustics.com/ with great success. They made me a custom size panel at a very reasonable price. |
A super cheap way to try if you hear a difference is to simply place pillows on the first reflection points...except ceiling, of course. I built my DIY traps with fiberglass panels and they work fine for me. Maybe commercial ones would be better, but the physics behind what's going on is pretty basic, especially at the high frequencies these can treat, so I tend to think DIY gets you very close to "there". Using REW I could not measure any impact on low frequencies by using these or DIY tube traps (ok, a marginal improvement with the latter that was not worth the looks), but did notice a clear impact from using a Helmholtz resonator (at the design frequency, of course). |
I use and like Auralex |
