Small room....treating 1st reflection points

Hi Everyone,

Thinking of treating 1st reflection points at side walls, front and back walls. Some foam cornere bass traps. Floor has a throw rug. Not gonna treat ceiling. Bedroom size 10 x 14 x 10. Have access to 1 inch acoustic foam...will I be able to see an improvement or should I even bother since it's only 1".

Thanks.

Rebbi,

I recall your room having a lot of exposed drywall, and appearing pretty lively acoustically.

Definitely consider the auralex 2X2X1 fabric panels. I put them up in my room downstairs and the wife never complained. BEsides doing their job as advertised, they are also aesthetically quite neutral.

Check out ATS acoustics web site. I have built several panels using their material.

Have had good luck using mattress pads I use polyfill over mattress
pad cover with wood frame and fabric.

I referenced the Nextacoustics site above and want to mention they use the exact same foam used in Auralex products. Pretty sure their web site mentions this and I can attest to this as I have products from both. Also, both companies are located on the north side of Indianapolis. I'm half tempted to go dumpster diving.

You're going to need broadband absorbers for your reflection points, and DEEP traps in your corners and rear wall. Foam won't do much of anything. Check out the GIK site for info. Lots of good info on the Gearslutz site too.
