Just made my first one using the technique in the video and it turned out great!! 3 more to go and the best part is in total it has only cost $23 each to make em!! Sweet!!

You can’t get exactly these products in other countries. That way it is good to read up on the science behind this. Again, Google for Rigid Fiberglass Density Tests by Ethan Winer.

My local home improvment store could only order a huge load of them, so I’ll go with what they got: two 50mm 65kg/m3 acoustic panels PAROC NRS 2t. With a dense layer of glass fiber on one side, these will hopefully work the same as owens corning with foil reinforced kraft paper.

You shouldnt follow this tutorial and then switch one of the components, there is a reason they are the ones chosen. good tutorial btw

Joel – What is the approximate cost for this project? Thanks.

no prob. its the best way to treat a room in a house you rent (which is the case with me too) good luck!

I totally get where your coming from,thanks so much on the reply,i think i’m gonna put a couple on my ceiling over my listening point and a few behind my desk, and the corners of course…..once again thanks man..

well the thing aobut broadband trapping is that since the bass isnt flooding your ears anymore, you have better definition in the mid and hi frequencies. also you are more clearly able to determine what the bass will actually sound like in a mix.

how much better has your sound improved, is it mostly for the bass, or does the mid & highs brighten up also..

Been trying to get good sound out of my bedroom for recording…found this and gonna give it a try! THANK YOU!!!

Most basstraps I’ve seen have relatively wide pieces of wood for the edges that enclose the insulation.
Is there any added benefit in using the fabric to create the edges or doesn’t it matter much?
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
oh. i meant to comment. i did these . they work great!
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Search online and it’ll turn up plenty of places to get acoustic insulation. Some home improvement type places sell it too. As far as the “bass trap backer”, they’re referring to everything built so far at that point in the video, meaning the frame with the fabric attached.

I have to come here and comment on your video. I watched this last week and put 10 of these together in 5 hours over the weekend. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

I followed these instructions and now have a beautifully treated room! Thanks so much for your help!

Great video, thanks!!! They also look neat! I’ve got a question. I’m in México and i’ve looked everywhere for 703 or 705 panels, with no luck. But there’s plenty of 704.. will those work as well?? I’m confused since everyone uses 703 or 705, and as far as i’m aware, the difference between them is the density so 704 is something in between? I’ve never seen 702 or 704 in absorption coefficient charts. Can someone help?
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Yea actually i found it last night, thanks for your help man.

Great diy tutorial and some excellent advice.
I recommend checking out their website, they have a ton of information up there.
I wonder, i once found a piece of software that could measure the acoustics of a room and give you an idea of any problem spots you may have. I will have to do some mroe searching, but does anyone know of a program that does this ? Oviously without paying out huge sums of money !

Thank you, Excellent 5*

question: Is this good for absorbing rebound from drums?
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
wow thx,
another question:
should i use thicker woods to leave more depth for air gap between the wall??
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
If using it in a corner, leave the back open.
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Do i have to seal the back?????
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
AzulBaronis: obvious like 1+1= 2 …
February 10th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Can anyone tell me what kind of fabric should be used for the panel? Professional recommend burlap cuz its fine grade {insulation won’t seep out} but still absorbs sound waves. Any cheaper alternatives?
