Thanks you Jesco, it was a pleasure and an honor to be invited.

This video is inspiring me to upgrade my home studio even further. I have treated room with 12 panels so far. But now I want to build more panels that also are deeper. I’m also just impressed with the sense of detail Rudi puts into this treatment. All that time he spend building those panels.. just amazing.

Thank you Mads, go for it. It makes so much sense to treat your room. I wish I would have done that years ago.

No real description of the "porous" absorbers. No breakdown of materials used or anything.

I agree, He has a paywall in order to get the plans which are pretty standard designs or a membrane design that is public.

I really like the idea of having diffusor fronts on all the panels and swapping them around when needed!

Your English is just fine, Rudi.

HI A.I., Recently, I built a variety of diy acoustic treatments to improve my sound and my skills prior to undertaking a major diy speaker project. Using recyled or repurposed wood, blankets, linen, etc (except for new rockwool), the result looks professional and the response in my hifi listening room is basically flat now (no dips or peaks At All). It sounds amazing, of course. For eg., I made six 2’x4’x6” panels similar to yours, four for the corners and two for the side primary reflection points. Wow! Fantastic results. I may make even more, for the front and back wall and above the listening position. *****Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!*****

Jesco is the man!

Impressive to see reduction in standing waves all the way down to 25 Hz! How did you come up with the estimate of 40 panels required?

I just started building my own studio and never understood why people would just put 10cm thick panels on to the first reflection points. In my opinion, you are only doing it correctly when people around you start telling you that it's "too much" and you should just "back it off a bit" because you are "reducing the room size too much". Meaning: I have 4x 40cm thick basstraps, 3x 30cm thick floor to ceiling panels, 2x 40cm deep ceiling clouds and a 3m x 2.50m x 60cm deep basstrap covering the back wall. And now I've physically ran out of space and have a LOT of the surface area covered with 30cm deep absorption. This is how to do it correctly. Every bit of porous absorption HAS to be as broad-band as possible. 😮

I jesco ! Thanks for every adcise you are giving. It's been very helpful for me. I would really like to buy your course for building a better trap. But since i don't have the money for paying it, i had to dig into the web (aka gearspace etc...). I know that that for small rooms it's better to use bass traps combined with some 1D disffusion. As i see your panels follow this principel. Not to much absorption in order to keep the room imaging "live". But when i saw the tour of your studio 'behind the scenes video" i sa that your hybrid panels are also putted on the side walls. According to the forums that i have found, it is not recommended to diffuse the first reflection, it seems to be better to absorb all of the spectrum in order to perceive just the direct sound. Can you explain why you putted your hybrid panels on your side walls ? Also i'm looking for the sequence you use in your slat surface, it's been kinda difficult to find; I'm guessing you are using the Bobby sequence, or the Newel sequence;. But is that sequence usable for any situation ? I know your bass traps are suppose to work on any home studio situation (small room) but is there a reason for using that particular sequence ? Hope my question is not to long... I love the work you're doing. It's been really helpful for me, since i don't have all the knowledge to really understand acoustics. Thanks a lot !!!!

Jesco can you explain Northward Acoustics FTB rooms, how it works ? in one of your videos?

Great!

It is not a challenge to place poreus absorption everywhere in enough thickness to absorb 50 Hz. The challenge is to maintain the pressure in the room and to create an environment where you can judge the amount of reverb on a source. In a room with only absorption this will be really hard. Would be nice if you would made a video about that.

Is it a good idea to place a diffuser in the rear wall in a room with 4.15m length 2.8m wide and 3m height? Or only absorption instead? Plus, 8 inches speakers will work well with this room?

Wish you would do more videos on acoustics for voiceover

Do these panels have a rigid backing like mdf or just fabric?

Is wood fibre a good insulation alternative to rockwool ?

Nice but, delay in room correction eq? If that's a problem you are using the wrong correction system/speaker. The latency at 44kHz in lets say Genelec is GLM/speakers is about 4 msec and in DIRAC 16 msec and Trinov something around 20+ msec. If you have problems with fades and when sound starts, your brain must work in a very special way 🙂 I also think that a room correction system would be the final 15% improvement in this studio. You could easily get rid of the the few annoying peaks. And, room correction is not only about the room, its also (partly or sometimes) about correction of the speakers 🙂

Hi there, You are right, if you don't care about phase when you eq your room, delay is not an issue. as soon as you add a linear phase eq, there is no way not to introduce latency. that's the thing that i'm really picky about. especially for mastering. when you use sonar works for example, you can choose between zero latency or linear phase. and the linear phase mode will introduce latency. you are right about the trinov, but the trinov is also correcting the phase wich makes it phenomenal, if you can afford it of course ;-) thanks for taking the time to write a comment and share some tipps!

wish me luck, i am treating a 5W 6L 6H feet wooden box room, self made in the tiny space i could spare. All ply wood box. Zero treatment so far, shopping for rockwool etc online these days. I won't be able to achieve any desirable results, but will still try in futility. To make matters worse, i have a 5 inch genelec with a 8 inch sub. Call me crazy, so are most of the musicians. But you know what, i will do my best, since this is only i can spare in my tiny house. Also i use sonarworks, so will try that to rescue me. Lastly, i might have to make do with headphones.

He’s I, if I’d like to get your help designing my room, where should I go?

Can someone post the summary or main thesis? Were his traps deeper than 30cm? How he achieved 25hz?

@delite23

Hi Paul, so basically the traps were 20 cm deep. There are places in the room where i have two, sometimes even three panels right behind each other, so that makes it deeper than 30 cm.

I did change jescos plan and made the modules bigger so i didn’t had to cut the rockwool. Hope that helps. Take Care

BIG QUESTION: For a vocal recording room, can "rigid fiber glass" or "rockwool" bass traps be sealed in thin plastic? There seems to still be lots and lots of debate over this. I've actually heard people recommend 10 inch thick traps with a thin plastic layer over them for acoustic reasons, they say it can reflect the highs while absorbing the lows and some high mids which gives a more even response. Other people say it doesn't effect any sound absorption at all, while still others say it reflects way too much even including the low mids because of something to do with air pressure (in theory). Personally I want to do this for health reasons, but it would be greatly appreciated if any one with any knowledge on this could weigh in on it from an acoustical stand point. If so, thanks a million!!!

you can use many types of fabric to wrap insulation in to prevent them from shedding, which would be easier than plastic, but most rockwool is in fact not damaging to the lungs long term like fiberglass is.
