I was thinking the same thing when I was looking at it, but something tells me that that price is for each square foot, and that the description is a bit badly typed.

Make some of your own! Get some rigid fiberglass like Owens Corning 703 and straddle the room corners with from floor to ceiling. Works great, and is really cheap. Just cover the panels in fabric to keep the fibers intact.

Typically most folks go with absorption instead of diffusion for small rooms, but I don't know exactly where the cut off is between a small room and a large room. It's not really set in stone. What do you want the room to be like as a recording environment? Do you want it to be live and add...

I would pick Example B. Not only is it easier to make, but if you think about it, the way the fiberglass is positioned already varies the effective air space behind the panel. At the center of the panel the air space is quite large, at the edges of the panel, the air space is only a few inches...

So you're talking about building a smaller room within the big room? Actual room construction is beyond my knowledge, I know a bit more about acoustically treating an existing room and setting up in it than the optimum dimensions of a new room. I do know that non parallel walls can be helpful...

Well, what do you want to know exactly? Are you asking about how to set up your listening position and monitors, or how to acoustically treat the room, or how to set up instruments for recording, or...

Why, thank you. I figured I'd save you some typing. :p It's all based on your information and my experiences in following it. I've seen how well it works, and I'm glad to help the next guy in line.

Yeah, egg cartons are worthless for anything other than carting eggs. They do squat for acoustics. What you want to do is get some rigid fiberglass, like Owens Corning 703 or Johns Manville Spin-Glas board. Look around, about half of the discussion on this forum is about this stuff.

That's why we love ya, Ethan. Although I personally try to read as much as I can of your articles so hopefully I don't have to ask you things I can find out on my own. I don't think I've actually asked you a question in a couple weeks because between the articles and things I've asked before, I...

I did something similar with my panels. I don't have pics available, but I just sewed burlap bags (basically oversized burlap pillowcases) for my fiberglass and then put in some hammer in grommets for sewing. You can get them at wal mart, they work fine. I just put four of those at the four...

I think I know what Ethan will say about some of this, so I'll try to save him some typing. The specific Johns Manville rigid fiberglass that they make for acoustical purposes is called Spin-Glas board. I would check with the Home Depot guys and see if that's what they have, and if it isn't...

I agree 110%. I consider it a privilege and a godsend to be able to pick the brain of someone so much more experienced than myself. I don't think there's very many people out there who would offer such extensive DIY advice to people when their very own business is in the same field. I applaud...

Anything above the cheapo models are pretty sweet (and the cheap ones are just as good as any other cheap guitar out there). In my opinion, the Schecter Blackjack series is one of the best values to be had in the world of guitar right now. Mahogany body with carved top Set maple neck Body...

I certainly apologize if I took your post the wrong way. Subtle humor doesn't always come across in text. As I was reading it it seemed to me that perhaps it was humorous, but the last couple sentences seemed a bit more of a put down. For future reference, one of these :rolleyes: sometimes...

I guess they don't have humor where you're from? Please don't allow my meager attempts at levity to stop you from dropping as many acoustics terms as possible to make yourself appear smarter than everyone else.

Well, in that case you would OBVIOUSLY want to use 8.42765 inches of super absorptive polysorbatiackrium mounted exactly one fifth the troublesome wavelengths' square root opposite all the trihedral corners. Of course, you would have to be extremely careful about where you place the atomic...

Welcome to the problem all of us have. We know what to use and how to use, but we don't know WHERE to find it!

Ever try the 20/20's? They translate very well for me.

See this is cool. I read most of that LOOOOOOOONG thread about the Wharfedales, people comparing them to almost every monitor I've ever heard of with almost no mention at all of Event's. I was wondering if I got ripped off or there was some taboo about Event's I didn't know about, like the whole...

See, that's what I'm talking about. You can't really expect an accurate representation of a monitors' sound in a horrible sounding untreated room with boomy low end buildup and flutter echoes flying past your ears. Room treatment is SO important. The bass trapping was very important for my...
