Update: I picked up a box of 2" 703 which I am going to wrap in fabric and put up. There are 12 sheets in the box, as this was the smallest amount they'd sell me. Ideally I will get 3" 705-FRK sheets in the future to use for the corners, but for now I am trying to make use of all the 703 I...

Okay, success. I went over there today and picked up case of 703. It was $105.60 total (12 sheets at 2" thickness, $1.10/sq ft). They do offer 705 and 705-FRK, but they didn't have any in the store so you have to order them. There is no additional charge for ordering though, you just have to...

I called them a couple of days ago and got an answering machine. They never called me back. :( I even emailed them and they didn't email back. I'll have to try again. Did you get supplies from them yourself?

Freedom is overrated. I needs me my 703.

Another example of how knowledge is power. They are taking advantage of people who don't know how simple it really is. Our knowledge on making panels saves us a load of cash!

Tonio, as I understand, bass trapping will indeed help you reduce the dip at 80 Hz you are experiencing. The null is caused by reflections of the wave coming back from the walls and meeting with the original signal, thereby cancelling the frequency out. The trap will absorb the waves and...

Does anyone know a place to get Owens Corning 703 and 705-FRK fiberglass in San Diego or nearby areas? Is there an online store somewhere that sells this stuff? It seems to be incredibly elusive.

Owens-Corning 703 rigid fiberglass comes in thicknesses up to 4", and 705-FRK comes in thicknesses up to 3". Home Depot does not stock either of these in the store but they can special order it for you. This is what I'm going to do at some point soon.

Yes, I'd be curious about the answers to those questions as well. I was thinking I'd go for the thickest possible for the bass ones (3" or 4") and thinnest (1") for mid/highs. But if 1" was considered thick, it'd be good to know that I am way off before I go and order some sheets!

Okay, that will save a lot of time and money. Would you suggest I use both 703 and 705-FRK to try to cover a larger frequency range? And what about the higher frequencies? Will the same sheets of fiberglass be able to dampen flutter echoes? It seems like I'd need something on the wall...

Hello everyone, I am planning to do a treatment of my bedroom studio this summer by making some panels based on Ethan's designs. My room has a few oddities which make things difficult. Firstly, the entire west wall is a sliding glass door. Secondly, the southeast corner has a little inlet...

Hey all, quick question: What is the reason for building a wooden frame for bass traps and absorpers? Is there a huge disadvantage to just wrapping a sheet of rigid fiberglass in fabric and sticking that up on the wall? The panels in the picture in the "Built my own wall panels" thread appear...

Yeah, that only works if you say it out loud. But it was pretty hilarious, nonetheless.

I have been using these monitors for many years and have finally ordered some more professional monitors just a few days ago. The MA-8's have worked phenomenally for their size and price, however. If you're just mixing on little consumer computer speakers, I think these are definitely worth...

Thanks, Ethan. I have been reading several of your articles/guides back and forth and am probably mixing them up quite a bit. I understand the general concepts of placement and such, but I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to do it in my room. I don't have the money to make enough...

Hiya, I am trying to decide how I want to position bass traps and absorbers in my bedroom studio. This image on the realtraps.com website shows a general guideline for bass trap distribution: http://www.realtraps.com/placing_mt.gif What I'm looking for is something similar but for placement...

I tested the S5's at a store against the Alesis M1 Active MK2's, M-Audio BX8's, Behringer Truths, and Event TR8's, and it sounded better than all of them. So I ordered a pair of the S8's which should be even better. I'll post again when they arrive.

I just ordered a pair of Tapco S8's this afternoon. After two listening tests in the store, I found the S5's sounded better than the Alesis M1 Active MK2's, Behringer Truths, M-Audio BX8's, and Event TR8's. Since the S5 sounded better than all those, I'm sure the S8 will be even better. I'll...
