I use Event 20/20 passives myself, and I really like them. Their published specs are 38hz to something like 20khz +-3db. But I do have to say, I feel that room acoustics are more important than the small differences between monitors, to a point. If you have a small room that's totally...

The heaviest ones weigh 24 pounds each, those are the ones loaded with 8 pound density mineral wool. The other ones with the lighter stuff (about half as dense, though I don't have the specs) are 14 pounds. The two inch thick panels are about 7 or 8 pounds. I spent about $600 total, but that...

No, I wouldn't. I actually abandoned it halfway through. The pic with it in it is the first trap I made. The fabric is plenty.

Yeah, for those that are reading this thread, for fabric to work acoustically it needs to be a loose enough weave for air to pass through it easily. Tight weave synthetic fabrics will block air and thus reflect some sounds instead of passing them through to the fiberglass to be absorbed. A...

>1. For your 4" thick traps, did you use 4" thick 703/mineral wool or is it 2" of insulation and 2" of air space?< Four inches thick mineral wool or fiberglass. You need the mass to absorb low frequencies. >2. I can't tell from the pictures but how did you mount your 2" thick units that are...

May I ask, why are you boring holes in the frames? It would seem that you're going for more absorption by having more exposed fiberglass, but I would wonder if the result will really be worth it. Another thing is that I would think it would weaken the frame when you go to hang it. What density...

Don't worry Rick, I'm not that dumb. I knew what I was doing going into this. The fabric is similar to canvas, but not as thick and not sealed. I did the 'breath test' on it before I got it, and you can easily breathe through THREE layers of the stuff with almost no effort. You can also easily...

Yes, Ethan taught me most of what I know about practical application of acoustic treatment. Placement, materials, all that I learned from Ethan. I just built simple pine frames out of 1" by 6" board, and loaded them with the mineral wool or fiberglass, then covered them in fabric. I actually...

The bass is tight and controlled, though I admit not perfectly flat. You never really can have perfectly flat response in a room like this. The stereo imaging is pinpoint, you feel like you can reach out with your finger and touch the spot where each instrument is panned. I'm very happy with it...

Hi everybody, I finally finished installing all the acoustic panels I built in my music room. I built ten 2' by 4' 4" thick bass traps covered in blue canvas. They are made from pine 1" by 6" board cut to size and filled with either 8 pound per cubic foot density mineral wool or...

I'm a seven string player, so most of my opinions are about seven string guitars. I played and loved an Ibanez RG7421 seven string as my main guitar for five years. Pulled out the stock pickups and put some Dimarzios in there, and set it up nice and polished the frets. It played amazing, sounded...

:rolleyes: Oh, man that whole fizz deal is so freaking stupid. And it just rages on and on. I'm registered there under the same name as here and I've posted some thoughts on it but the die hards won't budge. It seems to me that there's a big group of fifteen year old metalheads that largely...

The only difference between the PODxt and the PODxt Pro are the connections. The models, firmware, sounds and all that are the same. But with the bean PODxt you get to record out of the 1/4" outputs or the USB port only. With the PODxt Pro, you get all kinds of digital connectivity. Myself, I'm...

When you set up your mix position, you'll need to set up a Reflection Free Zone. This article Ethan Winer wrote has some detailed information on how to do it and why. http://www.realtraps.com/art_room-setup.htm Also, when you get your mix position set up, if the back wall is closer to your...

Do you already have an acoustic set? It would probably be easiest and most practical to convert it to electronic instead of building one from scratch. But then again, you will have to modify it somewhat. Not like wreck it, but you will have to switch the heads and drill a few holes. A simple...

Um, no. The coffee can lid design is the free plan offered on electronicdrums.com to convert a Remo practice pad to electronic. It is only one of many designs on that site. My drums are acoustics converted with an internal trigger like yours, except I didn't spring for the Roland foam cones...

http://www.electronicdrums.com It's a pay site, $20 a year, but SO worth it. I converted my old beat to hell Tama Rockstar kit to electronic using slightly modified plans on that site. I used to have Ddrum Red Shots, which are some of the better and more expensive external triggers. The...

No, it doesn't really make a difference soundwise. Just a different design. Over the years, they figured out how to have a bolt on neck with a more contoured neck heel using individual set in washers and so they did it. It's just a bit less clunky than your typical Fender wood block and plate...

Wharfedale 8.2a actives. They're quite the hot item right now, and you don't even need a power amp for them. In the miscellaneous gear forum there's a thread about them that's about thirty pages long. You can get them for about $300. If I didn't already have and like my Event 20/20's, I'd be...
