Cool article about room acoustics and treatment

[Mbroady]

Finishing up my new (to me) man cave. Over the course of the last 2 months I have researched how to best create a good recording space as well as my little home theater space.

This is an article I found to be informative and easy to understand.

That is an excellent and comprehensive article. I've downloaded it for future reference.

Yep, some good info. Curious to see what other experienced folks think of it. There is one point I would correct, or better yet expand upon. The author states dense material is best, but I have read that the fluffy pink insulation works well (better) in bass traps if given enough depth

yeas pink fluffy works but roxul works a bit better if using chunky corner bass traps

owen708 is the best fro broadband absorption

Never heard of Owen 708. Do you mean 703 or 705?

I was wondering that also ( I have 703 in my absorbers ) . Anyway the article is a pretty good rundown on the basics

Good article.
On the 'fluffy' fiberglass (pink or yellow stuff) - you need to be MUCH thicker in order to get the same absorption - 16" at least. If you've got the room, great, most of us don't.

Thanks for this. My room definitely needs work...
