    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Question regarding the fractal diffuser described here: http://arqen.com/wp-content/docs/diffusers/Diffuser-A1LF-Fab-Drawings-Arqen.pdf Is there a way to figure out the minimum distance there needs to be between the diffuser and the MLP? My best guess is that I'm safe to use this design at the...

    Hi DDude.. sorry for a late reply.. I've been away from home and my listening room for a few weeks and won't be back for another few weeks. Thanks for the links you've shared.. they all work fine and provide excellent information. Hi Jean38.. thanks for the input.. I definitely plan to add...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Hi ddude003, Yes, I'll just continue on my journey and not worry too much about how to create the Convolution filters before I get to that point. What I meant was only that — and this is purely (and maybe poorly as well) based on internet research — while REW can create convolution filters it...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Hey Ben, I haven't had the subwoofer on when taking the measurements.. so that'll hopefully add some of the boost you're describing. Regarding the potential inconsistencies: - Based on what I've read before I've joined this forum and before I took measurements, I was wondering whether it is...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Hey Ben, Thank you. these are good points, much agree with them. However, the Roon Nucleus+ I have in my chain does allow me to load parametric EQ and convolution filters (as ddude003 has rightly pointed out to me). For PEQ I can use REW to create the filters and upload them into Roon...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    As always, thank you both for your input, support, and guidance! My bad.. the question in there would have been if I've understood and summarized your and Ben's points correctly.. but you've answered that anyway. Correct, I don't plan any speakers modifications and I'll stick to 2.1 (max...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Hi .. I'm back home and have spent two half days taking measurements.. but before I go there, let me see if I understand your DSP guidance right: DSP Question One option is to use the DCX2496 between the preamp and amp, which is an additional A/D/A conversion but allows to set delays, phase...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Thank you both! I'm going to aim the mic straight up and will measure the sub separately! The sub XO is a tricky point.. I haven't spent too much time with that yet and with the little time I've spent I've not made very much progress yet. I have no digital (or analog) external crossover, so...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Quick question to everbody.. please. Could you take a look at the attached measurements and let me know if there are any obvious flaws with how I've taken the measurements, as far as can be told from the graphs. At this stage I'm mostly interested in the process of taking the measurements. If it...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Hey Ben, yes.. the fact this is all in the basement is certainly a challenge. I've tried to contain it by taking following steps: Two of the room's sidewalls are concrete. In front of those there's a drywall construction .. in German that's called "Vorsatzschale".. according to the online...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    It's fascinating to get all this feedback (after having thought I'd be alone in all of this).. so thanks all very much! Hi @BenToronto, I think I have a lot of absorbents (as also rightly pointed out by ddude003) but I will add a few photos (to the chat, not the room ;)) to better show what...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    I totally follow what you're saying and it makes perfect sense. Then again, I might have misled you by omitting important information beforehand.:oops: So let me add some of the missing pieces of info and upload a few photos as well. The backside of the absorbers is ugly, so I want to keep it...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Thanks for your help! I've got the 6th Edition but chapter 12 is on absorption, so that seems right. I'm wondering, though, the holes are relevant for Helmholtz and resonant absorberts where there's an enclosed cavity with one or more holes. In my case, I believe what I'm dealing with is just a...

    Absorbers as bass traps - question regarding absorber's backwall.

    Thanks, that's great advice! Matter of fact, I do have a copy of that book. Bought it when I was planning the listening room (whose dimensions I could—within limitations—choose relatively freely) when I was segmenting off a space within our basement) and I was seeking information on room ratios...
