The little thing is nothing but just a sample for the tutorial. It's a sample used to show how it's built. We never and won't recommend that folks should build to the same miniature size. Everyone should feel free to build to their desired dimensions according to their room needs.

@@neptuneaudiospace great craftsmanship info tho. Super informative. Thanks. I’m sorry for being a grump

Yes, absolutely! 100% Cotton materials are perfect for acoustics panels.

The performance of many porous absorbers can be explained by comparing the size of the sound wave to the depth of the treatment. The size of the wave is quantified using the wavelength, which is the distance between adjacent crests of the wave. The wavelength varies greatly with frequency: at 50Hz the wavelength is 6.8m, at 500Hz it is 0.68m and at 5000Hz it is 0.068mm. A simple rule of thumb is that for a porous absorber to be effective it needs to at least a 10th of a wavelength thick. At 500Hz, this equates to a depth of 6.8cm. The very large wavelengths of low-frequency sounds are the reason why bare acoustic foam makes an inefficient bass absorber unless the material is extremely thick. For a 52Hz sound, for example, a layer of porous absorbent 65cm thick is needed to provide absorption and this needs to cover a large surface area, not just a few pieces in the room corners.

You shouldn't be too worried once your panels are wrapped and remain hung on the wall. If you want to ensure peace of mind, use fabric like Duck Canvas, which has a tighter weave that can trap those loose fibers and keep them from escaping into your space. However, It's important to apply safety during the building stage.

We did close the back for safety reasons; to keep the insulation from falling out too much. We did mention in the video that it is optional. You may leave the back open if you prefer.

Just been up for 11 months. That's why

Working on releasing the video on that

Working on releasing the video that involves using simple tools

​@neptuneaudiospace Curious, I don't have access to most of these tools (although I have a friend with a drill and a staple gun) but can't you find/use a place like home depot to cut the wood?

@justingriffin36 Yes, some of these stores have these power tools, and they do give access to customers for use. So you can definitely do that.

You can do it with a circular saw and a square. And A LOT of patience and planning.

😄

Use either product. They are both great at absorbing deep. In terms of safety, the Rockwool SnS might be a little safer, but the Comfortboard is pretty safe too.

As long as the clips are tightly secure both on the wall and on the panel, you should not have any problem with the vibration on them. Maybe if they are a little loose, then you should be concerned. Also, the weight of the panel may help to keep the inertia on those clips so that they don't vibrate too easily.

Wow, thank you for your awesome comment. We hope to get this to more viewers!

Thanks for your comment. We will keep this in our notes. Hopefully, soon we can make an in-depth video on this topic.

​@@neptuneaudiospacesería genial verlo.

Thanks for your comment! There are various types and brands of absorption materials out there. They all perform well and only with slight differences here and there in their performances. If you need a great performance at an affordable price, Rockwool Insulation is the best option. Recycled Cotton and Sheepwool Insulation are awesome at performance but they are not the most affordable, and they are not easily found on the market, unlike Rockwool which is widely available anywhere. You can find Rockwool at your local Lowes or Home Depot store. This is why Rockwool might be considered the best for both price and quality performance, though in terms of safety, Rockwool may not be the safest material ever. But much safer than Fiberglass at least.

Wooden dowels are a good idea but the effect of the screw can be negligible. We build in bulk so time is precious.

This ^^. Very true. To handle bass the traps need to be much deeper. It would also be much better to use a panel of high density rigid fiberglass or rockwool (80-90 kg/m3) as the front layer and make a much larger trap. Look at designs like the Primacoustic Maxxtrap. 24" wide front facing. The design and process looks good, but the size is just too small to be effective at low frequencies. Bass wavelengths are large with a ton of power. Bass-oriented treatments also are generally large.

Thanks for your comment! This is a tutorial video. We only used this as an example to show how these are built. We know most rooms will need basstrap bigger and deeper than that. We do have bigger, deeper bass traps in our own space. Obviously, we'd expect anyone looking to DIY to build according to their space requirements. Every type of room has different needs, which in most cases, you'll need basstraps deeper than the sample used in this video. Hope this helps clarify!

The plastic wrap should be between the fabric and rockwool.

Check out our 'Building Tips' Playlist on our homepage. You'll find the video showing how we made the brackets.

Duct tape obviously

9 inch nails

There are several other ways you could make similar-looking bass traps without using a table saw. We will eventually put some videos together showing how to do this using some really simple tools.

Thanks for your comment. Will make diffuser contents eventually. Will make sure to do this for both Skyline and Quadratic.

Noted! We'll definitely put content together for this. Thanks for the amazing suggestion!

Thanks for your comment! We're yet to put that video together. You gave us a reminder.

Wow, thanks for the motivation!

Not sure about the effectiveness of wood wool compared to these industry standards but would be interesting to look into it and do some experiments.
