I wouldn't put the wooden back on it so the sound can pass through and then reflect off the wall back through the bass trap for further absorption. Air gaps really boost the effectiveness of traps. Try with a fabric back.

I thought the same thing until I saw that it's basically a thin piece of card. Something like that would only reflect high frequencies and those aren't making it through the rockwool.

I agree.the backing is there for structural reasons. But it could be replaced with slats to provide triangulation. Also, it looks like insulation as well as the walls help keep it stable.

Follow up. I built these and they didn’t do all that much to tame 40-60hz. I built 2 diaphragmatic bass absorbers for 40hz and it was infinitely more effective. It took several hours to plan and build and they are extremely heavy but well worth the effort.

@@alexmacias3837 Maybe because the bass traps need to be a lot thicker, like minimum 17 inches to really absorb bass

I’ve got some large cabinets in my theatre room, I was going to give them away, now, I think I will fill them with the acoustic insulation and keep them

Did you perform any before-and-after room response measurements to demonstrate the effect of this treatment?

great idea!

Thank you for the video; it presents an interesting cost-effective solution. Have you conducted any acoustic measurements before and after its implementation? If so, could you share them with us?

@ProbablyStereoClub Жыл бұрын

No i haven't, but the improvement was significant. They do exactly the same thing as any other insulation based treatment, just a lot cheaper ;)

@gecko82 2 ай бұрын

Great idea, but I wish you would have measured the frequency response before and after!

@Kyrylo_Borovyk Ай бұрын

Sir, I apploud you. Im looking for making several acoustic panels for my streaming studio and it never crossed my mind to just get some old “free” furniture from Facebook market to stuff it with insulation. Thank you so much for the idea!

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing. I'm thinking of building the same with the BILLY bookshelf because I have a very low ceiling. Quick question: Why did you cut these card strips? Couldn't you just staple the fabric on the interior wood?

@ProbablyStereoClub Жыл бұрын

Hi thanks. I guess I just wanted to make sure the fabric didn't tear in the long run. It might work fine either way

@Techno_dad Жыл бұрын

Could this be done using smaller width size cabinets as my area is not so big thanks for the video.

@ProbablyStereoClub Жыл бұрын

I guess so, its just very convenient using this particular shelf since the width is the same as standard insulation sheets - no extra cutting needed.

@djsamizreik 5 ай бұрын

Amazing I'm literally starting to prepare doing that. I'm wondering, though, finnsby's seem to be 9 inch thick. Isn't this too much for a bass trap? or is it ok?

@Angellus502 5 ай бұрын

more is better for below 200hz. the same distance air gap behind doubles performance if you have a faberic back

@MrDry2009 Жыл бұрын

Why did you cover the back of it? Why not let sound pass through it?

@ProbablyStereoClub Жыл бұрын

You don't want the fibres to escape! Plus, a few millimetres of board wouldn't stop anything but the very highest frequencies - and those have already been absorbed by 3 layers of rockwool. Sound wise, it doesn't make a difference.

@allpdmusic Жыл бұрын

Maybe a dumb question but.. how well does this keep the fibers from escaping? Just asking because I know breathing that in is not very healthy. Great video by the way!

@ProbablyStereoClub Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Judging by other's accounts, a reasonably quality fabric should prevent fibers from escaping. You could always wrap the insulation in plastic, as extra precaution.

@@ProbablyStereoClubwouldn’t plastic stop the the absorption of base frequencies. Everything else I’ve seen says it should be breathable cover plastic obviously isn’t?

@richardgrumbine4867 Жыл бұрын

The plastic will have little to no effect sonically... in fact you could just use the material as is in the wrapper... not attractive but it would work. You could just make a cloth slip to go over it.That is what I plan to do. Then you don't need to handle the material directly at all! @@teapotwood2817

@aleksandardojcinovic1002 Ай бұрын

Should have wrapped the mineral wool in plastic due to potential floating micro particals (floating in your lung)! And, no, the bass trap effect would not be reduced, because of the plastic.

how much rockwool should i consider buying if i do this ? i don’t want to buy too much but buying too little doesn’t seem smart neither

@ProbablyStereoClub Жыл бұрын

For this one, I used 3 x 75mm thick rockwool and the sheets are the right width - so its just a matter of measuring (can't remember) the height of the shelf and do the maths.

@clarablack1101 4 ай бұрын

Not enough; missing the airgap behind, doesn't cost anything and also just the corners isn't enough impact in most rooms, don't forget the ceiling corners! The mineral/glass wool used is perfect, not to dense.
