Another great video James! Hard to find affordable treatment that works. Thomann (sp?) seems to have a lot of well conceived / designed treatments for a reasonable price too. Good to have a little on those early reflections 🙏🏼

The design of the foam pieces looks like they were kind of derived from quadratic diffusers. So you're probably getting some diffusion as well as a tiny bit of absorption of high frequencies. I doubt they do anything for lower frequencies since it's low density foam.

Correct. As stated in the review. 😊😊

I'll like to add some but paint the hell out of them to break up more frequencies.

The same echoes you heard in the space where you record dialog can and will occur in any space where there are opposing, parallel and hard surfaces. And just as you heard how those echoes compromise the clarity and purity of the sound of your voice, so too will those echoes compromise the clarity and purity of recorded music playback. So although you claim you think open baffle speakers don't benefit from acoustic treatments in the room, that's certainly not always going to be the case... especially in a scenario where the room is creating echoes. Sound energy is sound energy regardless of the delivery method and it will be indiscriminately subjected to the physics that influence its behavior. I've built a few open baffle designs and their performance absolutely improved when in a room with controlled echoes/reflections compared to otherwise. Whether you get that control through room furnishings or proper acoustic treatment devices or a combination of the two isn't as important as simply ensuring you have something in the room to ameliorate the excessive echoes.

@@tinnitusintx Yea. Good points. Open baffles just need much less that a box speaker typically. The room becomes the box. 📦

Room treatment is not the B all and end all in audio reproduction. It merely changes the ambiance of the listening environment. If the end user finds those altered acoustics preferable, that is purely down to personal taste.

Keep the hobbyist's open mind......................... Marked with an X, where in the listening room are the two spots of highest room gain and/or SPL levels? What causes the increase over other spots? Answer below; Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊 Marked by an X would be; 1. Directly in front of the loudspeaker at its acoustic center. 2. Along front wall between loudspeakers at their acoustic centers. The cause; Proximity to drivers. Correct?

Thank you brother for this I don't proud to be part of this group I appreciate what you do donating the money from all the work you put in! I want to build a pair of open baffle speakers brother The only thing I have a question is do I have the wrong amplifiers for this I have Jeff Rowland model 3 mono blocks i have gr research speakers now I do know I want to build a open baffle subwoofer or two and I have that crown amp sitting around
@abxaudiophilesАй бұрын
The baffles are not amp bound like other speakers. They’ll shine with basically everything

The cost is more reasonable than would seem possible at $1.46 a piece I have listened/watched to hours and hours and hours of treatment videos and I will not opine on the ultimate efficacy of the product Put them in my wishlist

I have open baffle as well. The only treatment I was thinking about was diffuser panel on the front wall for improvement depth of the sound stage and bass traps. Right now my front wall is dry wall and a tv in the middle. What is your thoughts?
@abxaudiophilesАй бұрын
@@ericelmore887 I agree. ☝️. Bass traps to the sides, not behind worked best at the show for us, with the dispersion portion facing the side of the baffle. We had then behind in the corners and the stage collapsed. Less is more I think with baffles.
