“Quickest and easiest” procedes to use professional carpentry equipment 😂😂😂
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.
Really good tutorial!!!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
A lot of trigonometry when you can just use take the corner of the room is 90 degrees. Super strong box when it is just holding rock wool. Making a thinner box or just a wrapped rockwool pillow would be just as good.
I’ll get on it right away, just before I put together an entire wood shop together. Is there a tutorial for that too? 😂
Working on releasing the video on that
Hey dude, great videos all along! Do you plan on making one about diffusers by chance?
Thanks for your comment. Will make diffuser contents eventually. Will make sure to do this for both Skyline and Quadratic.
Great tutorial. Any specifications on what kinds of materials make good absorptive material?
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.
Nice tutorial, but this tutorial works only if you have all the tools. A workshop like this is more expensive than buying a couple of bass traps.
You deserve many subscribers. Great video!
Wow, thanks for the motivation!
Can you teach how to determine bass trap dimensions and materials based on the frequency range you want to cut off the room?
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.
Amazon sales wedge pillows for queen-size bed pre made bass traps basically, also keeps my pillows from falling
Great video! What material do you use for absorption?
It's Rockwool. Other materials are such as Fiberglass, Recycled Cotton, Knauf ECOSE, and Sheepwool. etc.
Your videos are incredibly well made. Thank you! I would however like to say that the panels and this bass trap that you showcase are not really deep enough to do any real absorption in the low frequencies. The thicker, the better!
Thanks for your comment! We only used this as an example to show how these are built. 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. Maybe this can actually be another topic for another day to talk about how to treat different types of rooms.
Is there any practical way to do this without a table saw?
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.
How do you attach it on the wall?
Duct tape obviously
9 inch nails
Why do you close the back? Do you not let the back be open to let sound go behind the panel into an open space and then it tries to come back? Like the air gap? I'm asking. Not. Arguing or disagreeing.
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.
yeah great but all this work and waste of materials for something that won't even reach 200hz
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!
Making a fancy jig and clamping the triangular end pieces is a waste of time if you are gluing and screwing. The screws will provide MORE than enough clamping force needed as glue dries
That said, while nice, this design is quite a bit overkill as you don't really need back walls for a corner basstrap - the actual walls of the room will suffice.All this does is take away from the amount of actual acoustic material you can use in the trap given the front face dimension. Quite a bit actually.
lol
so many great craftsman tips, but such a terrible bass trap design. what's that little thing going to do? it might get down to 1500 hz. broadband bass traps are especially terrible for small rooms (your room). look at Helmholtz resonators and find videos from old engineers
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
question, are bass traps not supposed to have an air gap built in? Would it make sense to halve the size of the insulation wedges being placed in these enclosures?
Yeah you're definitely supposed to use your finishing nails or more appropriately brad nails when you are assembling the two corners together. the whole point of the brad nails for finishing nails in your case is to hold the wood together until the glue dries.... 🫣
