We installed Acoustic Fields 6xACDA10,2XACDA12 absorbers and custom made 3xQRD17 diffusers with ACDA12 basses and our control room never sounded so good, been doing it here for 25years,do yourself a favor and contact Dennis that will be the best investment you will ever make for your business.

Hey Dennis, assuming that the plans are obviously NOT blue prints, do they come with math formulas to calculate the required dimensions, density etcetc so that we can layout and build the most effective/suitable BDAs to our needs? Thanks!
I would love your take on golden ratio / Bucky Fuller dome built studios. Especially working in Northwestern Pine for the blank canvas room if you will.
Hi Dennis i'm just about to build your BDAs, but it the instructions call for Alder, Basswood and MDF and doesn't specify which wood is for which panel. The cut sheet lists the two front panels as "MDF" so i assumed your cabinet must be the alder or basswood? But in this video here you're saying the cabinet the MDF... Please clarify.

Hi! If I build the BDA-s the standard height 57", is it wise to raise them up from the floor a little to get more absorption above ear level, or not. Thank You.
Hi, I bought the Bass absorber plans and there is 15 mm mdf used as one of the front walls. I didn't find 15 mm mdf in my area, can I use 16 mm instead? Or 12 mm - that is closer to the imperial variant 1/2 inch.

you do great pedagogical work. thanks for this and many ther vids I looked. I understand now MORE!
J, Thank you for your support and following.

M, All the calculations have been done for you. You build per our drawings.

J, I am not familiar with this design. That said all small audio rooms need low frequency management. of some type, amount, and position.

Use 1" MDF for the cabinet. Use MDF for the two front walls.
What is the fill material used in these? Would I be able to source the internal fill material here in the uk?
Yes, we manufacture our technology in the states and London. Contact us at info@acousticfields.com for details.
@@AcousticFields Great! How much foam is required per unit, what would the cost of the fill material be roughly per unit?

I have issues at 500hz also. Is their a way to extend the range up to 500 Hz?
Our foam and carbon units extend to 6,300 hz. which is the range mix engineers work within.
Hi! If I build the BDA-s the standard height 57", is it wise to raise them up from the floor a little to get more absorption above ear level, or not. Thank You.
V, You can build them any height or width. Standard production units are 60" high.
Is it the cabinet sealed by the wall diaphgrams? Is the air inside actin acting like damping material?Thanks. Giuseppe from Italy.
Hi B, Yes, the unit is sealed. We are working with sound pressure not air flow.

V, Yes 16 mm is fine.
Good Vid Dennis, but why 30Hz and not 27.5 Hz (Low "A") ?
S, Going into the 20's increases cabinet depth another 4". With cabinet depths at 14" all ready to get into the 30's, we didn't see the need.
@@AcousticFields Cheers !

"You're not going to be using carbon in the BDA."
What if I buy carbon pellets online?
D, Over the counter carbons used for water and air filtration will not work for sound absorption.
@@AcousticFields
How about activated carbon fibers?
D, No, you must control three variables: porosity size and count along with granule density.

I might sound "coocoo" and "nuts" but does the production of this item have anything to do with palm trees?
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Not to my knowledge. We use coal-based raw materials.
