Another great video!! You just have a way of explaining this stuff to help me better understand what I need to do regarding my home theater set up. Because of your delivery on this subject, I went to GIK’s website and pulled the plug on 8 Impression series acoustic panels. Thank you, your friendly San Antonio, TX subscriber.
Even though I have quite a bit of absorption/diffusion within my small 13 x 11.5 living room, I was still able to pick up on the resonances coming from the corners. Given the fact that I already used GIK absorption/diffusion panel, I was going to go ahead and purchase their corner bass traps, too. However, considering I had already replaced my two interior doors with black velvet curtain drapes actually made the decision easier for me then rather going with Corner bass traps, why not try doubling up on the velvet curtain drapes first. I can remember watching a video where the g i k CEO stated that if you're going to use fabric material to absorb bass, one has to at least try to go thick! Couldn't believe it actually worked, though 🥳
Very knowledgeable content brother, love it? I got six of these in my man cave you're definitely right these definitely diffuse and distribute sound but most importantly it keeps my and my and my friends loud mouths from annoying my wife. My only question: if and when I decide to upgrade my speakers and my receiver allows me to test my room with a setup microphone... should I take the paneling down first or should I leave it up?
@mattgiunt stud isn't necessary. They give you two sets of those teeth for bottom and top of the panel so the weight load is shared. I'm actually hanging all of mine with one. I think mine are just over 15 pounds
Being able to hear a little bit of Echo is actually a good sign. Perhaps it shows the scatter plates might actually be doing their job. Certainly wouldn't want to over dumping ones room.. it's about trying to keep it lifelike, not lifeless!
Funny, Nice panels.. But i'm Old Skool. In my theater i use Good Old egg trays from my wife. She buys the 5 doz eggs that come with 2 trays. They are 12x12 trays and are jus as effective. And the cost FREE.99 & No Tax😂😂I've seen Ppl spend up to $1k on jus One panel and the brought like 20 of them. But that theater was over $500k so whatever.. ErrrBody has their own budget.. So, Turn it Up!!
@@crxdave You need to do some research if you think they CAN'T be effective. Everyone is quick to throw money at something that minutely moves the measurement readings in either direction, when the ear test discerns little to nothing. If you dolled out money only to "think" you hear a difference, more than likely you wasted your money.
#1 room improvement. ... This is really needed.

@@Antibackgroundnoise i definitely want to use some sort of fabric in the back of the door. Especially since the door is in the corner

@@corymollak2093 leave everything up. Leave everything how the room will be when watching something
Hey my guy K
What kinda subwoofers you rocking now for your home theater?
Rythmik G25HP
You forgot to put the link in the description, chief.
@@SupraManG I gotcha right now!
Hi k, hoping to get the bass trap one's, will it help from leaking bass into next room?
@@henryconga58 a little bit
What is you current setup? Is it 5.*.4 or 7.*.4? You space between couch and wall similar to mine.
@@mzaentertainment5618 7.3.4
How heavy are those panels? Do you need to put hanging device into a room stud?

@@Kpaceguy thanks
funny, you can hear the room echo on the microphone when using good audio or headphones. lol
@TheObserver567 Yep, still more to do lol. Need 2 more in the back. It's more so because of the door being open.

Need to do some research if you actually think they are “just as effective“
