Can you do a video on the difference between the goal/differences of setting up a recording studio vs. a room for listening to music/home theater please. Thanks!
Hey Jesco, I have a question concerning the low cut topic at the beginning of the video. My speakers are flat until I hit the 30 Hz mark. I have a huge null at 24 Hz and a huge peak at about 36 Hz. Now the thing is I can select different cut off filters on the back of the speakers: 24(default), 32, 40… etc. the 24 setting gives me the peak at 36 hz and also a huge peak at 16 hz. The 32 setting on the other hand lowers the 16 peak significantly but the 36 hz peak is still there… Now what’s my question? I can set the cutoff to 40 hz and that makes the room response flat to about 32 Hz (with minimal 36 hz bump and almost nothing below 30 hz) Feels a bit like a cheap trick to set the cutoff to 40 hz… what are your thoughts on that matter? And just to clarify: no matter where I set my filter, because of the 24 Hz null there isn’t much going on below 30 Hz. Except Sub rumble that makes my kitchen inventory sing along Hope that’s totally confusing Grüße aus Dresden
You don't need 5 Avaa's to feel a big differnce in the very low end (27 Hz?). I have 2 Avaa's in the front corners with a Trinnov and almost 2 meters of rockwool in the back and the bass seems to be at least manageable in my 6,5 x 4 metres bunker!
Hi there, I have a similar setup but only 26" rockwool in back, similar in front corners. No AVAAs. I find that the room is a bit too dead now. I'm considering putting slats of cedar across the back wall. Do you use diffusion or anything else to liven things up to sound more natural?
@@ezrashanti Well, random objects like synthesizers do the job concerning random reflections. My room is quite dead indeed but as it is a small room, the instruments and equipment give back some liveness...plus a few cheap and light QRD diffusers on the areas not covered by traps.
Ive used the Bag End E trap in a few rooms Ive designed. The main thing i like about it over the AVAA is that you can tune it to specific frequencies and set the Q value, whereas the AVAA just acts as a broadband absorber. But unfortunately, Bag End doesnt make the E traps anymore seems like
@@Durosai I am reworking my room. Currently have one BagEnd E trap. I'm interested in adding the AAVAs because of the small footprint. Wonder if you can articulate when and where to consider using the AAVA over traditional a more approach.
@@Peter-c5c get the AVAA traps if you need broadband trapping in a physically constrained space and are willing to spend the money. To get the same effect with traditional traps, you need significantly more surface area and volume.
for 20K you can almost get a Kii Three BTX system which will also solve your issues but also solve your monitoring wishes in many other ways too. Even just the Kii tops or the Dutch and Dutch cardioid speakers will do more to improve the direct bass ratio and room modes than 5 AVAAs.
Ehhh kind of but not really. The Kii Three and Dutch Dutch mitigate low frequency radiation behind the speaker and a little bit on the sides of the speaker. But youre still going to have to deal with room modes. Youre still going to get reflection off the rear wall, so the length wise room mode will still be an issue. There is no speaker that is a substitute for trapping.,
Additionally to what others have said, the cardioid effect doesn't go down into the sub frequency range. For that reason I decided to spend more on bass traps and save by not purchasing the Kii's.

Eagerly awaiting your PSI Avaa video, we need a full review from you jesco!
Yes!!!
Anyone noticed that bro kills plant after plant after plant 😂
🤣
he just like me fr
Hi Jesco :) Thanks for all your great content!! its sure teach me a lot. are you planning to do the AVAA Review?
I have 3 AVAA’s. The best part about of them is the space you save vs how much work they do

2 meters of rockwool is the essential part, I guess. ;-)

I know its an old unit but can you test or have you tested a BagEnd Electronic Bass Trap vs the AVAA?

But i agree that the AVAA e traps are insanely expensive
No it will not solve any room mode issue , i would say opposite as they are going down to 20hz , using dd8c with 2 avaas in studio..

@@davidallanmusic but still kii is one of world best sounding compact speaker
