    RPG Modex Plates-"Free" Bass Traps

    Just to add to the thread, here are a couple of pictures of the Modex Plates I installed in my room. Of course you can also see a boatload of RealTraps as well.

    That I do... understanding REW... not so much. :D (but I'm working on it) Frankly, I did not use REW when determining where to place the Bass Traps. I used 3 different bass test tones and a Sound Level Meter to determine which traps and where. Also, I believe the graphs show clearly that...

    Addressing a Null

    I believe it is known as a 'House Curve'. And yes, listening now, I prefer it to the way the system previously sounded. It may be interesting to note, that I had to indeed turn the volume DOWN on the woofer amps after installing the Modex Plates and RealTraps, and yet the low end is still...

    The only other thing that has change is the speaker cables. But there is a whole butt-load of treatments that have been added between the two graphs. One thing; all though the bass is graduated higher in the blue, I actually had to turn the bass down to this level, from the other, after adding...

    Yeah, I'm not sure why there is such a difference. REW doesn't seem to have a way to overlap the two graphs that I can see, post measurement. But here is the adjusted graph:

    Is this more correct? The Top Graph is after Treatment

    Also, here are the waterfalls from the two measurements: Levels are the same in both measurements, other than the amplifier in the speakers had to be adjusted after placing all of the traps. So I don't have an explanation for the overall level difference (other than I don't really know what...

    Addressing a Null

    Hi Everyone. As others have mentioned, Room Nulls are tough to deal with. For two-channel, I don't care for external subs, and I'm not too fond of sitting off-center of the room (side-to-side). So I elected to address the problem with treatment. Below is a picture of the treatments on the...

    RPG economics

    I see. I'm surprised you are having that much trouble at the back of the room with all of the angles, shelves, and built-in little cubic juts. Just a thought; Have you considered the highly reflective leather sofa causing you some issues? I was using some all leather theater seating a...

    Ah... okay. Out of curiousity, where in the room is it considered normal placement for these screens? I'm not really familiar with them at all. On the surface (no pun intended), it appears you have to be careful to not over-damp with these devices.

    Not really sure why it is strange they charge an extra $100 for shipping. It's been my experience that when it comes to acoustical room treatments, the customer always has to pay shipping. And shipping quantities of large, heavy, room treatments, is not exactly cheap!

    Hollow Quadratic Diffusor

    LOL! I know what you mean... obviously I'm not an expert either. I have had them hung up for years, without thinking about putting anything inside of them. It only occured to me when I was having to move one to a different location.

    Hollow Quadratic Diffusor

    I can't find where RPG advises NOT to do it either. They don't appear to address it either way. So is it possible you are working on a false assumption?

    Hollow Quadratic Diffusor

    Ah, okay. But, I didn't have any Roxul bat insulation (also, I don't know what that is... ;)). Basically, I cut the 1" rigid fiberglass to fit into the individual wells from the back. But, in the future, it would be easy enough to use something else, if it would provide more benefit.

    Hollow Quadratic Diffusor

    Yeah, that was sort of my thinking as well Ethan. Plus, the price is right, since I already had the rigid fiberglass.
