DIY Bass Trap

Post by Shaz »

I found this while searching for bass traps. Can someone comment if this would work as a good bass trap?

Better than nothing, but not as good as either a panel type trap or a diagonal placement of 3 or 4" rigid fiberglass across the room corners - still, probably a handy thing to have a few of these in your studio to play around with... Steve

Thanks Steve. Do you, or anyone else, know where I can find some pictures of a DIY corner bass trap? All I have been able to find are diagrams of how to make one, but some pictures would really help me decide what would look nice in my room.

I'll be building one within a couple weeks if you can wait that long.

Sure I can wait. My contractor is MIA right now, so the work on my studio hasn't started yet. :?

It will be a few weeks before I get to build the bass traps and stuff.
