Home made treatment to reduce Bass bloom or resonance in a room?
Hi All,
Has anyone constructed their own panels or treatments for certain areas of the listening room or living room?
I like to listen to my audio system at higher levels; to let the music open up.
I have JBL Studio 230 speakers with a single rear port in each.
I have a problem with Low freq. blooms or resonance; especially on one side of the room.
The walls: painted drywall (sheetrock).
Floor: ceramic tile.
Even with the JBL's six feet from the wall;
I still have the same issue.
It seems like it's just coming from the wall and corner behind the A/V equipment.
I would purchase room treatment or devices if I knew they would work.
If I build my own; it wouldn't be a bad loss if they do not work.
Any input would be greatly appreciated

Years ago I made a set of tube and bass traps for a friend. I purchased a book in the early 90’s which I believe is The Masters Handbook of Acoustics. I don’t remember the cover but pretty sure this is the book. Great book which showed how to build traps and many other projects as well. https://www.amazon.com/Master-Handbook-Acoustics-Sixth-Everest/dp/0071841040/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=... Here’s a site I found in minutes that is pretty close to what I built that worked great and didn’t have a lot in them. Real easy project. https://www.teresaudio.com/haven/traps/traps.html |
I suggest you engage the services of a professional acoustician. The reason is, this is the sort of endeavor where knowledge and expertise will make far more of a difference than how much money you can throw at the problem. I have largely stopped giving out armchair-quarterbacking advice on room acoustic treatments after having heard the kind of results a professional can get. Jeff Hedback of Hedback Designed Acoustics comes to mind. Jeff is an award-winning studio designer who is still affordable. He can tell you how to DIY your own solutions to save money; most of his studio clients are on a budget too. Duke |
