Room treatments

Hi,

Could someone help by explaining in real simple terms what corner bass traps, absorption panels and diffusers do? Or could point me to any online resource that can help me out with a simple guide to what they are designed to do.

I've absolutely no connection with any of these - just culled a few links from google! The first one has lots of diagrams to show what is going on and how to stop it!

Hope this helps.

I have used these for a huge amount of information in just what you are looking for

Have a look at the acoustic forum :-
http://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/postlist/Board/24/page/1

Which will have a ton more info for you

but this page would be the best of all to start with - a fairly exhaustive explanation as to what's what.

Thanks for the replies - very helpful. I have a lot to learn!

Monty,
Yup, but once learnt, you then need to do a whole load of research on how to put it into practice - hence the link to the forum - a very useful place for information. Hardest part I have so far come across is how to make them acceptable in the environment where they are needed.

These will help you with that aspect

Hope thats not to much information, but you can guess what I've been upto for the past few months.
