Studio Sound Treatment

Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2003 8:19 pm

"My purpose here is to help people, not to sell products. And especially since you're so far away I'm glad for you to build your own treatment. But my partner and I went to a lot of trouble and spent a lot of money to develop MiniTraps. So there's no way we'll just give away the design.
Even if you bought a MiniTrap and took it apart, you still wouldn't be able to duplicate its performance because it uses a special membrane material we have custom manufactured just for us."

please don't get me wrong Ethan i know u r here to help n u've been very helpful to me n everyone here. also i have no intention of taking ur minitraps apart. only thing i wanted to know was that the minitraps had that something more than a fiberglass wrapped in nice looking cloth so i can finally decide on the best solution to my room acoustics. i hope i cleared myself up Smile

Thanks,

Hey guys, sorry about the downtime - our server is being transferred to a bigger, stateside one. The site should be up in a few more hours.

Thanks for your patience... Steve

Jackson,

It didn't sound like you were too likely to soffit mounting your speakers seeing that they were choice 3 out of 3 in your list. Here's one more reason not to do that.

Don't JBL LSR 28 P monitors have rear firing ports?

I think that's a no-no for soffit mount speakers.

You're right. I've abandoned that idea, and my rear-firing-ported monitors will stay on their stands. That's the first I've heard of rear-firing ports being a problem for soffit mounting, but then again I haven't investigated the technique very thoroughly yet. I won't doubt it for that reason.

Reading that soffiting is a bear to get right almost immediately turned me away from the idea.

Here's a working link to a studio with LSR 28p's soffited - read the comments, then PM sjoko from the homerecording bbs if you want more info. You may just change your mind back again if you do...

The Homerecording bbs is here -

you should be able to PM sjoko after joining the board - I think it would be worth your time to check it out further, but of course it's up to you... Steve

Thanks again, Steve. Right when I think I'm off it, I hear something good about how to soffit (hehe, ok that was bad).

I'll dig in when I have more time.

Sooo, it would be perfect if you had a very large shoe size - old saying;

You're a poet and don't know it - your feet show it - they're "Long fellows"... (hehehehehehe...)
