Part I: Building Broadband Absorber Panels<\/p>\n

Background:<\/p>\n

After reading Ethan Winer\u2019s articles and information from Auralex Acoustics, RPG , Jon Risch\u2019s great DIY site and the enlightening Ethan Winer: Acoustics Forum at Music Player Network, I decided to build a modified version of the 703 2\u2019x4\u2019x4\u201d panel bass traps and then two “Super Chunk” Corner Bass Traps. Initially for the panel traps I planned to build a wooden frame as others have done.<\/p>\n

But after reading Ethan\u2019s \u201cReal Traps – Measuring Absorption and the Numbers Game\u201d article I decided to attempt a design more resembling the Real Traps frame. My goals were to build a light yet strong frame and to simultaineously maximize the amount of absorption on the 4\u201d sides of the trap by not using a solid wood frame. Of course at a DIY project I also wanted to to build the traps as cheaply as possible.<\/p>\n
