The Importance of Placement of Auralex® Acoustical Products

[mr4y]

If you have a square room, it has to be anechoic, otherwise you'll never be able to treat it properly. Square rooms have the same modes in every direction, which makes impossible to treat properly.

Those T defusers are ugly

[seifs4]

how would it sound, using auralex foam for the entire recording area?

[AuralexAcoustics]

@seifs4 The rooms that require the most Studiofoam coverage are spaces such as recording booths. The more coverage in your room, the more dead your sound. To find out how much coverage you need, you can use our Interactive Kit Calculator (IKC) or fill out a Personalized Room Analysis (PRAF) for a detailed explanation from our Application Specialists.

@AuralexAcoustics im from canada, is there a canadian site that will work?

[AuralexAcoustics]

@seifs4 On our main web page there is a dealer tab in the navigation. From there you can access the entire list of Auralex Canadia dealers.

I am building my home studio,i used Rock wool in the wodenFrames and covered the frame with a woden thin ply which has holes but i was not sucess full to reduce the echo in the room,but when i remove the woden ply it does absorbs the sound well,what should i use insted of the ply? i spent a lot the the ply tho!!

i am kinda disapointed...

[AuralexAcoustics]

@desiguy118, The rock wool material can add mass between surfaces to tame some of the sound transmission between your room and neighboring spaces. We offer a Free Personalized Room Analysis to help provide treatment suggestions for your room that can help control the reflections you have mentioned. Feel free to visit our website and fill our PRAF for more information.

would it be best to put auralex in the corner of a room w/ the mic next to it mic or all 4 walls w/ the mic in the middle?

[chaparganju]

I hate that zap sound playing between lol!!!

[drummingtrumpeteer69]

hey Im moving, and the room i have chosen for my studio has windows... would setting up infront of the windows be a bad idea for the acoustic treatment process?

[AuralexAcoustics]

@drummingtrumpeteer69 It depends on the overall layout of the room. If you would like a Free Personalized Room Analysis, visit our Auralex.com to fill out a form along with a sketch of your room, and one of our Applications Specialists will be happy to provide treatment suggestions for your space.

[JevonsLiu]

if i want to soundproof a room, do i just put those all across the wall? no space in between?

[VerseIsStyle]

@JevonsLiu you can't really get a soundproof room w.o a booth cus even if you put auralex all around the room people can still hear you outside.

[VerseIsStyle]

what about just the inside of a booth?

[AuralexAcoustics]

@VerseIsStyle Treatment suggestions may vary depending upon the intended application of the room. We offer a Free Personalized Room Analysis that can help with treatment suggestions for many types of rooms. Visit Auralex.com and click on Free Personalized Room Analysis for more information.

i didnt know martin sheen worked for auralex lol

[MightySaturn5]

its sad that in this day and age this dude traps bass -this is clearly bass abuse

[xxdanger06xx]

how did you mount your panels on the wall, and then remove them without any damage to wall?

[guitarsbunch347]

@xxdanger06xx auralex has some stuff that u can spray on so its sticky but essentialy not glue, its not tubetak, but its called foamtak

[silenticon]

Thanks for this Vid!!!

[greg0716]

what if my monitors are turned inwards a bit more? do i put treatment between or behind each one?

[zaigex]

@greg0716 I don't think you need a panel behind your speakers. I'm basing this off this video I watched:

look for "How to Set Up and Treat a Listening Room" by ethanwiner on youtube

the person there sounds like he has more experience

[zaigex]

@zaigex well I guess you would have to take care of the wall accross the monitors first.

[natea792]

@thetalkinghead1 you're completely right. The only frequencies that really are omnidirectional are about 200 Hz and lower, I believe. So bass trapping would be more important. Covering with that foam does very little for diffusion and bass trapping, It's mostly absorption, so the mirror spots are where you want to absorb to reduce flutter echo. If anybody wants to learn correct info about this, check out Ethan Winer's channel and web page, realtraps This is more prosumer room treatment

[natea792]

and when i said realtraps, i mean realtraps then dot com, but they won't let me write that in a post

[thetalkinghead1]

this video is completely WRONG. what i am referring to is you saying that the first and most important step is to put a thin foam panel behind the speakers. the higher the frequency, the more directional it is! those 2" thick foam panels are only capable of absorbing high frequencies. high frequencies are shooting straight out of the tweeters! if anything, you should have a ton of bass traps on that wall because lower frequencies are omnidirectional! SO MISLEADING!!!

[VFXProductions]

This video is very informative, but I couldn't help thinking, that usually studio monitors would be facing the engineer... at an angle to form a triangle, unlike the zero degree angle the monitors in your video are facing, so my question is, would it not be more effective to have two smaller pieces of foam behind each monitor, because the triangular angle will have the backs of both monitors angleing away from the foam if it were placed in the centre like 6:50?

Hi Terry!
