Some more Acoustic Science Development for the studio. Meaning more acoustic treatment porn! Raw implementation, unreserved customization, and some down right nasty DYI.
So I will be updating from the last post some progress on those projects, some new projects in development, and some more steamin Hot tool toys!

 Last time I showed this custom brown stained diffuser on the right here. If you look closely, u can see the back is now attached with a 5 inch broadband OC 903 bass trap and the brackets attached that will mount this diffuser stack on the right.  Just two better pics of the grid style diffusers I sanded stained and lacquered, attached to the ceiling cloud above the drum kit.  OK so I got a nice deal on 6 2ftx2ft Auralex Q-fusers. They are nicer than I thought, but still the price is ridiculous!! I will be priming, painting, and lacquering for looks but also for adding rigidity to optimize diffusion. Still debating nesting them in arrays in stained wood frames. I probably will. These are nice and light so hanging is not an issue. |  SO this is a customized diffuser stack. It is Two RPG diffusers mounted in a custom frame and on the back will go broadband Roxul traps. The custom frame employs additional periods to the quadratic array. Total this monster will cover the small wall and measures approx. 32 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 96 inches tall. It has stabilizing legs and additionally will be attached to the wall with aircraft steel line into a heavy duty steel eyelet.  |
OK so given the cost of the nice RPG skyline diffusers and the poor quality and workmanship of many other commercially available acoustic treatments, I have been building custom treatments for some time and have been taking steps to add custom acoustic treatments as an public offering. I would never state that I am an expert in acoustic science, but my science background does provide me with the ability to understand and integrate many of the tried and proven models and designs aimed at providing effective acoustic treatment integration. I have custom built over 100 broadband bass traps and various panels, diffusers, sound clouds, gobos, etc....All either comparable or exceeding the quality of what is commercially available. So, I will be showing a lot of new in house DYI custom built projects along the way!
 This was the beginnings of building four 18x18 skyline diffusers. These are some of the raw 2x2 boards that were cut down from 8 ft. I think I used 26 of them. |  This is less than half of the cut pieces for the skylines. I think this is 280+ cuts. I will be leveling and sanding each and debating doing a little primer and paint on the tips or leave it raw but sanded well or paint the whole unit. We will see! |
 So these pics are the wood to become 4 monster 4ftx2ft by 10 inches deep!! Excited for these. This is 15 1/2inchx8ftx10 inches MDF Will be cut, sanded, primed, sanded, drywall compound on the edges, sanded again, painted, and maybe lacquered. These will be the fins |  Bigger than they look 10x1x10 ft. Select Pine/Spruce. Will be the outer frame, sanded, stained and poly. |  smaller cut pine |
 This is the foundation for 5ftx2ft rolling GOBO. Keep an eye out for updates. It will get filled out quick!!!!  Hi Velocity Power Drill. Will be used for 1/2 inch drill holes for some upcoming HARDCORE "BAD" binary diffusion panels. Check back as these are wayyy cool! |  Backside of a 7 ft long 1.5 ft wide 8 inch thick broadband trap for above the piano!!! Aircraft steel wire being attached. Built by Acousitech in NH but I customized it further. OK so next are some pics of some new tool toys!!!!  Ahhhh Virgin Dual disc/band sander!!!  Heavy duty reciprocating saw. |
CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES, COMPLETED PROJECTS, and Steamy Acoustic pics!!!
