may gumawa na ba ng QRD diffusors dito sa tin?

siguro naghahanap lang ako ng inspirasyon. kailangan ko pa naman ng 2 to 4 4x2 feet panels nun

We have been making QRD panels based on the 704 Schroeder model for a long time already.  All the studios and home theaters I have made and make have these.  I have also done 3 D diffuser panels.  My carpenters do them well.  I make the 8 inchers.  Matrabaho lang nga kaya mahal.

Mga Sirs I need someone to take a look at a room na gusto namin gawing studio and papa-quote narin kami kung how much aabutin.

Simpleng rehearsal studio lang. Ready built na yung room with concrete walls.

Gusto ko lang mag consult kung ano magandang ipatong sa walls and ceilings para ma minize yung lumalabas na sound.

Salamat ng marami  :-D

Sir mikep do you do home service work for acoustical treatment? I have to have my room checked professionally and to be treated professionally also in terms of the acoustic treatment.. Ayoko rin sana gumastos on something I would do na I'm not sure of what will be the outcome so we've decided to ask for professional help for a residential home lang :) hit me a pm for details if ever you see this message thanks

@peeves!

i asked my brother, who supplies and sets up audiophile equipment (epoy of architectural audio). as it turns out, his QRD supplier is sir mikep, who has also built some of the home theaters of my brother's customers.

i have also contemplated a QRD DIY some time ago, and have done plenty of research. from a build perspective, 3D diffusors seem easier; more pieces but easier router-less cuts, and can be made from widely available materials. 2"x2" is easier to find than 3"x1/4", which is what i think 2D QRD minimally needs. i do not want to use 1/4" plywood because that tends to warp and, well, it looks like plywood. even if you can find 3"x1" wood, you'd have to plane it plenty to get it between 1/4" and 1/2" thickness. i thought about planing a wood moulding panel, but that isn't effort-free either. also, a good 2D QRD probably requires dado and rabbet joints, which requires more skill than 3D diffusors, which only requires "cut and paste". :)

heck, it is probably easier to build a helmholz resonator than a 2D QRD! :) much easier in the u.s. too, where you can source a wide variety of wood and dimensions.

let me know how you DIY goes. i will probably build a 3D diffusor for the ceiling, between the monitors and my sweet spot. then i'll ask you to buld my 2Ds. ;)

That won't help.

You need MASS. Make your door THICKER. Adding a layer of PLYWOOD or MDF will help.

Egg trays, the egg tray we know now, are not really isolation or acoustic materials.  It will definitely not stop sound.  What you need is mass, i. e., CHB filled or sandwiched gypsum board wall partitions.  After stopping the sound from seeping through, you need to tame the frequency response of your room, which is another story altogether.  What you need to do now is start from square one.  Sorry.  Go over the net and research on how to soundproof a room and how to undertake acoustic treatment.  Lots of them there.

Do carpets really help in controlling reflections? Or is it enough that I put absorption on the ceiling?

Man. I wish there was an easy and cheap way to do all the math required in tuning your room. Hanggang early reflections palang nati-treat ko e...and medyo trial and error with regards to the bass.

Carpet has a different absorption coefficient than 1" or 2" glass fiber.  To tame the rooms sound, you have to use a combination of all of these.  The math will show you what you need in terms of what material to use as absorbers, reflectors and diffusers.

hi sir mike. yeah i think i really want my room analyzed. would you know of anyone i can contact, besides yourself, to do just that?

also, how do acousticians charge? for consulting for instance?

There is Dar Quintos of International Audio & Acoustics or Jiggs Hermano of Acoustics Analysis.  I don't know how much they charge but you can be sure that their analysis is correct.  There are some that offer similar services but I would go for these two guys.  They know what they're doing (they know the math) and have the necessary equipment to do it properly - not just an SPL meter that you are not even sure if it is properly calibrated..
