Experience with RealTraps or RPG?

[tboooe]

Hi there group! I am seroiusly considering adding some minor room treatments. I am looking at the Realtraps Minitraps to tame the bass of my 802D a bit. According to their website, their traps have really good absorption coeffecients especially in the bass region. Actually, their numbers are the best I have seen advertised.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have no first hand experience with realtraps. But the person who owns the company, Ethan, has been very helpful to many people on various room treatment threads.
He helped me with my DIY solution, and seemed happy to do it. It made a tremendous improvement in my room acoustics. He has
done the same for many other people. I can only assume that he makes
a good product, and, will provide great support. You could email him and ask about your situation, likely he will have very good advise.

My dad has N802s and just purchased a room full of RealTraps. He says they are amazing (he had a full EchoBusters and ASC tube trap assortment before).

He said the room not only sounds better, but the build quality is outstanding.

I haven't seen or heard the system myself though since he got them.

You could always buy 4" thick Mineral Fiber equivalents, wrap them in burlap and glue them to the walls.

That is what I did - 5" thick though (rigid fiberglass) and I hung them rather than glued them :lol:

Did the 5" thick panels you made help? Where do you get this kind of material?

I got my fiberglass from one of the local HVAC outfits. A case (6, 1" sheets - 4'x10') was $130 or something...it will probably cost you a little bit more.
