Acoustic treatment: Superchunks, square chunks and BroadBand absorvers pics inside

[acappa]

Hello!!!
FOA thanks so much all of you for helping me when I needed it finding a way to treat my control&recording room!!
Let´s go. I hired a local over my neighbourhood and started to prepared it to be my recording studio. I had to build new walls, put doors, floating floor and ceiling and did a complete insulation&soundproofing of the rooms. Once they finished and with the room empty I played a bunch of songs I´m tired to listen to see how it sounded.
Surprise! No low end problem, as it´s a room in a room there´s some space between the new walls with the original ones, so there´s a good absorption in those frequencies, but I found a big hi-mid reverb time when playing the song and found the room very lively too.
So I started gathering info (thanks Jarkko!) and voilá!

Superchunks bass traps (not quite big, as I don´t want to kill the bass 100%) 30x30x43 cm




These are a variation I saw on gearslutz, it´s a square version made with parts bought in IKEA, price of each is 45€ and they work pretty good and is easy to assemble!



These are standar broadband absorvers, the structure is made with parts from IKEA and costed me 10€ each! (rockwool 211 4cm inside two units)



So if any of you are interested in a more indepth info just ask as I have my knowledge pretty fresh now
Cheers!

I would love to find out how you did the frame for the superchunks! That's whats stumping me at the moment.

Well, I copied from Jarkko, visit his webside to see a more professional chunk.
Mine is just two cheap wood frames/molding, cut to the height of the room and then 3 more covering horizontaly the first two, nailed with thin nails.
Once the structure is assembled, you start stapling the fabric from behind so when you see it frontally (if the word exits) you do not see the staples.
Then start putting the rockwool triangles on the corner and once you reach the ceiling zass, you cover with the wood frame, and that´s it. For what I see, the one Jarkko did looks more solid than mine, like he´s used a higher quality wood.
If you need further info, just ask mate!
I will put more pics later on

looks nice!
is the frame for the super-chunk fixed with screws or something to be stable? or is it just standing on the rockwool?

thanks!

I want to do the superchunk thing so bad, but I literally only have 2 corners that I could do it on (fucking wonky room).

Hey! Show some respect to my girlfriend...
But yeah, may be I should ask her to appear in underwear in all my pics, that way my topic would be one the biggest hehehehehe.

They´re standing on the wool because I measured not very accurate and the pressure of floor&ceiling make it stands. But at first time I put an angle screw with the idea of fixing it to the ceiling.

Thanks man! Today I put the cloud over my head and some side and front absorvers, I will see tomorrow how it sounds, I will let you know!
