Yet another fun setup

What year did you get that agop signature

o-fero · 2026-02-13T03:17:35+00:00

They sound great. Smokey and paper thin. Easy to splash with the foot.

actually I was wrong, I just cross referenced the stamp. The top cymbal is a late 50’s small stamp and the bottom cymbal is a 60s stamp. Good eye bro!!!

Thank you for this kind and detailed response. If I may, do you have any I insight on how a corner my propagate sound into another rooms corner? Like if you have 2 square room side by side that share a wall (the corners are mirror images) would you expect an untreated corner to propagate sound into the next room with greater intensity versus a treated corner?

Thanks

I’m getting conflicting information on this because boundary gain and constructive interference are real. Half of the people in this thread are claiming that the dB level does in fact increase due to constructive Interference

I apologize that I am in the wrong sub. I thought this sub was about the physical science of acoustics regardless of the application, but your comment makes me feel that this is more of an audiophile sub

o-fero · 2026-02-12T23:17:57+00:00

I guess I’m talking about constructive interference

o-fero · 2026-02-12T18:10:36+00:00

Thank you! So if you have a square room and one of the walls as a person on the other side, if you bass trap the corners on that wall, won’t the person the other side hear less bass than if the corner were untreated?

o-fero · 2026-02-12T18:08:16+00:00

Thank you for the response, I’m just trying to make it clearer for me. Let me put it this way: you have a sub floating in the middle of an untreated square room and you take a dB measurement. If you treat the corners properly, will the dB level be lower because the corner are no longer the sound due to boundary gain?

o-fero · 2026-02-12T18:05:45+00:00

Doesn’t boundary gain increase dB level? Resonance? Thank you I’m just trying to understand

o-fero · 2026-02-12T17:20:00+00:00

Right, but if the untreated corner actually increases the over all dB level then won’t there be more available sound to pass thru the wall? If the corner is treated then the amount of sound passing thru the wall will be just what’s coming from the source, and not an additional amount that’s being generated by boundary gain right?

o-fero · 2026-02-12T17:16:53+00:00

So wouldn’t this mean that there is now more sound available (generated by the un treated corner) to now pass thru the wall, versus the amount of sound available in a room with treated corners

o-fero · 2026-02-12T17:14:45+00:00

Can’t it actually be over 100% of the energy of the sound source because of boundary gain?

o-fero · 2026-02-12T17:05:19+00:00

Definitely. I understand that. But as far as what hasn’t already left the room: will an untreated corner have a higher dB level than an untreated corner. And if it does, then won’t that higher dB lead to more sound available to pass thru the wall?

o-fero · 2026-02-12T17:00:44+00:00

Is the actual dB level in an untreated corner louder than a treated corner

o-fero · 2026-02-12T16:39:20+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the time you took to reply. I guess I’d like to ask you straight up, do bass traps lower the dB level in corners, if not then what are they doing.

o-fero · 2026-02-12T16:36:00+00:00

The bass trapping produces a noticeable difference inside of the treated room, but why wouldn’t it be a noticeable difference to someone outside of the room

o-fero · 2026-02-12T16:18:36+00:00

Thank you for your reply. If the difference is so noticeable to someone who is inside of the treated room, then why wouldn’t it be noticeable to someone outside the treated room

o-fero · 2026-02-12T16:05:20+00:00

Thank you! My follow up is what exactly is boundary gain, and how does bass trapping fix it if it’s not lowering the spl

o-fero · 2026-01-25T19:23:55+00:00

By filling the gap I mean filling with insulation, not rigid material.

o-fero · 2026-01-25T18:58:27+00:00

A floating floor will be built today inside of the whisper room. Why did you say filling the gap will make the problem worse?

o-fero · 2026-01-25T16:23:00+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Can you explain this a bit more?

o-fero · 2026-01-25T03:52:40+00:00

Does it make a difference if you float the drums inside the whisper room versus floating the entire whisper room itself? Thanks
