Thanks for the replys. I knew I wasn't gonna get diffusion from this... I guess I should've explained better. I have a large room 25x30 all brick with plaster, in one corner I'm building a room. The two existing (brick, exterior) walls will get the styrofoam for heat and moisture reasons, not sound....

Styrofoam would go behind the studs on the brick/plaster wall for possible condensation reasons as one is an exterior wall, regular insulation between studs, maybe cover with fabric, then apply 1x8's.

I was thinking along the lines of a slotted trap only a whole wall. Maybe?

1x8's instead of drywall?

I'm gonna build an iso room for guitars and amps, and I want to use some wood instead of drywall. Mostly for aesthetic reasons, but if I can get some acoustic benefit as well.... Quick rundown of the room: Large room is 25'x 30'x 12'H. Iso will be roughly 13'W, 17'L, 12'H in one corner of the room. ...

I've had great results with an MS pair. The mid was a SDC pointed on axis with the front cabinet, about 2-3 feet away. Side was a ribbon. Ended up filtering out below 120hz on the ribbon. In the mix you can lean more on the sdc when you want the part to stand out, more to the ribbon when you want to...

Blue Mouse vs. Neumann TLM 193

I'm looking for a great LDC. I've been researching and comparing what I can get for less than 1k, and I want a different color than what I have, more of a "wow" sound. Uses would be mainly vocal and the occaisonal piano/overhead/upright bass. I've been using mainly a modded Apex 460 tube mic and an ...

Well I've had offers hovering in the $50 dollar range, and while that's not bad, I think I'll just keep tinkering with it for now.
Unless I get an interesting trade offer.

My pzm is not the soundgrabber Crown, or a Radio Shack. Will this modified supply work for my mic?

Crown PZM mic transformer

I have two crown PZM mics, and they're supposed to have a 48 to 18 volt inline transformer. One mic came with the appropriate box and it works well, but I can't seem to find another. So.... I'm gonna build one. I'm thinking I'll use the outlet box idea from the tapeop omni, a couple panel mount xlr ...

Cheap large format console....Ramsa?

I've been really happy with a Ramsa wrs4424. The preamps are very good, eq is usable, and the routing is perfect for me with direct outs on every channel and what not. I've got a few channels of outboard pres for different color, and I can mult them direct to record and into the ramsa which is my mo...

Pretty sure the capsule is blown. I checked the xlr connector, bypassed the low cut filter, even alligator clipped a connector onto the wires straight from the capsule and no matter what I get an extremely weak signal. I still haven't received an email reply from sennheiser about replacement capsule...
