If you’ve been following my start-to-finish room treatment series with Graham from MusicCityAcoustics, I’m sure you’ve thought:

“Yeaaaah, that looks great ‘n all… But how well does it work?”

Well today we’re going to find out.

In this video we’ll show you how it all measures up.

Graham took detailed Room EQ Wizard measurements of the entire treatment process.

So we’ll not only show you the before vs after, but how exactly the room response changed with each new piece of treatment installed in the room.

If you’ve ever wondered how well bass traps actually work, this video is for you.
