If you're willing to drive to Connecticut to pick them up
Thanks, but Connecticut was a long drive when I was living in NYC or Boston; from LA it might as well be Mars. The 6 months I lived in Groton were the longest year of my life...
Seriously, what made them "experimental"? Would you be willing to post the plans for these traps?
My gut feeling is it will not be as broadband as thick dense rigid fiberglass mounted straddling the corner.
So, you are suggesting that I place the 703/705 boards in the corner all by themselves, with nothing but an acoustically transparent fabric cover (to catch the loose fibers and make them somewhat presentable)? When you say "mounted" I'm guessing that you mean that I can't just stand the board up in the corner, it must be firmly mounted in place - correct? Please explain whether the board needs to be caulked in place or just leaned up against the wall (or some third method?)
Why do you believe that the bare rigid insulation will be better than the corner trap? Is this based on experience with a similar situation, mathematical modelling or ??? Its not that I don't believe you or that I'm questioning your position regarding the matter, I'm just curious what led you to this point of view. (Most of us just read the same handful of books that all include that same sketch of the corner panel absorber and the associated text describing it as an ideal broadband absorber for low frequencies.)
Thanks.
