a zombie · 16th November 2009

I'm building some absorption panels above above my mixing position to stop reflections off the ceiling, and i'm trying to determine whether i should use 1" of 703 with a 1.5" airspace (spaced out with a 2x2) or whether i should use 2" of absorption with a 1.5" airspace.

Or maybe i should go all around thicker with say 2.5" airspace and 2" of 703

How important is absorbing lower frequencies at initial reflection points?

My mixing desk is against a wall, how effective would the 4.5" absorber be at trapping bass if it was in the wall/ceiling corner that is in front of me above my desk?

Im fairly new to this but I've been doing tons of research trying to design a good setup to do my final mixes in

Thanks!
