| My side panels don't make that much difference - too dense?
Hi
A couple of months ago i built 2 of the absorbers using ikea frames like in the shaman thread sticky'd at the top (i posted a pic in that thread). I used some dense fibreglass from wickes (UK),it's about 1.5-2inches per slab, and they're placed either side of my head at the monitoring position, between me and the speaker (although i sit quite close).
Is it possible that this dense material might be great for bass trapping, but not so amazing for absorbing the highs?
I should point out that they have the cardboard backs on them, but not placed flush against the wall.
I don't feel like they're really doing what i 'wanted'. One on side i have a double glazed window, and a glass markerboard on the other, so it was a nightmare before. Because of this, i was expecting a shocking difference, but i did not get one. Stereo imaging improved though.
Are these traps not 'right' for the purpose i'm using them for? I didn't get the other (cheaper) fibreglass, because it looked too soft and would be 'saggy', and i just wanted to buy the 'best'.
Any advice, or is it fine as it is?
