I love the designs done by Shaman. I am just about to make some bass traps and braodband absorbers and I'm definitely going in for the felt option. I have two questions, but to put it into context:
I will be moving house in the next year and dont want to rebuild my panels and bass traps (I will probably have to build more once I have moved, but would like to take the ones I am about to build with me). And being a chick I am concerned with the aethestics of my panels and like the look of the felt mounted by wood.
My current room height is 8' (2.4m) with L = 9' 8" and W= 7'3" (I know, why d'ya think I'm moving?!) so instead of building one massive bass trap per corner I would like to build more smaller traps to fill the same space (150 x 600 x 600mm or 6" x 2' x 2'). I will probably leave a small gap between each panel.
1. Will I achieve the same or similar desired effect as one large trap? I understand I will probably loose some trapping in the gaps but will this be a considerable amount and does the size of the gap depend of this loss?
2. Does the thickness of the timber need to be 47mm or can I go thinner?
I will be making holes in the wood to allow for further absorbtion of the lower frequencies into my RS60 Rocksil (60kg/m3).
Would greatly appreciate any advice on this. I am seriously grateful to all you generous advice givers. I have spent weeks scouring the web and have learned an enormous amount (esp since I didnt take physics in school
)
