Er.. holes of 3/16 diameter.. that would translate to almost 5mm drillholes right? Just want to make sure before I mess things up. If there's any construction info on the net or in a book (Alton Everest?) I would really appreciate it if someone would let me know where to look. |
Hay ANseo- about 3/16 diameter- just go to a hardware store and buy a bit in 3/16- they will stock them.
Also- if you build a corner cabinet like I said-with heaps of volume for rockwool- it will work- and I suspect better than the commercially available ones cause it will have like x 8 times the volume of rockwool in ewach trap.!!!. If they are just to sit in the corners behind the monitors then I personally would leave the front open with a nice patterened cover material, to act as a broadband trap- with the 2 walls of the cabinet facing the walls drilled out as much as possible- again so the 2 rear walls of the basstrap also act as a broadband unit. If you stuff heaps of volume rockwool it still eats bass down low IME, and will control unwanted higher frequency crap which you do not need coming from the 2 corners in front of the mix position
If you are really stuck locating the Master handbook of Acoustics 4th edn, by F Alton Everest send me a pm,
Cheers
