The BBC RD documents are great.

Your comment about absorbers, quoted above, has me confused. You have been here at Gearslutz long enough to have read many times that the total depth of an absorber and the gas flow resistance of the absorbent material are what is important. Also, BBC has been using solid, as in homogeneous, absorbers for many years. The multiple layer absorbers are obsolete, for reasons detailed in the relevant RD reports.

Smoothly absorbent, and full of it too,
