Well its clearly absorptive

There is no break down per frequency band... but it did get a 1.00 coefficent on a "Klasse A" curve so that looks good. Look here for a general description

This info is not broken down per frequency - but even absent assurance of how well does low in the band - keeping in mind that these Dope Traps are about a foot thick - I'd bet they are excellent broadband absorbers all the way down to the bottom.

Look at the performance of some other natural fiber products... at 4" / 100mm thick:

So at a guess, I'd reckon these 240mm thick panels are truly broadband... no need to conseder "upgrading" them with a membrane. That would just introduce peaks and dips in the absorption curve. Why would you want that?
