Exactly. The cost of materials is much higher, but the performance is only a little better. So unless cost is not an issue, it makes more sense to cover more total corners with a 4-inch panel than treat fewer corners filled solid.

Thanks again Ethan, very cool.

Okay while I have your attention (still sorry for the thread hijack airmate). Most of the people I see making panel absorbers for corner traps look like they are sealing the sides, top and bottom of the traps so no air can leak around them.

This is a pressure type of panel I would assume that is causing the sound waves to have to fight to work through the 703 or what have you then the air space then some back absorption. Not sure what this type of trap is called but is a sealed trap like this better than just mounting 703 a few inches off the corner wall?


Thanks again man.
