Is it possible to make square absorber with two mebrames facing two directions ? So for the 50Hz the the size would be 35*35*60, the sides facing the room will be the embrames? Just something that popped up :-)

Best regards,

Peter
Hi Peter, yes, the dark grey squares are the absorbers. The membrane needs to be exposed, so if you have one on the ceiling and another adjacent on the wall, you simply butt the edges of the boxes together to create a new room corner that is the two membranes. A gap does not matter, it's not really that critical. In the drawing the dashed lines show the outline of the units mounted on the adjacent surfaces.

Yes you could do it as you suggest to make it tidier. As I said, it's not that critical but the length and width of the enclosure should not be the same dimension (square).
