Gobo Idea....help needed!!!!

[fresh_oil]

Hey all... I have office partition frames that I want to use as gobos. My idea was to use aurelex foam as the surface of the gobo as opposed to putting 2" insulation inside the frame and covering it with fabric (waaay more expensive).

My idea was to put a sheet of wood tightly fit in the frame and then cover it with aurelex. But how can I attach the wood to the partition frame?

I mean, if you want to be really simplistic about it you could just get plywood that's the same width as the frame and screw it in. That would be pretty easy...then your plan is to cover the whole deal in Auralex, right? That'd work pretty well, but there won't be enough mass to do much on the low end. That's not the end of the world for a gobo though.

thanks Frank, the gobo will be mainly used for vox. I have a nice size room and want less sonic "space" when tracking my lead vox. Thanks!!!

Here's a link to my studio build....(just fyi...)

Cool...nice place. Yeah, that'll work just fine for that application. Looks like you've got plenty of Auralex to spare!

this is a really cool way to view a baffle/gobo blueprint..

first download for free: Google Sketchup

then download this project: Studio Baffle design

I built my Gobo up to spec and it's the ticket my friend!
