Hanging absorbers

Chris4175 · 7th January 2009

Hi guys - very quick question.

I live in rented accomodation so can't stick stuff to walls, and want to treat early reflections.

Can I simply hang acoustic wedges like I would a picture? Or do they need to be fixed to the wall more firmly?

Thanks

Chris

If you are building something like our product it hangs on the wall like a picture frame. You could also use stands.

Thanks - taking it even further can I just tape some string to the panels and hang them from a nail?

A 2'x4' piece of mineral wool/703 will be too heavy to do that...it'll also look really, really bad. I also can't see tape actually adhering to either of those materials.
