Sound Cloth ?

Spindrift · 15th September 2009

Hi All,

I just got back from Hancock Fabrics. Was in search of muslin/canvas to cover some 2x2 homemage gobos. I ended up with this really expensive "Sound Cloth" which really deadens the HF freqs. It was $9/yd

It feels like the snuggly blankies of my early youth and really does cut the sound.

But I bought it anyway to cover my Roxul AFB on one end and put peg board on the other (super absorbent side and a semi absorbent side).

Did I screw up? Should I have just stuck with muslin?

you might be ok but you really want to be able to blow through it.

No, that sounds fine. These are gobos, yes? And I'm sure you want them to absorb too.

Glenn's 100% right for absorbers but as long as they're for gobos you're fine.
