703/705 Alternatives for acoustic traps?

[WKG]

Interesting graph Scott.

I used JM 814 in the Ready Acoustics, Ready Trap bags/covers as it was available locally and cost less than the OC 703. Works great, Bob's site indicated it has fairly similar ratings as OC 703.

Works for me. I'll use the extra money for an SM7...

We need a scratching smilie....

Actually as long as you wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves and not shorts and a tank top you'll be ok. It helps to take a shower right afterward and toss your clothes right in the washing machine, by themselves, not with the socks and underwear.tutt

Of course if you make them all day for a living...

Just don't lay down in the bed to take a nap with your work clothes on, your wife will kill you...

Ahhhh... it takes me back to when I was a yoot - grinding fiberglass boats all day beneath the brutal Florida sun - unitl I was as white as the Pilsbury Doughboy from the dust.

scratch scratch scratch

WKG:

Ya.. it aint that big a deal - and can be dealt with with regular duds as you describe. But, IMO this is the way to go. Zip it up - do the deed - toss it in the trash.

All kinding aside you should wear a hat and glasses also.
When taking a shower take a cold shower. It will help.

Definitely a cold shower, I learned that when I worked at an industrial company years ago fabricating furnace seals from ceramic fiber insulation. That was really nasty stuff. We used to have the hooded suits with full face respirators.

Yup, if I was building them all day long I'd get the tyvek suits Scott suggested. Probably a mask or filter type respirator as well. For just a few (15) I was fine although a hat and glasses is a really good suggestion.

Didn't do hardly any scratch scratch scratch...

Cojo,

> I was checking out your article (great by the way ) but I can't find any information of what the room was build of. Concrete, dry wall or wood? <

My Density Test was done in a room at our factory with plain sheet rock on all four sides and the ceiling, and a cement floor. I never looked inside the walls, but I suspect there's no insulation inside.

Drywall ceiling? or drop ceiling?

I googled, compared specs and prices and went with Knauff 4" 3lb because the local dealer gave me a sweet deal and the specs measured up well. Definitely worth it to shop brands.

Can you or anyone else post a link to this piece of Literature by Ethan Winer?--Actually, found it, sorry.... THANKS!

There's a ton of stuff on my personal site and also the RealTraps site:

Ethan's Articles
Acoustics FAQ

Very cool, Ethan--Thanks! I am doing research little by little... Next week I'll call a few places in town to see what insulation materials they have--after seeing some specs, or to request those as well.
