My basstraps

[Yiannis]

Hi guys!

I just finished my ceiling cloud ,35cm thick,and I got spare rockwool.

so I thought about making some more basstraps folowing Ethans advice that the more basstraps the better.

So there are made from two layers of rockwool 120 x 60 x 5 each.
Rockwool is 75kg/m3.
Total thickness is 10 cm and I made a lot of holes around the frame to let the sound waves get in.

The white cloth is not the final.Its just a material that will not let the rockwool fibers come out.
I will put the real cloth above it later

If I put these panels side by side should I leave a space between ?

thank you.

No for the ceiling you want to butt them up together. Be sure though to space them off the ceiling a couple inches.

thank you Glenn.

So for wall placement how much space between the panels is ideal?

For the side walls you want to butt them together also. I assume you are putting these in the first reflection points?

yes its for the first reflection points spacing 10cm from the walls.

Would you please explain why butting them together is better than leaving a space between them?
I thought that a space will leave the sides exposed thas more apsorbing area

thank you.

For the reflection points you are just covering the area to stop reflections from hitting you. If you put a space between them you are going to have a area that could cause sound to reflect and hit you. Now with that said if you end up with a 2 to 3" gap between them you should be fine because of the angle, but to make sure I would butt them together.
