Question about corners of a small booth

slowbass · 12th April 2008, 09:57 AM

Hello to all,

I'm currently building a small rectangular vocal/guitar booth (2mx1m50) made of wood and I'm thinking of the corners.

I'm thinking of putting one small board of wood "across" the corner : the upper part would be used as a silencer for the ventilation and the lower part would be filled with rockwool.

I'm not sure this would be a good idea because I don't know of this "box" would react to sounds.

Should I put holes in the lower part of the board or replace it with fabric ?

Thanks for your advices !

Corners are best saved for bass traps. But if you have a noisy air vent there, then you need to deal with that. It's pretty much that simple.

Thanks for your reply.
I was thinking of putting a "mixed" silencer/bass trap in the corner, but I don't know if it's possible nor if it exists !
