Hanger Materials, Assembly, & Mounting

By the way, are hangers better than resonant bass traps ? Would you normally use hangers in a bigger space or for lower/higher frequencies ?

I think the problem with resonant bass traps over hangers is that they are tuned to specific frequencies (i.e., not broadband) so you would have to first know what the problem frequencies are and then make a trap for each one. Hangers are more of a broadband absorber so you would't to know about any particular bass frequency problems before you test the room. len

Michel - check this page out, about half way down. http://johnlsayers.com/Studio/Pages/Somewhere.htm What I do with hangers when you are placing them between two parallel surfaces, like in the ceiling of the studio, is divide the distance and put a hanger, divide again and put a hanger etc etc till you have enough. In other words you put them at the nodes of the harmonics. In a corner trap you do what Steve said, just cut them to fit. I use the light Celotex board Steve mentioned. We call it Canite in Australia. It's the board you see used for notice boards, painted white on one side and you can stick drawing pins into it easily. That Dacron is so much easier to use than prickley, itchy, fiberglass ;) Oh - that control room is somewhere in Europe so you can get the materials ;) cheers john

Nice work on that control room, "somewhere in Europe" :)

I might be what we call "Isorel mou". It's available in 10mm and 20mm thicknesses. It's made of wood fibers. Thanks a lot, Michel
