G'day.
I'm a newbie to the Forum (having previously lurked a bit), & one of the old blokes in the Australian recording industry (guitarist).
Does anyone have any gut feeling/thoughts/otherwise regarding the relative merits of either MLV or Homosote/Canite or MDF as the core material in bass management hangers?
Obviously, there is quite a cost difference!
From what I can gather, there's not much (no?) empirical data, so any illumination would be appreciated.
Ta,
Bob.
Bass hangers - MLV Vs Homosote/Canite

Bob - all the hangers I've seen in Tom Hidley studios were made from Caneite - Caneite is a brand name and is no longer manufactured and has been replaced with Soft Board which is a similar product.

This company claims to still stock sheets of Caneite.

we missed all the floods here in the upper Clarence. The channels through the town were full but not overflowing and creating any problem.
fyi.
In my country , Homasote is sold under the name of Celotex
