CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!
Sorry, guess Thomas is pretty busy with his new company startup; that's kind of an odd-shaped booth; what do you use it for, and is it possible to "steal" some of that space for a corner trap at the end opposite the door? Generally, you want a booth as dead as you can get it; using 2 to 4" fiberglass (the rigid kind) on at least the upper half of walls and the ceiling is a good start If you have the headroom, leaving a 3 to 4 inch gap between the ceiling and the fiberglass helps widen the range of frequencies that are absorbed. If you're doing acoustic guitar in the booth, then a slat resonator tuned to around 300 hZ would be good; it should help tame typical body resonances somewhat. This page should give you some ideas for traps - http://www.johnlsayers.com/HR/index1.htm And here is the corrected calculator for the slat absorbers - for a corner trap, use the average depth in calculations - http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1363 Hope that helps, let me know if you need more info...
