CR Rear Wall Question

Actually, the BBC uses even "herkier" stuff than that with no apparent ill effect. As long as you don't make the hole pattern small enough for it to start acting like a perforated Helmholz, you're good. I might even consider expanded steel diamond mesh screwed to studs with the cloth over it for looks... Steve

I don't hang around with people who fall against walls :lol: :lol: seriously - I've never witnessed anyone going through a cloth framed wall. cheers john

My concern was just if someone were to casually lean up against it, not realizing what it is. You know?? The framing, which I have cut to pin-point accuracy and screwed and glued, is really stout, but ultimately there's no hard surface on the face of it At any rate, I'm really pleased with the way thats comming along. BTW, so.... there's no 703 in the wall, just behind the cloth?

Don't forget to apply 440V to the chicken wire, so when the darwin folks lean on it, they are eliminated from the gene pool. :-D For a while I was considering reworking my flip-floor vocal booth so that it can flip up, and down, on a pushbutton to eliminate irritating sopranos. LOL

"BTW, so.... there's no 703 in the wall, just behind the cloth?" - I was gonna wait for John to catch this but it looks like it fell through the cracks - I would think that if you want broadband absorption there (more bass trapping) you'd need to put 703 between your frames up front (behind the cloth) - otherwise, you would be wasting quite a bit of space for just a midband absorber... Steve

That's knid of what I was thinking too. John and I will work something out.
