Free Diffusor panels

I'm not sure where to post this, but here goes. Now that I am through with my build I have some diffusor panels I never used. I think they are 24 inches square and 2 inches thick at the thickest. There are around 32 of them and I need the garage space, so if you are in the Dallas / Fort worth area and can come get them, You can HAVE them. Just please let me know fairly soon or they are going out to the curb. Thanks! Tom

maybe a church or school in your area could use them for their music program? might want to drop an email to one or two before you toss them...

you might want to put a flame to them before that. :D I think it is great you are willing to give them away, but I have a question about them. Are sure they are diffusors? It looks like foam in some kind of diffusor shape, which if that is the case they would be absorbing instead of diffusing. Glenn

These Schroeder things look like polyethyleen foam to me. If so it's likely closed cell. Bet the depth is very shallow (small design area) , and the fire properties should indeed be checked.

Glenn, Glenn, and Eric. :) It indeed seems to be some sort of closed cell type of product. It feels like a dense variety of styrofoam that has been dipped in something to rigidize it... possibly flameproof it? The deepest cavity is about 1.5 inches the shallowest about 3/8 of a inch. I obviously don't want to jeopardize anyone's safety so if it does not pass a flame test, I will trash them. I never used any of them myself, I originally got them off another studio that had an excess of them that they installed at their facility. Thanks for bringing up the safety aspect. Just because people use and sell things for studios does not automatically make them safe. I honestly had not considered that aspect.

sorry, i had assumed you used them in your studio and therefore had selected a thoroughly safe and effective product :shock: definitely check the flame proof aspect and maybe the audio specs on them so you're not making those children suffer with poor acoustics! :wink:

When I have things that lay around and prove to be no good, usually I just give them to my Mother-in-law. But thanks anyway!

:finger: There are some things common around the world ..... :mrgreen:
