Since the room is empty right now, with no treatment, it is the perfect time to measure the room accurately, and post the dimensions here. Based on that we can predict what some of the problems will be, and confirm the prediction with the measurements that your friend will make.
Damn, i thought so...how deep? 30-40cm would be OK?Soundman2020 wrote:but what you will need without any doubt, is a LOT of bass trapping in that room. Very deep, very large bass traps.
Sorry...forgot to mention it. The classic panels with wooden frame, rock-wool covered with some type of fabric. Broadband absorbers, right?Soundman2020 wrote:What type of panel are you talking about here?
I understand, what i actually say is not less treatment. I mean instead of one 1.20x0.60 panel, to make two 0.60x0.60, i mean i already have the wood for framing 16 panels, why waste them?Soundman2020 wrote: Actually, it's the other way around. Small rooms need LOTS of treatment, and LARGE treatment.
No i am not talking something like that. I found the melamine and i intend to use it like thisSoundman2020 wrote:Are you talking about putting the melamine across the front of your superchunks? If so, I'd wait a bit before doing that: you might need it, or you might not. Once the superchunks and all the other treatment is in place, then you can get your friend to test the room again, and see if you need it.
OC 703 no. Rock-wool is used mostly and lately this one is used instead of rock-wool 'cause it's eco/health-friendly, but unfortunately there are no acoustic specs for that. It is the same as rock-wool and it's density is around 40kg/m3Soundman2020 wrote: What type of absorption can you get in Greece? Can you get Owens Corning 703? If so, then that would be great: buy lots of it! If not, then can you get some other type of semi-rigid fiberglass or mineral wool panels, similar to 703?
