Hi Guys
For my first post, I am thinking of some DIY panels for my stereo room and considering 3" material framed with 1x4 finger pine and covered in Silver burlap.
My stereo has six 12" subs corner loaded and produces significant usable bass down to well below 20 Hz
I am trying to find the material with the best recommended absorption characteristics for this project. I am hoping to put six of them on the walls with a 3" standoff, and either three of them on the center of my peaked ceiling, or three of them on either side of the peak.
I see there are two types of contenders: one has SEC values close to or greater than one in frequencies above 250 Hz, but relatively poor performance below, such as the Corning 703 unfaced. Others, such as the Roxul Rockboard, have a flatter performance curve with better performance below 250 but performance below one across the upper frequencies.
Corning 705 FRK has been the reining champ here, but I have found little info thus far on the Roxul material.
What are your experiences? What do you consider, inch for inch, the top 3 materials for absorption in this application?
Thanks
Kerry
