New music space - or 'A long list of compromises'

[McCreed]

Where are those going to go?
Fixed to the wall somewhere, or are they movable?

Do you reckon you'll need treatment on the ceiling? (clouds?)

[blinddrew]

Two (and two small ones) on the wall behind the desk, two on each side wall, three as ceiling-wall corner panels, 2 as a ceiling cloud. The back wall will be diffusion rather than absorption. I'll also have a little rockwool left for another small panel but I'm not sure if/where to use it.

[Simon Barden]

Is the space big enough to make diffusion useful? Or is it 'natural' diffusion because it's going to be shelves/bookcase etc?

[blinddrew]

Probably not and yes respectively.

Not the most productive weekend, but mostly focused on the frame for the end set of broadband absorbers:
Testing the frame fit:


Frame built and set:


With a couple of panels mounted:

There will be two smaller panels going on the end of the arms.

Almost done all of the rest of the panel frames but you know what they look like...

[Simon Barden]

Do you realise that there's someone copying everything you do over on the SOS forum?

[McCreed]

I thought they were going to be wall-mounted. You don't think the little "out-rigger" in the front is going to a problem?

Seems like it could be a trip hazard, but I may be just clumsy.

So i'm not the only two left footed forumite? ( I really should get Igor to fix that)

I would catch that thing with a hoof every time I walked near it!

Then probably end up smashing it!

The structure of the wall isn't good for bearing weight. The leg will have a guitar rack either side and a desk in front of it so it won't be a trip hazard once everything's in place. Until then I will doubtless be referring to it as 'that b@stard thing' on a regular basis.
