Mobile 703 Panels

[tkingen]

I am purchasing some 24" x 48" OC703 panels to add to the Auralex that I already have. Since the Auralex is mounted to the walls it would be nice to mount the 703 panels on stands that can be moved around. Will they still be as effective?
For example, I have a wooden chest of drawers that is used to store mics, cables, etc. Will a 703 panel mounted to a mic stand still be effective if it's temporarily placed a few inches in front of it? Will it still absorb the same low frequencies as if it were mounted to a wall?

Thanks,
Terry

Hey Terry, sorry, I can't answer the question for you

But out of curiosity, how much an you get 703 down in Seattle?

A 24x48" panel is over $20 here in the AK.

Terry,
I have found panels like that to be very useful indeed.
First of all you can totally change the rooms sound from live to dead depending on where you place them in proximity to the mics.
In fact (as far as bass frequencies are concerned) the further you space the absorbers from the wall the more likely they will absorb lower frequencies. When the spacing from the wall is like 1/4 wavelength ( of what ever problem frequency you are trying to absorb) it works better.

I am no expert, but I love movable panels!

Jason,

I'm buying them from Nick at modularacoustics.com. Finished with the protective bags they are 65.00 each. I've never priced out the raw materials here. That's a good question, though!

Tom,

Thanks for the info. Can't wait to try them out!
