My goal is to get absorbtion down to appx. 500Hz... lower if possible... in my front and rear wall absorbers. It seems the two most popular type of insulation are rigid fiberglass and a semi-rigid mineral wool.
People familiar with these are well aware of the price difference...
3" - 2'x4' Mineral Wool = 0.30 per sq ft.
2" - 2'x4' Rigid Fiberglass = 0.96 per sq ft.
Obviously, big difference.
In my design, I had planned to use 6" (2 layers of 3") of mineral lifted 3.5" from wall in my front and rear absorbers. So will this get down to about 500Hz, or do I need to use rigid fiberglass to get there?
The reason I want to get down to about 500Hz is because these will be complemented with slat resonators that will absorb in the range from about 200Hz-500Hz (maybe a bit lower if I'm lucky).
Thanks.
