I picked up 12 boards of OC 703 yesterday to begin treating my room that serves as my home studio and rehearsal space. The room is 16' x 11.5' with 8' ceilings. One 16' wall has two exterior windows on either end of the wall. One window is 2' from the corner and the other is 3' from the corner. My mix desk is placed on the opposite 16' wall. If your facing my desk the 11.5' wall has a standard doorway 19.5 " away from the back wall's corner. The other 11.5' wall has an archway type opening that is 5' wide.
I assembled one broadband absorber with a 1x4 frame and 2 boards of 2" 703 (you can see it unmounted in the pics). I plan to hang it on the 16' wall in between the two exterior windows. I was planning on doing two more for the corners of that same wall but then I started reading some more info on Ethan's site. Looking at the plans it shows a sheet of plywood on the face of the frame for bass traps. So my question is, will the absorbers be effective in the corners without the plywood facing or should I make the corner ones with a plywood face? If so, can I still cover them with the same fabric?
Right now I have 10 boards of 703 left. Any placement suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated. Sorry for the messy pics. We had a rehearsal last night that we recorded and we pretty much wrecked the place setting up in a hurry lol.
