Setting Up Foam And Owens 703 Without Damaging Walls

[gethypedmusic]

How would I Go About Setting Up My Bass traps in the corners, My Clouds, And my 703 Board without Damaging the walls in my apartment?!

Spray Adhesive is out of the question.

I was thinking Spacers but the room isnt big enough to use them.

So I need another suggestion. Thanks

You have to have *some* way to adhere them to the walls/ceiling. There is no "damage free" way to do it, but hooks, sheetrock anchors and the like leave very small holes that are easily repaired.

Bass traps are a simple solution. Build them to be free standing gobo's. They can stand in the corners when mixing and also serve as room gobo (short for go-between) panels when tracking.

The wall panels can also be made to stand on taller poles/legs.

As far as the ceiling panels are concerned...you can't defy gravity. You must use something to attach them. The least damage would probably be nails, screws, staples, or drywall hooks. Then commit to patching the holes when you vacate.

I agree with the gobo idea. That would make the room a lot more flexible.

I'll say it in every thread. A home studio is not a good place to put foam. The 703 works much better.

And yeah, build a wood frame for your 703 and put legs on it so it can sit on the floor leaning up against the walls in the corner of your room.
