Blank. Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Allright, I talked to a guy who used to design sound equipment. I asked him, "Why is this sound isolation foam so reeking expensive?" And he put it this way: You can go the expensive way, and spend a lot of your hard-earned money, but there is another way. You can use egg cartons! They're the right shape, if you get the right ones. To which I of course asked, "but aren't they too hard? That's why studio foam is foam, right?" And he said that it's the shape that matters, not neccesarily the density. So, is this true? Pretty cool if it is, but I would like to hear your opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cucco3 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Egg cartons may afford a certain amount of dispersion but offer no absorbtion at all. I had a vocal booth totally plastered with 12 by 12 inch egg cartons. It had very little noticable effect on anything much more than spoken word. I guess it depends on what you are looking for.

Blank. Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yeah... Mostly I want to get rid of early reflections, which is probably what egg cartons can do, but I'd much prefer the flat sound. *shudders* I think I'll just go with the bass trap, thank you.
