In Reply to: Jon Risch bass trap fabric choices? posted by Aaron 01 on October 29, 2005 at 10:23:42:
The easiest way to test fabric is to speak to it while moving closer to it, and listen to the reflected sound of your voice.Start with a bare hard surface, such as a wall. Say a word or phrase over and over while you move your head closer to it.
Then hold a folded piece or flattened roll of the fabric over the wall and repeat. Notice the change in timbre and diminished loudness compared to the hard surface.
Compare different fabrics, and choose the one that gives the most neutral sound with diminished reflection. I found a cashmere wool scarf to be the best sample, and am looking for more of this material in inexpensive outlets. Wool blanket material is also good.
I'm serious about this, but the method seems silly. Other people who do not understand what you are doing will think your are crazy if you do this in a fabric store, so be discreet.
