Which material (in Germany) for broadband absorber?

Post by Jncz »

Hey guys! First post ..

Been looking around this forum for advice on which 'wool' I should use in my home studio. A lot of people trying to find something comparable to OC703 which I understand.

Found a lot of helpful posts on the topic but some problems I've run into trying to make the right decision:

1: ROCKWOOL (ROCKTON) - The model numbers seem to differ here, for example where I only find 'Akustik WLG 035', and the website has no coefficient values. Bobgolds list doesn't contain this model numbers either. The Rockton comes in 6 different size panels from 50 - 150 mm.

2: ISOVER SSP2 - Seems like a popular choice but they have a black film across one side, does that mean I couldn't double up their thickest layer of 50mm two sheets thick to make 100mm? Or would I even need to? Does doubling thickness double coefficient values?

3: SUPERGLASS - Not much info but apparently as good if not better than the aforementioned options. Again no coefficients to be found.

Any advice on what I should go for in terms of something to construct first reflection absorber panels with? Also if this should be 40/50mm or if I should double that thickness as I see most Youtube demo's for example seem to use 3''+ thickness. As mentioned before, I am shopping for this in Germany!

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot John, having a look at that site but I can't seem to find the 48kg/m3 material you are speaking of. Could you point me to an exact product or model name if possible? There are 100's of different ones.

Much appreciated.

Hello there, German fellow (supposedly Bavarian, when I look at the bausepp links)!

I recently got good deals on Rockwool Termarock 50, which is 50kg/square meter. This should be fine I suppose! If you still get the same deal, you are looking at substantial cost savings here! I got it from baustoffe Kraft in Munich.

5 mm? For a BROADBAND absorber? You are kidding right? That's meant to be a joke? Or maybe you just got the link wrong, and were meaning to post a link to something more suitable, like 50mm mineral wool, for example?
