Foam

Hi

Does anyone know where I can buy some acoustic foam from? The stuff that you can cut into shape for your ports.

 

You mean egg crate stuff? http://www.studiospares.com/pd_411000_ACOUSTICHECK.htm

 

If it is just to make the ports restrictive, ANY foam will do and you shouldn't need to buy any!

 

Why not (de)-construct some of your own from old woolly socks (washed)?

 

Try http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk/

 

I am already using socks- but I think its better to use foam whereby at least some air and sound gets through. Tannoy told me that if I completely blocked off the port I may eventually damage the driver over the long term.

Wasnt it Paul Messenger recently who was raving over a new kind of superior bung made by B&W for one of their standmounts (maybe in Stereophile)?

 

Thanks for the link, Tenson. I wasnt talking about panel for walls but could do with a few of them, too.
