Seem to recall, sound pressure must be absorbed and changed to heat!


Weight is usually the key. Egg carton will just scatter higher freqs.

Useful for quick and temporary treatment in a small mobile situation
such as a caravan being used as the announcer's booth at a festival
radio station. ;-)


Not really. It won't even scatter high frequencies, to be honest.

Lots of cushions scattered around were also helpful and gave the talent
somewhere comfy to lounge round while they were waiting to be interviewed.


Now THAT makes more sense.
