What is the intention of the panel? Is it for bass frequencies, are you going to add multiple sheets or a single sheet. Check the NRC of Roxul and see which frequencies you are trying to absorb and make your decision based on that.I am planning to install Fabric wrapped rockwool acoustic panels of size 3x2ft in my bedroom. Roxul Rockwool panels are available for density of 40-100 kg/m cube, what density will be appropriate?

Should work wonders for reflections if you are putting them up in the right places ( first reflection points) saying this as just adding accoustic foam ( those pyramid ones from mmt accoustix) made a big difference for reflections in my setupThanks guys. My main reason for installing this would be to tackle reflections in my room. I will be using single sheet of 50mm in a wooden frame with maybe 10mm airgap with the wall due to space constraint. Seems 40-50kg/m should suffice.

I purchased a few boxes of roxul rockwool safe n silent pro 380 a few days ago and the rates quoted on the aural website are very high. I did a bit of research and sourced them through a distributor for a very good deal. Kindly PM and let me know if you need the details for the distributor.When I spoke with aural exchange.

I am looking to install these panels on the front wall(behind the speakers) and the back wall(behind the listener, above the bed), no idea about the 1st reflection points. BTW these are the only walls where I can install the panels. Can you give examples of diffusers(especially esthetically pleasing), I believe rockwool is an absorber, right?A couple of thoughts....
1. Room Reflections, particularly at the 1st Reflection points I feel are best handled by DIFFUSERS at these locations, rather than Absorbers.
2. I cant stress enough, the importance of having an airgap (between the Rockwool and wall) Equal to the thickness of the Rockwool.
Any reason why?Room Reflections, particularly at the 1st Reflection points I feel are best handled by DIFFUSERS at these locations, rather than Absorbers.
These locations are Good for AbsorbersI am looking to install these panels on the front wall(behind the speakers) and the back wall(behind the listener, above the bed), no idea about the 1st reflection points.

Good Point, sud98.Any reason why?
look for panels which have a perforated wooden slate which are placed on top rockwool/fiberglass etc at first reflection points. The do both absorption and diffusion. Absorb the low end and diffuse the highs.PM sent
