Trippigs Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I have recently completed the construction of cabinetry which contains a pair of Cornwalls. The cabinet doors are designed to have a grill to conceal the speakers. I have thought about cloth, perforated metal and perforated mdf. Then I thought about the standard pegboard used in garages because it inexpensive and easy to work with. However I wonder if it is acoustically transparent. I welcome your thoughts.

garyrc Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Pegboard is not acoustically transparent, and would probably resonate. Perforated metal could produce problems, as well. Use cloth. Google fabric companies that have lines of grille cloth. Here are some vendors. There is no guarantee that they are truly acoustically transparent in the high frequencies. Since there will be no light coming from behind, use the thinnest material you can.

Marvel Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 perforated metal will work, but would need to be around 60% open. http://www.bnoack.com/index.html?http&&&www.bnoack.com/audio/perforated.html https://www.speakerworks.com/speaker_grills_s/34.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trippigs Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Today I installed some gray grill cloth from Parts Express. It was easy to work with and is relatively opaque.....just stretched and stapled. And very inexpensive.....I just thought I needed something pricy!
