From: Paul Stamler on 16 Oct 2005 02:51 Hi folks: Radio Shack used to sell foam loudspeaker grilles that were reasonably acoustically transparent. They seem to to sell them anymore, and I couldn't Google any that were in stock other than someone who would sell me 1 square meter of the stuff for $53. This is about 0.99 square meters more material than I need. So does anyone know a source for this stuff in small quantities? Peace, Paul

An HVAC supplier can sell you humidifier pads which are a similar sort of very open material. For the most part, foam grilles are no longer fashionable, and since the consumer electronics guys aren't selling speakers with them any more, Radio Shack has stopped selling replacement ones. Radio Shack _does_ sell a foam turntable mat that might work if you need a very small piece. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

About 3/8". This is to replace the foam under the metal screen of an E-V 660 microphone. I tried the Shack windscreens, but they're far from acoustically transparent. Color doesn't matter. > An HVAC supplier can sell you humidifier pads which are a similar sort > of very open material. > > For the most part, foam grilles are no longer fashionable, and since the > consumer electronics guys aren't selling speakers with them any more, > Radio Shack has stopped selling replacement ones.

I don't need anything exact; just something acoustically transparent and about 3/8" thick. I'll check them out. Peace, Paul |
