Anybody use them that can comment on their effectiveness? Would superchunks be more effective to treat a 7 X 7 Whisper Room?

Those Cumulus look pretty sweet, haven't tried 'em yet.
I use these in two corners: http://www.atsacoustics.com/corner-bass-trap-b.html

Hmmm. I had my eye on those as well... Sigh. Well, I guess somebody has to road test these babies! Might as well be me. I'm going to buy four of the Cumulus model and report back, though it'll be awhile before I build the booth. Still in escrow on the new house ATM.

I've got the same ones George mentioned, they really work wonders. I would think they'd be a lot more effective than those Cumulus ones simply because they're so much bigger... mass is what absorbs bass. According to the specs page, the Cumulus panels don't deal with anything below 100Hz... I wouldn't think they'd be much help in a Whisper Room.

@Diane - Thanks! I will!
@Chris - Well, the sales smarm goes like this:
Cumulus in a Vocal Booth
Small rooms like vocal booths are plagued with problems in the 150Hz to 400Hz region. The Cumulus is extremely effective at absorbing these frequencies reducing chest hump.
Bunch of hokum?
Now I'm thinking maybe I use the Cumulus stuff in the top corners and the bass traps (like the ones George directed me to) in the lower corners. Then add some panels on the walls. So much to ponder.
