Very cool. I’m impressed. And I can only assume that it works very well. Jon over at AudioGeekZine.com had a nice article on some more portable absorptive panels.

These would be nice “spot treatments” to combine with your larger, more massive gobos. Good times.

(I assume you saw them, but there are some follow up threads that show the build process)

A lot of the gobos sold online are also on a high stand (leaving a giant gap underneath). This is obviously not a good thing… Anyone who has a few power tools and a little experience with cutting wood should be able to build these no problem.

Acoustic treatment is very very important (as you say). It doesn’t matter how well your microphone and preamp represent the sound if it sounds bad in the first place.

It’s so disheartening to shop around for gobos. Auralex MaxWalls, for example, are still a bit pricey, aren’t all that attractive, and they’re mainly made of foam, so there’s not a lot of low frequency absorption. (Like you said, mass is important.)

$127 is a steal for a nice gobo, and you get to make it yourself, plus you get to determine what it looks like (shape, size, color, etc.)

If only we would all give acoustic treatment the attention it deserves, rather than lusting after the next microphone or preamp.
