Other manufacturers make similar products, some fiberglass, some rockwool, even acoustic cotton. I got my OC703 at The MacArthur Company.

I close mic with condensor mics (oktava) because when i move them more then say 1ft away, it starts to sould bad (room i guess). But too close up misses some of the natural resonances that you can hear with your ears. In short, the recording does not sound as good as the guitar sounds. So i'm thinking of building absorbers like you. Where can i get this OC 703 stuff? Thanks for all your helpful articles. Hi,
