Good suggestions! I'm looking forward to just digging into the project.
Experiment question about sound treatment project
I'm considering making a few sound absorbing panels for my space.
To avoid the trouble of making the panels and finding out they don't help, could I simply hang pieces of the inner absorbent material to test out possible pact? If they work, I'll finish them, if not, labor saved.
Thoughts?

Your plan is exactly what I did and still recommend. Owens Corning 703 acoustic panel is practically an industry standard, and widely available in 2'x3' sheets 1" to 3" or thicker. The thicker you go the lower the frequency, with 1" being fine for midrange-treble we usually want to get the most. It cuts easily and its so light weight you can pin or tape temporarily to test. The corner tunes in my room are OC703 covered with fabric. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Test panels in raw form from 2004. https://theanalogdept.com/c_miller.htm |
Thanks, MC. I don't think I had a link to that older webpage and I appreciate getting your reading list. Some reading to do! I also appreciate seeing the ceiling and corner treatments. I don't have a dedicated listening room, so I probably won't go to the lengths you did until I do. Still, they're good reminders that reflections can and do come from anywhere. |
