I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?

“Let me just stress that I’m not asking for advice (yet) about how to fix my room, but rather experiments to try.” it’s your room and you are the one that has to play around with placement. it can be fun / interesting to hear how the sound changes while moving panels around. really surprised as much as you are on the forums that you don’t have the equipment on anything (isolation). |
I bought several from www.readyacoustics.com. years ago. In my small room, I now use only two (doubled @ 4" thick that I modified with several holes @different sizes) directly behind my speakers with the tweeter in aligned at the center of the panels. It's easy to overdamp with these. I believe Ready Acoustics will sell you coverings? |
@mitch2 — thanks for those tips. I probably will want to use these for something more than room pads, because like many, I'm not so handy that I will be able to finish these into something long-term good looking. @tvad Good suggestion. I hadn't thought of subtracting and then adding back in. That would create a mix of diffusion and absorption I don't have there now. @riley804 I have read about isolation a lot, but, first, my stuff was on a really solid and low coffee table and then I moved it off to the side. I figured I would sort out the room before the isolation. The speaker stands are new and very solid. Perhaps you'd do isolation first? @slaw Thanks for the reference. I'll check into coverings. I really need to see if my 20hz - 300hz range is dialed in before doing too much more with the upper frequencies (using my OC 703); so that's why I call what I'm doing now just "playing." |
