Just a Test

Just wanted to share my DIY acoustic panel build project for our theater area. I knew I needed some acoustical help because I could hear muddy sounds, echoing and reverb as the sound level is increased. Gets difficult to listen to if volume is turned up too much. Sound becomes harsh. Not that we watch our movies that loud, but I do like to feel a sound track?. The MCACC in the Pioneer SC07 does a good job, but it can?t completely correct an inherently bad sounding room. And our room is definitely acoustically challenged! So I?ve been reading the DIY threads here and researching online as to how to build myself. I considered buying finished panels, but was intrigued by the DIY project and the opportunity to save some dollars. It?s really not a difficult build, just takes a commitment of time, some basic tools and a bit of wood framing experience. I know there?s other DIY acoustical panel build threads already, but wanted to share my version of the project.

    Mufsoman, So how did the 2 panels pictured chance the sound. Better in your opinion ?

    I actuall y built and installed six panels. The picture above only shows three. I have created a full write up with a bunch of pictures to explain the build process, but still trying to figure out how to attached the pics appropriately, hence this test post. Kepp watch for the full write up.

    BTW the panels helped quite a bit with cleaning up the muddiness, reverb, echoing, etc. Also help to crispen the bass a bit.
