Another 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.

    Hey mufsoman, share away!
    What materials did you use? What size(s) did you make?
    How much did it cost you and how many panels did you make?
    TIA
