Build My Own Room Treatments


Hey Gang
I've read much from many of you about treating a room so that you get the most out of your sound system.  I've seen what various audio shops put on their walls etc.  I get the general impression that it's primary purpose is to eliminate the echo effect so that sound waves are less distorted.  It seems to me that someone could build their own wall treatments (and aestetically - no parchute hanging frm my ceiling) instead of paying someone else to do it.  What are the best components for wall treatment?  All bright ideas are welcome.

Before embarking on this journey some education is in order. Otherwise you will get so many conflicting ideas that you may end up more confused than when you asked this question. One of the best sources I have found is Acoustic Fields. They specialize in this very thing for recording studios audio listening rooms churches etc. They offer design work and have plans for DYI projects that you can build yourself. https://www.acousticfields.com/
Also check out Dennis's (the owner) video's where he will teach you all about room treatment. You really need to have a good understanding of what's involved and what it is you are really trying to achieve or you can waste lots of time and money.
