I might suggest that you investigate some of the products marketed to the pro audio community. These folks are ultra critical and rather knowledgable about acoustic concerns with regards to setting up studios and control room environments. Some of the products are, I might add, not inexpensive. You can scout a few forums for tips and advice; www.recording.org , www.johnsayers.com , www.homerecording.com are a few places you can go. You can check out the specific forums for acoustics and/or studio design and get lots of general info on acoustics, DIY project tips, and pointers towards quality manufacturers of acoustic treatments. Ethan Winer's products have a pretty good rep and you can check those out at www.realtraps.com. He also has a lot of interesting information on his website and for many links on studio acoustics, go to http://www.theprojectstudiohandbook.com/articles15.htm
EchoBuster products, Does anybody use them?
I'm looking through the threads and find very limited mention of EchoBuster products. They seem to have an interesting line, EchoBusters, Double Busters, Bass Busters, and PHASE-4. I read the old Stereophile review online but as we all know, that’s just a review. Most of the recommendations I see are toward ASC products and that is the only acoustic treatment gear that I have any experience with. What draws me to their stuff is the floor stand suspended panels (aprox. 2'x4') not needing to be wall mounted and could easily be moved around. Finding a dealer to let me try some out is not possible and the retail price for me is prohibitive for just experimenting. Acoustic room treatment seems to be such a nebulous realm. What do you think? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
