i mounted 4 door-sized echobuster panels to my cathedral ceiling (!) due to an overly reverberant room. i honestly didn't know if it would work or not, but they (EB)custom made and boxed the panels for me. well, they work. there is still a tiny bit of liveliness to the room, but i think a very small amount makes a positive contribution- if i had ended up muffling the upper mids and treble too much, it would have ruined the experiment. anyway, i ball-parked it, and still came out ahead. others should take a more educated approach than i did, but i kinda knew instinctively after a few years how much of a problem i had just by walking around, talking or whistling (!) and listening to the amount of delay/echo. and it's great when the tweeters in your speakers stop driving you out of the room...
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?
