Home made absorption panels.....


I would like to hear some good inexpensive ways to make absorption panels, particularly at first point of reflection.

Thanks.

You can make frames out of inexpensive 1x2 lumber, which gives you 1.5" depth. Cut high-density foam (or other acoustic materials) to fit the frame. Then, go to your local fabric store and pick out your choice of inexpensive fabric (you will be surprised at how many styles and patterns you can choose from - even "artistic" patterns/colors). Then, stretch the fabric over the frames and staple. Hang as you would a picture frame. If interior decorating isn't your thing, take your girlfriend/wife/mom with you to the fabric store! You can make a lot of panels that actually look very good "artsy" for cheap. I did this and it worked. Then I got remarried and had to sell the whole house - dedicated room and all!!
