Need Advice On Placing Absorption Panel On Ceiling


I plan to experiment by placing 2 pieces of 2" thick absorption wedge panels on the ceiling. I would be grateful if anyone could advise beforehand on the recommended arrangement of the panels. This is what I have in mind :-

If some diffusion is required at later stage, I will add thin long strips of wood in between the wedge as proposed by Ethan Winer.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

I put some 4'x4'x2" sonex on my ceiling.They are 12',I couldnt hear a difference so I dont know what to say about your room.Not many people put acoustic foam on ceilings though many do their walls.For the obvious reason.I would stay away from that project.If you must,be sure to get lots of 3M 77&78 adhesive spray and use panels no bigger than 2'x4'x2".Stay away from the 4 footers,there hard to handle,good luck,Bob
Interesting post Frenchfries.I commend your ambition and attention to detail.Glad to hear it was a success.Thats the right way to do the job.I set-up a Bakers scaffold which helped immeasureably[sp],but I am glad if I dont have to work on the ceiling again though some rooms require it for optimum sound,cheers,Bob
Beautiful!Yes,8' ceilings with those speakers would seem to be bouncing off sound fearsomely.Pressurized,I guess would be the word.....I would love to hear your system,I am very impressed with your style,cheers,Bob
