I take acoustic (fiberglass) ceiling tiles, strip the white off and layer them in a frame made out of 1/4" x 2" deep oak 2' x 4'(I stain the oak for looks.) I place three of the 5/8" layers in between the frame and (staple)cover in a grille cloth to match the room. I put these panels in strategic locations along the back wall and first reflection areas. All I can say is it works.
Advice Please : DIY acoustic panels
Hi,
I am looking to build some cheap acoustic panels. Currently I've some carpet runners hanging from the wall directly behind the maggies 1.6 . The carpets are butt ugly and everyone while commenting on how good the system sounds, never fail to mention how bad the carpets look.
I would to build some panels that can be hung from the wall and can absorb the sound produced by the back panel of the maggie and also that are easy on the eyes. Hopefully I should be able to buy the material from the local HD or lowes.
Can anyone who have built such panels, tell me how to go about it?
Thanks in advance,
C
