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

Yes the diy is so easy and I don't imagine that you need to spend a lot of money.

Simply buy a sheet of compressed fiberglass and wrap some fabric over it - staple - to the back and you have a nice looking, effective absorber.

I wish I could say the same for diffusors.
