Calling all room treatment type specialists...


I bought one of those great Maxell Tape commercial posters...remember the guy sitting in his chair with the speakers seemingly blowing in his face.  Well, I don't want to put up a standard glass/plastic frame, because I think it would look a little cheesy in my room, AND b/c I don't want a hard reflective surface in the general area where the picture would. 

I would like to consider whether that poster can be adhered to a material that in turn is the top of a sound absorption panel.  I've been making my own absorbers for years with Roxul, wood framing, and the covering material of my choice (easily passes air through the fabric).  But what if I try to adhere that great poster to the face of the panel?  My limited understanding says it will reflect higher frequencies, and allow lower frequencies to pass through.  Perfect.

Any thoughts on whether the poster will be more reflective than absorptive? And what would you use to adhere the poster.  Spray on adhesive, maybe? 

Thanks.

Not every inch of wallspace needs to be treated. There are such things as negative space and reflective areas in the room.
See if there is a workable spot to hang that awesome poster and get it framed.

If you physically try to spray-mount the poster to a panel, you run the risk of ruining the paper.
+1 Erik. Would work better from a stylistic aspect to have a series of printed panels, rather than only one panel.
As I stated earlier, the walls do need some areas of reflection and diffusion, otherwise the room will be over-damped. The poster may work between acoustic panels.
It takes some skill working with spray-mount. Glad it worked out for you.
(Keep the humidity out of the room).
