I had trouble finding the 703. Not carried by big-box stores, and I called all the HVAC installers in the area to no avail.
Ebay was the answer.

I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what?
I'm investigating the acoustics of my room. I have been doing REW scans and analyzing them with the help of a member here. I've played with sub and speaker positioning and settings to see how this affects measurement and what it sounds like. I've reached out to GIK Acoustics to get their advice.
But, because I wanted to just try some experiments before (possibly) spending a lot with GIK and/or other companies, I bought 6 OC 703 panels (2" x 24" x 48") to try, temporarily around my room, singly or in combination. I might even make my own panels if that seems worthwhile.
My question is: What are some useful experiments to do with the panels and where in the measurements might I see some changes?
Again, this is not to replace getting expert help; this is a way for me to start to learn by interactive experience how my room is affecting the sound. So, good things to try?

Hilde, I went the 703 route and tuned by ear as well. For aesthetics, you can frame with wood; or in my case, I just wrapped them like Christmas presents in fabric and used a 3M spray adhesive to secure fabric to fiberglass. I am definitely not a DIY-inclined person, and somehow they came out good enough to satisfy my wife for placement in the living room. You can see details on my system page. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/4844#&gid=1&pid=8 |
