Wool Blankets as Room treatment


Just noticed Pendelton has some really nice wool blankets that can be hung on the wall.  They even sell the fixturing.  I would assume the wool blanked would have some beneficial properties for a blank wall?

I just recently started room treatments and man am I a believer now. I can see how a modest system with well thought out treatments could outperform a much higher end system in a misconfigured room.

"Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind...."

I just posted a photo in my virtual system: jbuhl’s main system. There was a large painting back there. You can see my corner treatment. There is area rug just below the frame you can’t see. I was going to hang another wood framed painting but now considering the wool blanket idea.

 

How about the wool blanket in the middle with Gik Slat diffusers in either side of blanket?  

@viridian .  They just opened a store here in Boulder and I went in and tried on a shirt.  Still very high quality garment with a nice fit.

@dweller .  If I do it I am going to order the blanket and the fixture from the store.

@james633  Yeah not going after anything really sophisticated.  Room is just a big echo chamber now and just trying to achieve subtle improvements on bare painted drywall and not make is look like a recording studio.  

I like the idea of the GIK diffuser panels alongside the wool blanket.   Proly do the wall behind the rig for less than $1K

Wow some great suggestion here. Thank you.

One of the things I did that helped was use QUIK-TUBE® Building Forms and covered them with dimpled fleece fabric and put those in the corners. You can see them in my profile system photos.
 

Made 4 pf them for <$100

Spent better part of the weekend hanging the Pendleton Drum Keeper blanket. Pendleton wanted $300 for wood fixture but I bit the bullet and just made one for a fraction of that but it took some work 😅. Still need positioning work with the rig and maybe stain the wood fixture. Purdy happy with it. Have a look on my profile and let me know what yah think.

 

Drum Keeper

@soix yes good one and yes in think subtle gusseting of sound stage by dialing back the high’s a tad.

@ghdprentice still considering GIK diffusers panels on the side as they are relatively affordable.
