Living Room Echo Problem
Residential acoustics are always a little bit tricky because of the aesthetic that a room needs to maintain. Taking the echo out of the room is easy, but making the panel installation look intentional is generally the catch […]

At the lumber store we have 4 x 8 sheets of 1/2″ sound barrier – which I was going to make batons on the back and hang from eye-hooks in ceiling – with about 2.5″ between ceiling and sound board.
