shaman´s absorber build thread

Hi there,

Some time ago I thought my control room could need some accoustic enhancement in the area of general decay time which was a bit too long + there were some disturbing high frequ. reflections at my mix position since I´m having parallel walls and a pretty small room.

When I was looking around for absorption pannels the products either were

1, insanely expensive or
2, REALLY ugly ( I hate grey foam)

- so after a while of meditating on my accoustical & aesthetical needs I had an idea, which I want to share with you since it

1, sounds great -
2, looks great and last but not least
3, is very affordable.

First we need to buy some frames for our absorbers.


I found some which are about 4cms deep at IKEA.
They are available in several wood colours and in many sizes.


In my case I bought the 40 x 50 cm version in birch wood.
