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.
