i bought raw materials (OC-703 and Jute Burlap) from atsacoustics.com to treat the big room (formerly known as the 'echo box') at a nightclub i started working at a couple months ago.
i ordered 18 2x4 panels (3 cases), and made 24 panels of 2'x2' and 24 panels of 2'x1', cutting them to size with a simple electric carving knife and a metal straight edge. As i had a very large space to treat, roughly 1,000 square feet and all cement walls, i wanted to spread it out as much as i could, hence cutting to smaller pieces.
cost after shipping and with adhesive came to just under $400. they shipped it incredibly fast.
the room sounds great now. i can actually EQ the room with precision now , where as before it was like EQing with a sledgehammer. and at the end of the night no one's ears are ringing. Which says alot because the sound system is incredibly loud.
i highly recommend them if you are on a budget as their prices for the raw materials alone are competitive.
its not necessarily "the same thing for less" though. Burlap is not as visually stunning a fabric as what Glenn is using, but it definitely gets the job done and can look suitable. Sometimes it just comes down to taste.
