Hi guys

I am not an expert-been doing my own tacking room-6.5 metres by 4.6 metres, ceiling 8.5 foot high. Initially treated every second wall, and covered entire ceiling with 50 mm foam. Great drum room-but too dead generally.

So I have been building QRF Diffusors myself, in 600 x 600 squares, out of pine wood. Bluddy heavy-need to put beams up in trusses to hold. I have got 7 up, another 4 to go up tomorrow. Now, although the ceiling is only 8.5 foot, I have found there is more clarity and air.

Singers previously winged about the room-saying they struggled to sing, now they are finding it more pleasant.

So, although not a high ceiling, I am getting real good results. Planning on putting up 17 squares on ceiling, and then some on the main separation wall from control room.

I recommend it, but even DOI aint cheap-wood, time, glue, fixing beams and threads, stains.

Cheers
