Hello Everyone,
I am really pleased I stumbled across this forum. I am about halfway through constructing a dedicated HT. I am shooting 200W - 7.1 with dual subs in a room size 26 x 16ft.
I have researched all I can with regard acoustic panels....absorbtive,reflective,diffusive, and I am now constructing the acoustic panels as the prefab ones are just way to expensive for my liking. The panels are covering the walls all the way around and forms part of the decor. If I use the 6lb absorbtive fiberglass behind the fabric in all the panels, there would not be much reflective surface left.
-What material do the specialists use for reflective panels?
-Here is the real confusion for me, what is the formula to maintain a balance in the room. I cannot seem to get this info anywhere.
-Do I need to have the room sound tested?
-Is such a tool available for the rookie?
-Is it a necessity?
Thank you in advance to everyone,
JanH
