I built some simple sound absorbers today for my friend's guitar teaching room. (It was loud with too much room echo) Got some pics some of you might enjoy as I know pics speak volumes when making your own.
Materials
1-4'x8' sheet of 1/4" luan board
1-16" x 96" MDF board, 3/4" thick
1- 4x8 sheet Knauf 2" fiberboard
2" drywall screws- for frame
1" drywall screws- for luan back
4 yards of blue upolstery fabric- (similar to a burlap weave)
3/8" staples
We built 4, 2'x4" panels.
Specs on the fiberboard will knock down 500hz to 5k and reduced amounts off either end of these numbers.
Basically we built trays with the MDF and luan, and dropped inthe fiberboard, wrapped it in cloth and stapled it to the back. They look really good and clean. the lines are actually better than they look inthe final photo...
He plans to hang some from the ceiling using eye hooks and wire to lower the freq response, and also put them on the walls.
