What would YOU do?

OK, This is the layout of my studio space:

Behind the mic stand those are mattresses covered in the black fabric.. I would like to get rid of them as it doesn't look very professional at all.

I have SIX 2" 2x4' panels of 703 to use, and I am willing to get/build whatever else is needed. My goal is to make some sort of vocal booth that will look somewhat professional and serve some sonic purpose, mostly to help deaden the area around the mic for a drier vocal sound. It also cannot be a permanent installation because I don't know how long I can be at this location.

My first thought is to have a semi-circle of wall behind the mic and maybe putting the panels of 703 inside of it....? Thoughts?

You need much more bass trapping, plus absorption at the side-wall and ceiling reflection points. You should also rotate the setup 90 degrees counter-clockwise so the speakers fire the longer way down the room. More here:

Thanks for the advice Ethan! Any more thoughts anyone? I'm trying to get something that looks professional and serves its purpose in giving me a more dry sound at the mic.
