Re: cork wall treatments

I believe this will do more to dampen your walls than any sort of acoustic absorption. It may absorb a small amount of energy in a very narrow frequency range (probably somewhere in the mid to upper-bass regions) but I doubt if it will absorb much (if any) middle/upper-middle frequencies and almost certainly not any highs.

I like the live end/dead end approach where you place absorptive treatments (acoustic foam, bass traps, heavy draperies, thick wall tapestries and/or decorative rugs, etc.) on the front, front corner and side walls of the room extending a bit beyond the first reflection point. You can then either use purpose made diffusers or knickknack/hobby display shelves and/or bookshelves with books spaced randomly apart on the back wall for the live/diffuse end.

Hope this helps.
