I was wanting to treat my whole rear wall (behind speakers, not my head)in my dedicated listening room. I have a set of french doors behind left speaker, and a closet door (where I keep equipment)to the right of the right speaker. I am currently using 2 - 13 inch tube traps in corners behind speakers. I also have a rug hung on wall between speakers, as well as 3 asc sound planks above doors, and 2 in middle of speakers. I would (and my wife) like to have a cleaner look and wondered if I could just get some thin rockwool and cover over in batting and burlap and hang on wall completely covering it?
I wanted to put up drape over windows on french doors but wife didn't like that idea.
The wall behind speakers is an interior wall and is not load bearing. I doubt it is even full of insulation. Would I be better off removing drywall (yikes I can hear the wife complaining about the dust and mess), and putting in fiberglass as per John Risch's wall panel recipe, then batting and burlap? I realize I would lose some LF absorption from not being away from wall.
Should I just build 3 wall panels and put in place in front of french doors when listening?
I would love an easier fix if possible, but will do what is best for the sound.
Before I hung the rug, I could hear a little upper mid glimmer. Now if I could just make it pretty!
Also if I removed drywall, and did fiberglass could I ditch the tube traps?
Would love your input from those who know!
Thanks,
James Locke
