RE: With all due respect…

Two things about the Cathedral Panels. In my experience:
1. They "kick in" at the frequencies where there are standing waves in the given room. Standing wave frequencies will depend primarily on dimensions of the room. The waterfall plot referenced in the previous posts exhibited standing waves below 40hZ, and so this is where the "after" plot showed improvement. This is called out in the text next to the waterfall plots.

2. They are very good children in the sense that they play well with others. They are complementary with other acoustic treatment products, whether this is traditional absorbing panels and traps, or diffusers, or three other products I find useful: the Shakti Hallographs, Synergistic Research Acoustic ART, and the old RoomLens.

For someone looking for an all out room-tuning, acoustical solution they are not a be-all, end-all product, but because they work on standing waves, and at the deepest bass frequencies, often the most difficult acoustic areas to address and requiring the most and biggest traditional "traps," they are a very good place to start. And if someone is only going to do one thing in a room, or isn't willing/able to fill the room with other types of acoustic treatments, this is a good, domestically acceptable "50% solution" where there is no prospect for going for 100% all out acoustic treatment.

I just think this is a very good and innovative product.
