I'm almost done with my dedicated movie room and desperately need help with acoustic treatments. I don't know terribly much about the subject but I have been reading up for the last month or so. All I'm really looking to do is pick the low hanging fruit - nothing fancy. I want to handle the basic stuff that's easy, economical, and will hopefully give me a fair sound improvement.
This is my plan so far but I'm completely open to any advice that can be offered.
First make "superchunk" type bass traps (17 x 17 x 24) using either 703 or mineral wool. Since the entry to the room is in one of the corners I will only be able to do this in three of them. The next step in my plan is to make 24 x 48 x 2 panels for the side and rear walls. As you can see in the drawing below (light blue) I'm probably going a bit overboard on them. I suspect I should make some for the ceiling too but I'm not so sure about hanging them, especially with the ceiling fan which will be on full speed. For the large window I want to do some type of drape to cover the entire thing. I'm just not sure what the best material might be or if I should hang any panels in the window opening behind the drape.
Here is the room:
Note: The rear and surround speakers will be mounted on the walls near the ceiling.
Thank you
