Over the years I have looked into and added some basic room treatments to my HT. Previous absorber panels and a QRD diffuser were some of the items I added early on. However, I was well aware that my first efforts did not meet the requirements to be truly effective.
I recently decided to repaint my media room and that led to the idea of building some really effective bass traps and diffusers. One item I really did not want to work with again was fiberglass. I don't like working with it and have misgivings about hanging it all over an interior room in my home. So after quite a bit of research, I stumbled onto the UltraTouch denim insulation.
Research into denim's properties and cost made it a great candidate to use for my super chunk traps and absorber panels.
I had to order quite a bit of it, but it was the only way to get enough to make all the treatments. I decided on the R30 material that comes in 2'x4' pieces.
That material is just fantastic to work with! It can be a little bit dusty, but with careful handling, it is not an issue. The only difficulty I found was how to cut the pieces and end up with clean edges. After trying many items and ideas, including those from UltraTouch, I found that making a DIY 'press' and using a sharp knife is all you need.
