Acoustic Room Treatment using Natural Wool
Today at 06:55:55
 
Hello there,

I finally got a system up and running in my 13.88'x14.66'x8.27' listening room: Omega Super 8 XRS with a SEUFO2 and digital front end.

I have some curtains on one wall, but most of the room is pretty bare on the walls and the sound is rather harsh and needs some help. I'm looking to DIY room treatment and want to go with natural absorbing materials (instead of rockwool, fiberglass, foam, etc).

I ended up buying a box of 2'x4' acoustic wool panels from Havelock and a 30 lb bag of loose fill wool. My half-baked plan was to build 2'x4' frames, put a wool panel in front, pack the rest with the loose wool, and wrap everything in a breathable cotton fabric.

I signed up for a couple free consults from different acoustic companies and the feedback is to go heavy on the bass trapping.

Curious if anyone else has worked with natural wool for acoustic treatments, or knows any good resources to help with this project. From what I can tell, if I do make these frames, it sounds like the deeper the better (7-9" deep).

As always, thanks in advance for any help and advice.
