OK, this seems straightforward from searching AVS and studying theater wall treatment...
FRONT WALL: Acoustical treatment (1" Insul-Shield) floor-to-ceiling.
CEILING: No acoustical treatment - none, nada.
FLOOR: Thick, plush carpet is fine.
But here's where it gets confusing, and I need help...
SIDEWALLS
A) Acoustical treatment (1" Insul-Shield) from floor to ear-height (44"), with 16oz polyester batting above.
--or--
B) Acoustical treatment (1" Insul-Shield) from floor-to-ceiling on all 1st reflective surfaces.
These 2 theories seem to contradict each other. So which is it?
BTW, for those searching for Insul-Shield type product, here are the substitutes which seem to have identical acoustical absorption ratings:
Owens Corning Select Sound Black Acoustic Board
Owens Corning Fiberglas 703 Series duct insulation.
Johns Manville Insul-Shield
Johns Manville Linacoustic Permacoate rolls.
Certainteed Certpro Acoustaboard Black
Knauf Duct board EI-475
Knauf Duct liner EM
...personally, I found the Knauf EI-475 easiest to find (4' x 10' sheets @ $40) from a general heating and air conditioning company.
