During my theater construction, I've accumulated a large pile of scrap wood, mainly from trimming 2x4 studs down to size. Today I looked down at the pile, and it reminded me of the RPG skyline diffusor panels as outlined in the article about WSR's Holosonic Theatre in the August 2001 issue of Widescreen Review.
So I got to thinking. If I glued all those small pieces to a 4' x 8' sheet of thin plywood or sheetrock, then I'd have my own skyline diffusor panel to attach to the ceiling.
I like the idea, but I'm trying to decide the best placement. Should I mount the entire sheet to the ceiling between the screen and seating area, or DIRECTLY over the seating area? Or should I cut the panel into smaller pieces and mount them on the side walls?
Or is this a goofy idea (I've had many of those) that's unlikely to be of any sonic benefit? Besides the skyline panel(s), my theater won't have much of anything in the way of diffusion except for shelving on the lower rear wall.
I'd be grateful for any opinions/suggestions.
