Acoustic treatment

[Martin]

I'm looking for creative design ideas to treat a room primarily with shades
of gray --rather than dull single-tone solid gray. This can include black
accents, of course.

I'd appreciate a link to photos of any examples.

Many of the suppliers seem to offer lots of shades of gray. Take a
look at: RPG, EchoBusters, Auralex, ASC/Tubetrap, etc. Most offer
Guilford FR701 Fabrics (examples at:
http://www.acousticsciences.com/c-swatch.htm).

For a consulting firm with lots of info and links, see:

Kal answered the question you asked, and I'll answer the question you didn't
ask. :->)

Acoustic treatment varies greatly in terms of effectiveness. So just as you
wouldn't choose a loudspeaker or power amplifier based entirely on its
color, nor should you do that with acoustic treatment. What matters most is
how well a particular treatment absorbs, especially at low frequencies.

Didn't ask 'cause that's not where I'm challenged. :-(
But, thanks for caring.

The acoustics I got down. No problems there. I've done a bit of work in
the field. With that set, the specification is to use black, white and
shades in-between. And so, my question is about interior design. I might
just have to go to an interior designer for guidance. I was hoping that
there might be examples of monochromatic rooms on the WWW just to get some
ideas.

Try www.avsforum.com and look at the gallery of systems.

I'm in the processing of building a theater, here's a link to my gallery on
the AVS Forum.

Not sure how "creative" it is, but I like it.
