monosuede vs burlap for acoustic panels

[primomusic]

Will be needing about 45 acoustic panels (High freq/basstraps) was wondering which would not only more acoustic transparent but also more appealing.. Have heard of Burlap not being the better looking one. thanks

I suspect burlap is more open, but I also doubt it will matter so I would use the one you prefer I use burlap(jute) in my studio and it looks fine(to me), but I do like the look of the suede Auralex stuff too. There's ONE opinion anyway

last room I did we found a deal on flame retarded upholstery wool from a company that did privet jet interiors
looked good and was cheap for what it was, so look around for a deal

guilford fabric also looks nice but are very expensive and isn't the monosuede better looking.. Just saying cause I saw a pic of a ready acoustic panel which is standard on their panels unless you order other wise. must say looked nice, and is alot cheaper than guilford

Rock wool right?

[Craig F]

depends on the look you going for

Sonically there isn't much of a difference between the two. Check out http://MixmasteredAcoustics.com if you are looking for custom built acoustic panels.

Good Luck!
