Movie theatre wall

I saw this wall design in the movie theatre the other night. I am wondering if this can be uses in a live room design or in any studio design. The sketch is mearly the idea. I left the surface texture and dimentions out of the sketch. They could be............... whatever.

sure, why not. The wall is both unparallell with any other surface and probably gives you a pretty good control of standing waves and flutter in a small space. It'll not dampen anything so perhaps it would be a better idea to build an isolated wall (if you need isolation) and then build slot resonators or something that's got well documented befits and is easier to build. a :arrow:

Theres two distinctions you need to clarify... was it an actuall wall, ie, gypboard, or was it acoustical treatment. My guese it was the latter... in which case, i've seen the "louvre" effect done in many places to treat room reflections. I didn't search on this forum for more technical reasons, (which i'm sure if you did search, you'd find them) however, i found some pictures of something that may be similar. This is pictures from my church's construction, and you can see the builders installing those panels, each is essentially a fabric wrapped 2'x8' panel of OC 703 (i'm not positive on thickness, I think variably 2" or 4") hung on the aluminum rails. each of the empty pockets in the wall recieved those, to note however, the lower pockets recieved flush mounted panels, not louvred.

Actually the walls I saw in the movie theatre were hard, like painted gypsum. There we no traps or absorbers at all on the walls that I could tell.
