Re: If these work well at low freqs, it will make domestic life much easier...

The Cathedral Panels will be easy to apply in your room and you will get good results.

It is difficult (though not impossible) to mount the Panels to the ceiling; might be easier to mount additional panels near the floor (or just lay one on the floor near the corner, if you want to go for more than two in a corner, though two of these per corner is very powerful already.

With respect to the use of other acoustic treatment products, yes, you can definitely take it farther. Because the Cathedral Panels are not absorptive, they can be used with any other type of acoustic treatment product. I have had particularly good results with the Shakti Hallographs, one of the products that does not always play well with absorbing/diffusing products.

Since the Cathedral Panels are particulary effective on 20-200Hz, which is the most difficult area to deal with acoustically, and would traditionally require the biggest panels or rounds, other types of acoustic products, most of which don't do anything under 200-250Hz, become all the more effective.

Over at The Cable Company (affiliated with Ultra Systems) they have just begun a three part email piece on room acoustics. You can view the first installment at

and if you want to get emails of the next two parts you can send them an email or complete the guestbook on that website.
