Acoustone Speaker Cloth Complete a Family Room
This Acoustone speaker cloth installation shows how far you can go with a little craftiness and some hand tools.
Application Introduction
Like a lot of new construction these days, this home came with built-in cabinets in the family room and space for a TV. The home-owner mounted the center-channel speaker above the TV enclosure and cut away the bookshelves to make room for the left and right speakers, while preserving an opening just large enough for a 42-inch screen.
Treatment Provided
Custom speaker grilles are an easy way to hide otherwise lackluster carpentry. The frames were precisely fabricated by cutting both ends of pre-measured square dowels at 45-degree angles using a miter box and joining the pieces with wood glue and finishing nails. To complete the grilles, the home-owner stretched fabric around each frame like a canvas and attached them to the back with a household stapler using Acoustone speaker cloth, which is a sound-transparent grille cloth to match the color of the adjacent fireplace. Ball-and-socket-style clips hold the speaker grilles to the shelves behind and above.
Quantitative Results
"This versatile yet modest system has subtly transformed our house, filling it with music from two zones and sending the sofa courtside at Staples Center when the Lakers are on TNT. We couldn't be happier with the results."
