C I N E M A A U D I O S O C I E T Y. O R G 33 Hang your panels by flipping up the binder clip wire bails on the back of the panel and leaving the front wire bails sitting flat on the face. This will keep the bail from sticking out from the wall and having things snag on it. Now hook the back wire bails on the three Command hooks. Repeat with each panel you want to install and you're done— good, fast, and cheap. When it's time for you to move, remove the panels and slip the hook off its bracket. The bracket comes off by tugging down on the adhesive's tab. No residue is left behind after it pops off the wall. You can reuse the panel, the binder clips, and even the hooks (if you replace the Command adhesive strip). This cure gives you a better sonic signature in your room by removing flutter echoes, excessive reverberation, and the early reflections that give the room that signature hollow sound. One last thing to consider is putting your speakers and sub on Sorbothane isolation hemispheres. Doing so will clean up your sound, especially in the low end, and reduce the amount of sound migrating to other parts of your home through its physical structure. Once this vibration energy makes it into your room's physical structure, your walls vibrate sympathetically and radiate sound. This in turn does some serious damage to your room's low-end response. Sorbothane is a very high- performance, inexpensive vibration isolation material that will keep your speaker cabinets' vibrations out of your room structure. Sorbothane is available at IsolateIt.com (https:// w w w . i s o l a t e i t . c o m / c o l l e c t i o n s / sorbothane-bumpers). It's important that the Sorbothane is matched to the weight of your speaker. If you're unsure, the proprietor of IsolateIt. com, RJ, is there to help. When I mentioned putting together this article, he even offered a 10% discount using the code AUDIOVIDEO10. Please note that I do not make money from any recommendations made in this article. In the end, this treatment plan is designed to get you up and working quickly in a good, acoustically effective environment with minimal expense and installation time. Removing the Command strip is straightforward and simple.
