I took over a job where all the speakers in the theater were located behind faux suede acoustic panels. The panels didn't have any foam or insulation in them, just the cover fabric.
We replaced velvet throughout the hall with a much thinner fabric, made with a pattern to match the existing velvet. This was the client's brother's theater mentioned above.
There was an access panel of the same material in front of the center speaker. We sold them on our expertise and on the need for the redo by putting on a DVD... and opening the access panel in front of the center speaker. They were stunned at how good the center sounded! It was a go!
