Make Your Own Acoustic Panels

[michaelcutrer]

I made 8 panels following your guide. Came out to be about roughly $23 per panel and they came out looking great.

Just a reminder everything started as a DIY before being mass produced by machines.

the enshitification of every product available has made me get into DIY more and more

[Arnyew]

I followed your tutorial and they turned out spectacular!

Made my own after I saw your video. Made them a little different but it gave me the confidence to do my first ever fabric work.
It was super easy and the results are amazing!

I’ve got the DIY video saved for reference as I’m currently building a home cinema. As a resident of the UK, it’s incredibly helpful to have such easy conversion

[devmakeitrev]

Exactly the reassurance I needed. Thank you sir.

I made 6 of these panels, with your tutorial 2 years ago, they look fantastic and are super effective 😎
I would recommend it to anyone

I jist made my first 4 today! Came out beautiful . Followed your guidance. I went black, look cool. Just another 5 to go. Cost around £22 per panel and took me roughly and hour to build each one. 🤘🏻

If you’re looking for great sound absorption, DIY Perks has a vid where he makes panels out of thrift store towels and tests the difference between a normal panel and his.

Hey! Such interesting timing that you uploaded this short, I’ve been watching the original video on repeat for ages trying to psych myself up into actually buying the materials and cracking on with this, and I’m actually going to next week

I have a question for you, of you were doing it again, in what way do you reckon you would be more adventurous with the fabric? Do you think you would still go to the same provider? I’m considering trying to get custom prints from them, but I’m not sure if that’d actually be worth however much extra It’d be

It's crazy to see what the power of sound can do after a few years cuz I imagine there's not a lot of people or objects being bumped into this thing or manipulating those panels at all and they still gain that much damage which I mean that could just be bad quality but even then that's crazy

i am coming back to that DIY video of yours because i want to make my own panels for over a year now... the problem is the insulation. in germany, the denim is very expensive. hemp wool is not avialable. the only option is sheep-wool-insulation, but as it has a density of only 18 kg/m3. It may not be dense enough. As you said in your video: A density between over 20 is good, above 30 is great.

I used your video to make mine and they are solid!

[vecchiuz]

Thank you very much, you are the best!
May i ask If you know Basotect?? I m thinking to use it as absorbtion Material.
It cost a bit more, but still way cheaper as buyed panels.

How did you cut the foam? When I try to cut that kind of insulation I get a messy cut all the times

[Byelmacetas]

im building my studio and the day the video came out was saved

[vampcaff]

The most important aspect of an audio panel, the appearance. 😂😂😂

[anhellehna]

Nice design!! They all in black and lined up on the wall look so sexy!! I'm planing to go DIY for my acoustic panels too. However, I've just a few concerns about this design.

How does insulation material sits on the thin bottom side? Doesn't it bend the thin wood due to the gravity?

Furthermore, I don't think that this design is applicable for cloud panels being hung up upside down on the ceiling, because of the same concern that the insulation material would sag from the front side this time.

Would you use these panels as clouds too? If yes, how would you modify them to prevent the insulation from sagging?

Please, let me know if I worry unnecessarily. According to your opinion, I will either choose this design for all of the panels, or go for a more reliable design for clouds (maybe for all).

I'm about to build some and I'd really appreciate some help on the best insulation materials to use - specific brands / models that are easily available to buy in the UK. Do you know how deep your traps were, what density you used and what the flow resistivity was? I believe low density is what you want when building thicker traps (impossible to get in the UK in mineral wool or fibreglass) - the thicker the trap the lower the density for optimal performance.

The advice says to use the pourous absorber calculator and choose the material in Pa.s/m2 depending on trap thickness - very difficult information to get. 10cm deep trap - 14000 Pa * s / m², 20cm deep 6000 Pa * s / m², 30cm deep trap 5000 Pa * s / m², 40cm deep trap - 3500 Pa * s / m². I'm thinking I need around 5000-6000 Pa * s / m². Is flow resistivity crucial? Thanks very much.
