have a bump on me this is hands down the best video I have seen on GIK products very well presented congratulations sure you can build your own cheaper if you cant afford them, I hate it when people criticise someone who can as the saying goes buy cheap buy dear I would love to have seen another video showing the before and after results using REW Regards Andy
Glad you found it useful. I've recently treated the live room in the studio, I'm going to do a video of some recording with and without the GIK acoustic panels...
I see ppl putting speakers high up on the wall, on the right and left front channels, does go plugged into the same channels of front right and left? an addition to the floor standing right and left?
They are very well packaged. I got some recently and was sweating like a pig by the time I got them unpacked. It's ten times more work to unpack than to hang, but that's a good thing since they aren't going to be damaged when you get them.
Great thanks! I filmed a video today recording in my live room with and without the acoustic panels. Should be up in the next few weeks. Thanks for subscribing, if there’s anything you’d like content on - please let me know. 😀
Loving those acoustic panels. Very classy. Wish I'd thought of better options like that for my studio. I went for mostly foam panels, and also built four rockwool-based bass traps for the annoying low frequency tangential modes. They work very well considering the homebrew construction.
Thanks L J. The control room has worked out really well, mixes are translating really well. I feel confident that what I am hearing in the space will sound similar everywhere else which is making mixing tons easier... 😀
Hey Gary. not sure exactly what you mean sorry? The depths are different on each bit of the reflector. The overall depth of the Q7d is 155mm. Happy to measure anything of you need more info... :-) gikacoustics.co.uk/product/gik-acoustics-q7d-diffusor/
@@davespeakmanmusic I see that I wasn't clear in my question. Thx for replying, what I meant was how deep are each well's and the width. Also thickness of the wound. Thx .
I have built quite a few panels over the years. The easiest way to do it is with metal corner brackets to construct a simple frame the same size as your rock wool bale. You need a really good staple gun to cover them properly. Simple enough but the GIK ones are good value for money when you include the time in. I bought a load more for the live room too. They’re great.
@@davespeakmanmusic I checked the link you mentioned and it seems like GIK has foam based also on which they pasted diffuser mdf board onto the foam. And that's it they have data for efficacy too
very nice looking etc and probably the do work well, but i dont think you can call them bass traps. What is the absorption coefficient at low frequencies? I think for a broad frequency absorption and some ''diffusion'' they must be good, but for the low frequencies you need mass, density,volume or and phase cancelation via pressure management, Helmholtz, membranes etc
@@davespeakmanmusic i was just looking there, yeah they call them bass traps, but they also have some other types that are actual bass traps that are working from as low as 30- 40 hz and have a ''peak'' around 100. Those can tackle the problems at low frequencies, the nodes of the room etc. For those you have, they dont show any measurement below 100hz (the bass area) but they work well at the ''low mids'' so maybe by eliminating a bit the second harmonic of the lows you can feel a better low end definition. How did you experienced the change in that areas? Nice studio by the way. I will move out to a new apartment and im going to built a room there, so now i am melting my eyes in front of the pc screen to find solutions and ideas
To get real bass trap efficiency it’s better to spend a little more an have a subwoofer in each corner. Using insulation for bass trapping would require almost 5 feet of thickmess in all corners.
If you have time to build them, you can. They do look awesome tho - better than any home built ones I’ve seen. I have a mixture of ones I’ve built and GIK ones. Having the GIK ones all down one wall looks slick. If I factor in £30 per hour build time, there’s not much in it.
If you have time, basic acoustic panels are easy enough - sure. The diffusers would be more difficult as would the panels with diffusers on the front. The GIK panels are good value for money, I can definitely earn more money in the time it would take me to build them than they cost (after subtracting materials). I have built a few panels myself but actually went on to buy more panels from GIK as I was so happy with them and didn’t have time to build them myself. The panels with diffusers on the face look amazing too.
davespeakmanmusic I'm not convinced that the diffuser panels actually do anything. They are nice patterns but they aren't mathematically designed. I can buy similar Cnc cut sheets from my hardware store for about $40 I might whack a couple on some of my panels and see if they do anything. I built 14 panels in one day and a curved panel diffuser in a day but I do have a well equipped workshop and I enjoy making things.
davespeakmanmusic I was going to but honestly, there's so many videos on the subject already that I don't think I can be bothered. I'm not sure I have anything new to add :/
@@officialWWM I’d love to see, there’s no such thing as too much DIY acoustic panel videos lol. I’m always curious what material and fabrics people use and fhe build in general. Do you use stonewool/viberglass/denim or perhaps something else? And what type of fabrics do use use for the cover/ type of wood for the frames?

Please visit my website at www.davespeakman.co.uk to see the full spec of the studio...
I just bought very similar GIK products. Thanks for the video!
I really enjoyed this video. You seem like a very honest and gentle man.
Thanks!
What effect did these panels have on your sound quality?
It controls the decay time of the room and gives a tighter recording with less bleed between mics.
Will putting a couple of these panels at the side of my tv help reduce tv noise and vibration to neighbors wall
Not really. This is acoustic treatment. Sound proofing requires you to add mass to the wall.

I’d imagine that’s for ATMOS
Thank you for posting this video. Very interesting and informative. Awesome 😎👏👏👏
Glad it has been useful to people. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away...
Looks nice! Thanks for sharing. I like your humble and straight forward presentation. Well done. Cheers.
Thank you, hope it was useful

They definitely pack them well!
Waw ! Top stuff.
Loving those monitors too
Thanks man! Can't wait to do our video together. I've got some ideas dude. X
davespeakmanmusic
Looking forward to that
I'm not a musician or singer but do have a couple of GIK acoustics PolyFusors in my hybrid cinema/music room. Subbed to your channel 👌🏾

Yea, they're amazing. I have loads of self made stuff too, but the GIK stuff is better than anything else I've seen...
I enjoyed your video. Room looks great! Would liked to hear a bit more about the acoustic difference before and after.
Thanks L J. The control room has worked out really well, mixes are translating really well. I feel confident that what I am hearing in the space will sound similar everywhere else which is making mixing tons easier... 😀
What color combination did you pick?
They are a light grey, the colour is called "glass"...
Thx for doing a nice video .
A question about Q7's .
What are the depths of each well's .
Thx .
Hey Gary. not sure exactly what you mean sorry? The depths are different on each bit of the reflector. The overall depth of the Q7d is 155mm. Happy to measure anything of you need more info... :-)

@@davespeakmanmusic I see that I wasn't clear in my question. Thx for replying, what I meant was how deep are each well's and the width.
Also thickness of the wound.
Thx .
The two deepest ones are 120mm, there are two that are 50mm, two 20mm and one 3mm. Each bit is 60mm wide. :-)
6:40 you are holding diffuser, does it have wooden frame around it or it's just plain foam and what's the material in the front?? mdf board?
They aren’t foam, they’re mineral wool in a wooden frame covered in material. The front diffuser is made of MDF...
@@davespeakmanmusic okay I was trying to build for me, so asked because building wooden frame is tiresome. 😂
I have built quite a few panels over the years. The easiest way to do it is with metal corner brackets to construct a simple frame the same size as your rock wool bale. You need a really good staple gun to cover them properly. Simple enough but the GIK ones are good value for money when you include the time in. I bought a load more for the live room too.

Hello. GIK call them bass traps, not me! I think the information you asked for is on GIK's website... :-)

I built some corner traps, didn't cost much. The GIK stuff is really nice, but you could build them easily enough if you have the time...
To get real bass trap efficiency it’s better to spend a little more an have a subwoofer in each corner. Using insulation for bass trapping would require almost 5 feet of thickmess in all corners.
They work but they're just too expensive for what they are
If you have time to build them, you can. They do look awesome tho - better than any home built ones I’ve seen. I have a mixture of ones I’ve built and GIK ones. Having the GIK ones all down one wall looks slick. If I factor in £30 per hour build time, there’s not much in it.
@@davespeakmanmusic That's what I mean, essentially you’re paying way more for looks
Yes they cost a lot, I have ordered some Panels and Bass traps from Ashwood Acoustic Panels. Amazing quality & finish, and a lot cheaper than these.
6:31 where's the video link?

8:07 for performance review
Going to do a video soon of my live room before and after acoustic treatment...
davespeakmanmusic awesome! I’m gonna get some diffusers and then do the same
@@laurabrown3508 no.
Wow i like you acoustic foam mate, cant afford that
These panels aren't made from foam. They're denser material which means they absorb lower frequencies... :-)
Hi kuya, I found this company in the UK .. their acoustic panels are truly awesome! 📈📉 www.goldnhouracoustic.com/
You can build them yourself for a third of the price!
