Awesome chennel! Just doing a bit of a deep dive on you videos. How do you determine the size and depth of the acoustic panels? And how are the width of gaps between the wood slats chosen?
This client in particular was trying to achieve a certain visual look as a primary goal, with the acoustics as a secondary goal. We go over everything during the consulting stage with each client according to their needs and budget before we begin each build. Most times especially for home studios, people are looking for a blend between aesthetics and acoustic function. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more!
Looks great. What are the dimensions you used for each wood slat? Did you get that wood from home depot by chance? Also, where can I find these lighting products? Thanks!
These wood slats were 1x2 inch 8 foot lengths of pine, they weren't from Home Depot but they should have something similar or equivalent. The lights and track were off Amazon. Thanks for watching!
Hi there, what should I be looking for to get such a large piece of fabric like this? Does it come in a large roll? Trying to search it online to see where I can get something similar. Thanks
Yes the fabric comes on a roll. Most fabric standard width is 58 inches or so, and will come on a roll where you can buy however many yards or meters you may need. Thanks for watching
The final project looks beautiful. But kinda defeats the purpose of sound absorbing paneling when you cover them almost entirely with sound reflective solid wood slats.
Would the wood be enough to deflect the sound or would you through in absorption as well? We are trying to build this in our living room to keep noise from entering our kids room behind the living room
This whole wall behind the fabric is 2inch of absorption, you can frame the wall with a thicker wood if you want to do a thicker layer of absorption. Soundproofing or isolation between rooms is usually handled at the construction stage, but this method would help as well. Thanks for watching!
I'm interested in this design for my living room, but quick question: arent the slats actually reflecting the sound and thus killing the purpose of the rockwool?
The rockwool is still doing its purpose of absorbing more mid/high frequencies. The slats are indeed reflecting sound, however that is desired in this context as the client did not want a very dead sounding mix room. This is a common practice on other acoustic companies panels as well, you may see them labelled as “scatter plates” or “diffuser plates” that are installed on the front face of acoustic panels to add some reflection back into an overly deadened room. Thanks for watching!
@Sound Headquarters . What about the fabric, where did you get it ? What about to place first a layer of Pro-fabric for the lawn around the rockwool, and the final fabric a the end ( double wrapped to avoid any micro fibers on the air). I suffer from allergies, so I was thinking two layers if it doesn't affect the efficacy of the panels. Greetings from Houston,Texas.
The client's objective was to recreate the look of architectural wood slat walls, so that's what we built for him. Sometimes our clients lean more towards aesthetic goals rather than what's optimal for acoustics. Thanks for watching!
This design was built to spec of the clients design, not for what was optimal acoustically necessarily. Different width vertical slats would add more diffusion while still getting the absorption of the wall as well. If you were to build a full wall of the square block style, would offer better diffusion but won't offer absorption. Thanks for watching!
You mean a skyline diffuser and the asnwer is hell no. This slat wall is not good for acoustics as you'd get comb filtering at specific frequencies. I don't like how there is NEVER any room measurement going on by this person. It's not the way to do it.
I would have mitered the corners on the trim pieces on the post (looks much better and professional) , filled the 45 degree bulkhead bass trap full of rock wool (that notch is a big bass problem and doesn't have enough absorption) and used much smaller eyehooks and thin wire to support the ceiling panels (cleaner look). Other than that it looks great.
I hardly ever comment on videos, but this is so informative and helpful and I want to say thank you.
I really appreciate that thank you! Thanks for watching
Great video. What is the black fabric you are using? Any particular brand?
Thank you! This was just a polyester blend. Any brand will work. Thanks for watching!
Would Trianglar cut slats save the functionality of these panels?

Love these!!! What side rockwool are you usuing please?
2X4 feet, 1.5 inch thick comfortboard 80

What fabric type did you use to cover the sound insulation?
I think it was black.
Don't you get cancelling issues in the sound ? Try to place slats not even . You will get a better result .

i dont love that you ran an extension cord behind a permanent structure.
Is this better than classic diffuser? ( one with wooden cubes)

Thank you for your answer. I learned a lot of things from you and appreciate that

A "hole saw" has several teeth like a saw. You are referring to a spade bit.
