I put some acoustic panels up...£140 for 4.

And the result was very good...a noticeable difference in the room, my mixes weren't bad...but I feel this helps me do them a little better.

Playing mixes in the car sound much improved I think.

I intended to make some, and probably could have saved few quid, but someone was making these locally so gave them a go.

Quality is pretty good, the timbers are a little warped so 2 of them dont hang very well, Ive stuck some extra fixings in.

These are 1200mm x 600mm x 50mm....Im going to make a couple myself 100mm deep to hang from the ceiling.



Theres a fourth one on the wall behind me..

Forgive my naivety, how are the panels made?

spark240

These are pretty basic, 50mm x 50mm timber frames, 50mm Rockwool acoustic grade and a hessian covering. ...simple but very effective.

Excellent, I thought so, I was looking for hessian covering on eBay earlier today. 

Cheers. 

P.S. nice set up

spark240

These ones actually have thin hardboard on the back to maintain the frame shape and keep the rock wool inside .

A hell of a difference... and more once I put the ceiling panels up!...

The spike at 4K was a oil filled rad I had in there...

“Impulso” it’s just an app on the phone, doubt it’s accurate...but... it shows a difference between before and after fitting the panels...

Have a look at:

more of an accurate system and can help you position the panels in the right places...

I made some from cork and flexible ply, with a curve.
