Today I am showing you did the acoustic treatment in my studio. These easy acoustic panels are super effective and also double as the best bass traps for small studios. This is the cheapest acoustic treatment that actually works and helps to get a flat response in your room so you can get a mix that translates better. I hope you enjoy this step by step guide to DIY acoustic panels.

Hi Dilby, thanks so much for this information. Just building my studio as we speak. One question. You said three slabsof 40mm rockwool gave a total depth of 160mm. Am I missing something here as it should be 120mm.

@dilbydj Год назад

Yeah, I should have said 4 slabs of rockwool. 160mm + 40mm air gap

@dilbydj 2 года назад

@duc3r_prod 2 года назад

@@dilbydj ty man i got it now!

@gordthor5351 Год назад

The poly might not be a problem for high frequency reflections, but won't it certainly negate the "air gap" advantage when the sound can't go through. I use my old bed sheet to cover the backs of my panels. They are tight enough to "imprison" the rock wool fibers and the price is free. You have so many absorbers, I doubt you will miss the extra absorption from the air gap, but others might want to know that poly won't allow the sound to flow through. Not to mention potential resonance problems from taunt poly drum skins on the back of all absorbers.

@dilbydj Год назад

The air gap is for extending the absorption to the lower frequencies. Easy way to test this... Grab some super thin plastic like I'm using and cover the front of your monitors. It's going to sound almost exactly the same which means the frequencies are getting through ✅

@federicoverdicchio 2 года назад

Are you not worried about those peaks that comes out on acoustic modeling when you select a low density material in a not too deep absorber? Having the air gap increases those peaks even more. Should we worry about that? Thanks

@dilbydj 2 года назад

Not sure what your concern is. Sounds like you have been reading stuff on forum posts. What I did, that I am explaining in the video, is pretty simple and easy plus gets good results. In acoustic treatment there is a huge law of diminishing returns. Perfection is not possible and the pursuit of perfection is super expensive. Do whatever you want man. I'm not an expert, but I got my info from reliable sources and the results show the treatment I did made a net positive. So I'm happy.

@mrsogood3531 10 месяцев назад

Neat video, lots of information, i can see the work you put into it 👌 I just got a question about one detail you gave. You said you couldn't set your desk along the lengthway of your room like the common way. But you also said that was what worked the best for you. Did you read or heard things about that concept ? Because I think I will have to do the same as you but I'm not sure what's really wrong with this orientation. My guess is that for small room, if you set the desk like so, your listening position would end up either at the center of the room (the famous prohibited spot) or at 25% of the room which is also apparently a dangerous spot.

@dilbydj 10 месяцев назад

All of those "rules" are based on scientific models. Those models are accurate, but based on perfectly symmetrical room dimensions. But in reality no room is perfectly symmetrical and almost all rooms have non symmetrical parallel surfaces, e.g. my room has a wall with a large window and a wall with a door on opposite sides to one another. This basically creates unpredictable room response that does not fit to one of these models. So while they are handy as a guide, as a rule they're not sufficient to get the best results. I used a technique mentioned in the video that I got from acousticsInsider.com to find my listening position based on the results of a listening test to find the best bass response. I recommend anyone does the same as getting the right listening position in your room. Is going to give you the best chance of getting the message out of your room acoustics. Then I used the technique to sit up my speakers from the same website. They have a free guide about how to set up your room and I followed that, and I recommend that anyone does so too.

@magdalinekovalchuk 2 года назад

Awesome video, is SONOROCK a type of rock wool? I can see you are from Germany and cant find any in the USA that sell "Sonorock rock wool". I only see stuff sold just as "rock wool", is this the same thing?

@dilbydj 2 года назад

Yeah, exactly. It's a brand here in Germany. I think Cornings is a brand in the states. But any rock wool or mineral wool with a has flow resistivity like I mention in the video will work.

@magdalinekovalchuk 2 года назад

@@dilbydj Thanks for reading out again. I appreciate your knowledge! One question, does it matter what fabric I use? I heard that using a basic fabric from a store like Jo-Anns will not allow the panels to absorb the sound. Does it HAVE to be acoustic fabric? Such as duck cotton fabric or Guilford of Main? Thanks

@dilbydj 2 года назад

@@magdalinekovalchuk well if that's the case then my panels must be completely useless as I used the cheapest fabric I could find (IKEA). The general rule is if you can blow through it, it will be fine. When choosing a fabric you should try to avoid something that will reflect the sound waves instead of allow them to pass through into the rock wool, which essentially converts the sound energy into heat.

@gregorypinkowski7809 5 месяцев назад

You made them thick enough, though it would have been even better to fill them all the way and mount them farther off the wall, for about the same cost. What was the plastic supposed to do? I just used two layers of fabric and wrapped the entire frame and everything. I used cheap wedding tablecloth cotton muslin. I tried stretchier stuff but it was more problematic.

@dilbydj 5 месяцев назад

The cost of mounting them off the wall is space. The plastic keeps the particles of rock wool from getting into the air.

@gregorypinkowski7809 5 месяцев назад

@@dilbydj fabric does that well. Space is a penalty, not a cost.

@dilbydj 5 месяцев назад

@@gregorypinkowski7809 sure, but the plastic is obviously more effective at doing that job and, more importantly, was a fraction of the cost a second layer of fabric. If you are worried that this won't absorb sound effectively, try covering your face with plastic food wrap and shouting. The sound travels through. The the plastic I used is even thinner than food wrap. I have panels mounted across 8 of the room corners creating plenty of air gap. The low end is very well controlled. So mounting the panels off the wall would have taken up unnecessary space and made the mounting process much more difficult. My walls are solid concrete, not drywall so having simple process was important. There are plenty of options that will work. I am simply trying to help people by showing what worked for me. I'm not selling panels, just trying to share what I have learned in the hopes that it can make the process less complicated than it was for me. It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and critique things, but how about contributing something positive to the world? Drop a link to your video so we can see how you did it mate. :)
