Hey man, your videos have inspired me to take on this DIY project. I'm more than capable and have always wanted to take it on but lacked the confidence, your instruction is incredible and love that i stumbled upon your videos. Subscribed Thank you!
Does it help with heating insulation? Or only for soundprof? And if it's cold in this cellar could it make it worse adsorbing condensation and getting mould on back side of the panel?
Looks nice the slat wall... but how do you know what the acoustic properties are? Some mix of absorbtion and diffusion yes, but what mix? Which frequencies get diffused and how? Bought absorbtion-binary-diffusion-panels have more unsymmetric mathematical "random" patterns for the diffusion and come with frequency-absorbtion and diffusion charts.
We did not do any acoustic measurements for this client. I suggested a random pattern for the slats, however this client had an aesthetic vision which for him was a higher priority than the acoustic properties. Would be interesting to do tests for sure! Thanks for watching
That’s right. There is a simple rule about the diffusion, certainly 50% of the space on the panel should be open and 50% batons. But pref in a certain pattern. But then living in Australia, I would kill for Rockwool (at normal prices). Its impossible. All of it is imported.
nice video .. just wondering, since wood reflects the sound, and there is plenty of wood surface on this panel, how could this panel absorb and reduce echo and reverberations ?!?!?!
The effect of the wood slats will reflect the sound waves in different directions rather than in one direction like a smooth flat wooden surface. Reflecting in the different directions reduces flutter echo and reverb times by scattering the waves so they have reduced sound energy to the parallel wall/surface. And the absorption behind the slats will offer absorption from whatever sound misses the slats, and where the slats reflect towards the absorption. There are many different ways to build absorber/scatter panels but they offer both absorption and diffusion in the same product. Thanks for watching!
The wood slats add some diffusion to the absorbers. Check out GIK acoustics, or other manufacturers acoustic slat walls for reference. Thanks for watching
I'd be interested in buying some of these, maybe in a slightly larger size. I checked your website and it looks like they're not for sale. Could you build to order?
Your videos have inspired me to build my studio but at the same time I can't help but think of all those toxic fibers you're handling with no protection. Not to mention they remain in someone's working space. You should do some research and start using cotton batts instead of mineral or glass fibers.
Glad I inspired you to do your own build enjoy! You're correct I should be wearing a respirator while handling the insulation. However once these materials are covered in fabric and settled, they are no longer an airborne risk within a workspace. The issue with cotton batts is they are highly flammable and lack in performance to other options. Flammability does not mix well with electronics especially in commercial settings where everything must be fire rated. There is a reason why the top acoustics manufacturers are glass fibre based wrapped in fabric. Here in Canada our equivalent is rockwool, which is what I use since that's what's available to me. Thanks for watching and have fun with your build!
@soundheadquarters fabric is still porous, which is why sound can pass through it in order to still be effective. Sound makes those fibers vibrate making them airborne again. Not to mention air conditioners too. I get some buildings have to gave fire rated materials but they also sell foam batts now. I would take a little less acoustic efficiency for cleaner air.
