GIK Acoustics | Acoustic Panels & Diffuser Unboxing + Review 

Thanks!

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...

Thank you, hope it was useful

Glad it has been useful to people. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away...

Yea, they're amazing. I have loads of self made stuff too, but the GIK stuff is better than anything else I've seen...

Thanks 😀

Thanks man! Can't wait to do our video together. I've got some ideas dude. X

davespeakmanmusic Looking forward to that

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... 😀

They definitely pack them well!

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. 😀

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 .

The two deepest ones are 120mm, there are two that are 50mm, two 20mm and one 3mm. Each bit is 60mm wide. :-)

I’d imagine that’s for ATMOS

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

@@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

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.

Not really. This is acoustic treatment. Sound proofing requires you to add mass to the wall.

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. 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

@@davespeakmanmusic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iEy9XvEZyJY.html pls. Watch at 4:28 there is foam and pasted mdf board

They are a light grey, the colour is called "glass"...

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.

gikacoustics.co.uk/product-category/impression-series-absorber-diffusor-acoustic-panels-bass-traps/

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/

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.

Great man! If you do a video about them, please link it below. Would love to see them.

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?

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.
