Sorry to get off topic but what did you use for acoustic material in your sound panels. What size are they, I am looking at roxul from HD - 12 pieces 3,"by 151/4" by 47". Is 3" thick enough?

Tarheel TJ Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I used Roxul Safe & Sound for the insulation, 4" thick for the walls and 2" thick for the ceiling. 1x4" pine frames. Acoustic fabric from Guilford of Maine. The wall panels are 2'x4'. The ceiling "clouds" are 4'x8'. Edited February 18, 2021 by Tarheel TJ Added dimensions.

I have a different idea for frames pine/lumber is getting expensive. Might be interesting to see the link you used to build your diffusers. I don't think most people realize what's involved.

J M O N Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Looks great! I've had thoughts of doing something very similar, but when I started adding up all the parts necessary and the time involved, it seemed to requiree more time than I have available. Weight is another concern. Do you have an idea of how much each one of those weighs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel TJ Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 They are 25lbs or so per section. Definitely need a stud or very solid drywall anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @Tarheel TJ I'm curious did you try putting your "skyline" diffusers on the back wall behind your listening position. I read or heard somewhere that's optimal place for such. I think it was on the "realtraps" website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a large ~25x25 open basement room. Because of two columns and a staircase that break up the room, the stereo/home theater only occupies a little more than 1/4 of this space. So the back wall of my listening room is some 10-12 feet behind the couch. I don't think the panels would make a noticeable difference that far from both the speakers and listener.
