Acoustic Panels

After the recent success of designing some acoustic absorption panels for Nottingham City Council, it has now been decided to design and build some for the studio.

Pictures will follow, but the plan is to construct some frames with sloping fronts from 12mm MDF with a 50mm infill of Rockwool. At the deepest points the panels for the wall behind the speakers will be 200mm deep, reducing to 75mm and the ones for the ceiling will be 150mm deep reducing to 75mm. As the panels will be quite deep, there will be a good cavity behind the Rockwool which will hopefully provide good bottom end absorption. Some Cara Acoustic Fabric in dark blue has been ordered to cover the panels with, so they should look quite aesthetically pleasing too.

Construction will begin at the weekend....
