HOME STUDIO DIY ACOUSTIC WOOD SLAT WALL! WITH LED LIGHTING!

www.soundheadquarters.com
In part one of this custom home studio build, we show how to build acoustic wood slat walls with integrated led lighting. We also build a corner bass trap for the ceiling, as well as finishing trim all around the room. Part 2 will include a fibre optic star ceiling acoustic cloud for the vocal booth, custom front wall panels, furniture and gear, and a final look at the finished product.

I hardly ever comment on videos, but this is so informative and helpful and I want to say thank you.

[@soundheadquarters]

I really appreciate that thank you! Thanks for watching

[@kootenaystringworks1765]

Looks great!

[@soundheadquarters]

Thank you!

I'm interested in this design for my living room, but quick question: arent the slats actually reflecting the sound and thus killing the purpose of the rockwool?

[@soundheadquarters]

The rockwool is still doing its purpose of absorbing more mid/high frequencies. The slats are indeed reflecting sound, however that is desired in this context as the client did not want a very dead sounding mix room. This is a common practice on other acoustic companies panels as well, you may see them labelled as “scatter plates” or “diffuser plates” that are installed on the front face of acoustic panels to add some reflection back into an overly deadened room. Thanks for watching!

[@0BURNT0TOAST0]

Awesome chennel! Just doing a bit of a deep dive on you videos. How do you determine the size and depth of the acoustic panels? And how are the width of gaps between the wood slats chosen?

[@soundheadquarters]

This client in particular was trying to achieve a certain visual look as a primary goal, with the acoustics as a secondary goal. We go over everything during the consulting stage with each client according to their needs and budget before we begin each build. Most times especially for home studios, people are looking for a blend between aesthetics and acoustic function. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more!

Love these!!! What side rockwool are you usuing please?

[@soundheadquarters]

2X4 feet, 1.5 inch thick comfortboard 80

​@Sound Headquarters . What about the fabric, where did you get it ? What about to place first a layer of Pro-fabric for the lawn around the rockwool, and the final fabric a the end ( double wrapped to avoid any micro fibers on the air). I suffer from allergies, so I was thinking two layers if it doesn't affect the efficacy of the panels. Greetings from Houston,Texas.

[@Sativacyborg007]

Would the wood be enough to deflect the sound or would you through in absorption as well? We are trying to build this in our living room to keep noise from entering our kids room behind the living room

[@soundheadquarters]

This whole wall behind the fabric is 2inch of absorption, you can frame the wall with a thicker wood if you want to do a thicker layer of absorption. Soundproofing or isolation between rooms is usually handled at the construction stage, but this method would help as well. Thanks for watching!

[@busyfemme]

Great video. What is the black fabric you are using? Any particular brand?

[@soundheadquarters]

Thank you! This was just a polyester blend. Any brand will work. Thanks for watching!

[@ledellhaines835]

What fabric type did you use to cover the sound insulation?

[@0BURNT0TOAST0]

I think it was black.

[@KXBALADZE]

Is this better than classic diffuser? ( one with wooden cubes)

[@soundheadquarters]

This design was built to spec of the clients design, not for what was optimal acoustically necessarily. Different width vertical slats would add more diffusion while still getting the absorption of the wall as well. If you were to build a full wall of the square block style, would offer better diffusion but won't offer absorption. Thanks for watching!

[@KXBALADZE]

Thank you for your answer. I learned a lot of things from you and appreciate that

[@mikemcculloch7079]

Looks great. What are the dimensions you used for each wood slat? Did you get that wood from home depot by chance? Also, where can I find these lighting products? Thanks!

[@soundheadquarters]

These wood slats were 1x2 inch 8 foot lengths of pine, they weren't from Home Depot but they should have something similar or equivalent. The lights and track were off Amazon. Thanks for watching!

[@mikemcculloch7079]

@@soundheadquarters great. Thanks!

[@gordthor5351]

I would have mitered the corners on the trim pieces on the post (looks much better and professional) , filled the 45 degree bulkhead bass trap full of rock wool (that notch is a big bass problem and doesn't have enough absorption) and used much smaller eyehooks and thin wire to support the ceiling panels (cleaner look). Other than that it looks great.

[@tomverswyvel6370]

Don't you get cancelling issues in the sound ? Try to place slats not even . You will get a better result .

[@soundheadquarters]

The client's objective was to recreate the look of architectural wood slat walls, so that's what we built for him. Sometimes our clients lean more towards aesthetic goals rather than what's optimal for acoustics. Thanks for watching!

A "hole saw" has several teeth like a saw. You are referring to a spade bit.
