Functional Use For Scrap Wood! - Studio Sound Diffusion Panels

In this video, I've partnered with both Minwax and Purdy Brushes in order to turn all of the scrap wood I had laying around the shop into some acoustic sound diffusion panels for my office. My office is extremely poorly treated for sound recording and creates a ton of reverb. These panels should help improve that and increase the quality of my voice-overs for all future videos!

Thank you so much Spencer! I definitely try to set myself apart in this space with the production quality. I really enjoy the film making process, probably as much as the actual building process, so it's a labor of love. I'm also lucky enough to have a very talented video editor helping me out on these videos. So it's a collaborative process between him and I.

Diffusers don't eliminate reverb; they reshape it by changing how it bounces around the room. Reducing reverb time requires removing acoustic energy from the room by converting it to another form of energy. Fiberglass and foam panels are two materials which can do this. Incidentally, diffusers have lower limits on their effective frequencies. The ones you built will work down to about 1 kHz. There are several free utilities for designing mathematically-correct diffusers that are maximally effective given a set of constraints. Your final product looks nice, no doubt, and will have some effect but it's a shame you didn't use a proven algorithm to design it. Next time.

Looks great! but I agree that you need much more diffusion as those are not covering enough, place some broadband absorbers to the sides of where you sit. Diffusion wont get rid of the reverb it just makes it sound more pleasant, absorption will tame the reverb.

@squared80 Жыл бұрын

You needed to add absorbers, not diffusors. But it looks great and will help with sound dispersion. Thanks for the share! I made my skyline diffusors with scrap wood, as well. Cheap and effective!

@m.j.s.3838 Жыл бұрын

Last winter, I did 2’x2’ skyline panels using repurposed wood (60 y.o. veneered plywood beams) cut all by handsaw while listening to hockey on the radio. Getting a nice cut by hand is very satisfying, if you aren’t in a hurry. My tips: -use larger pieces than in the video, I did ~2”x2”, for LESS cutting/sanding and BIGGER panels -consider cutting the exposed ends at random angles for another element of diffusion -don’t get too fussy about being perfect like the guy in the video; imperfections are lost in all the busy towers; eg. I barely sanded mine, and using different sizes is not a big deal either. I had alternating rows of slightly different width towers, which worked great. -a thin backing board is preferable -the banded effect of plywood beams is very good, especially if the plys are thin and numerous -leave some spots empty -this calls for some time and effort, and will hang on the wall for years, so you might as well go all in and give 110%__find and follow an acoustically formulated pattern; look (on the internet) for “skyline diffuser pattern”

I actually appreciated the timer. You should keep that around. Maybe even have a small timer in a corner that's permanently on. Also those sound diffusion panels, even if they were professionally designed (ie calculated to achieve a specific effect) would still not be enough due to how small they are compared to the room. So it's a start for sure and it does look cool. I don't know what else you've planned, but those windows are pretty large and you should consider some dense fabric curtains to diffuse the sound reflected off of them. You'll be surprised how much that helps (speaking as someone who has just recently started acoustically optimizing his home cinema setup - which has a wall that is one large window).

@ZacBuilds 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks you, the next step is to get some sound traps using mineral wool. I do actually have some roll down curtains which should theoretically help a bit. They aren't heavy drapes, but they are a blackout sytle canvas. I'll make sure I roll those down before recording.

@J0ermungand 2 жыл бұрын

@@ZacBuilds Excellent, you can try the roll down curtains, though i suspect they won't be as effective as heavy drapes. Mineral wool is afaik preferred for sound insulation (ie absorbing sound), which should help reducing reverb tremendously. Gotta be careful to leave enough diffuse reflection, otherwise everything just sounds muted. I'm personally going to try styrofoam wall panels for absorbing sound on my back wall. I'll try and make them look like a faux stone wall.

Feedback on finding a way to include a time element in your videos: One of the best ways I often see people create a condensed sense of time passing is with time-lapses. Seeing all the activity blurring together as the hours of work get condensed down into a few seconds really gives a sense of just how much effort you've put in. It's tried and true, but it's a great tool to have in a videographers arsenal. Bonus suggestion: Taking the time-lapse idea a little further, including a clock or timer in the shot during a time-lapse could be super cool. The blur of activity in tandem with the hours of a clock zinging by in just seconds could be the extra kick to help deliver just how much those hours of work get diluted down into a few seconds of video footage.

@MrTeff999 3 ай бұрын

This is the second diffuser I've seen on KZfaq, but I doubt it will work as intended. Although the blocks vary in height, they all reflect sound in the same direction. Seems to me the blocks should be cut at angles and pointed in different directions, up, down, left, and right.

And anyway, as I was referring to panels for small spaces, only pieces close to the size of the satellite panels Zac made would be feasible/desirable in such rooms/closets.

Nope, nope, nope, diffusors do not reduce reverberation, they only break up standing waves and such. They make the room sound larger and sound better, but do not reduce reverberation time. If you want shorter reverb time, you need absorbers, not diffusers. You have large windows. The windows reflect a huge amount. The walls are not your primary problem, though it obviously helps to treat them. Also do not forget the ceiling, as that's where lots of early reflections happen. Directly above you, where you sit.

Don’t throw away those little cubes. Perfect for little kids to build towers with.

They sell these as kits for diy and they are 100 to 300 bucks each wow I have enough scrap wood here at my house to build thousands of these I have a lumber business and the scrap wood has built up over the last 40 years definitely going to build some of these I put a huge pile of wood up on Craigslist for free and well nobody has got it so now I'm going to use it myself

I love the way you did this tutorial, however this panels won't solve the problem that you are attacking. Diffuser panels will always work more as an EQ of your room, while absorbing panels would help you deal with reverberation. If you want to dry your room, better to build some panels filled and fill them with absorbing materials. Anyway, I watched this video completely because the work you did is admirable.

Diffusion doesn't work well with such low energy like a voice. Normally used in studios so the back wall doesn't reflect back into the speakers. They do look nice, but perform so poorly.
