I hand-built all the acoustic panels in my home studio (I'm a full-time music mix-engineer and producer) and they're fixed into the studs/joists of the walls/ceiling with screws (a little more complicated than that but I'm assuming those details don't matter for taxes). So they're not easily removable. I rent a basement (for very cheap) to live out of and used one of the rooms I rent to build my studio. The studio was put into work June 1 2025. I have all the documentation for the materials with building the acoustic panels. The Turbotax "expert" I talked to said to claim it as "repairs and maintenance" because the panels can't effectively be resold (they're custom fitted to an odd shaped room). That didn't sound right to me. Both Claude on research mode and Chat GPT on Thinking said it's not repairs. Claude says it's Qualified Improvement Property (form 4562), Chat GPT says it needs to go on form 8829 with the home office section. Turbotax doesn't seem to let me depreciate anything and I can only list it as an expense under their home office section. Turbotax online doesn't let me search by form, and I'm not sure which is right. I'd like to depreciate them over time since I made very little 2025 and I'm making at least 20x as much this year. I'd like to know where I should claim the acoustic panels on Turbotax. Any help is appreciated, thank you! submitted by /u/DaMeteor to r/tax [link] [comments]

Just about to finish my roof. But some of these prices with companies capitalizing on camper supplies are ridiculous. I came across links before with the panels under £40 each for 2.4m, but that was last month and I didn't save the searches 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Hi Everyone! I've embarked on a big project to acoustically treat my studio space. I look forward to sharing some photos once it's complete. :) For the ceiling panels, I'm using a bunch of Rockwool Safe n Sound. My plan is to: Attach Eye Lag screws to my ceiling (4x per panel) Run ceiling wire from the screws through the panels (a few layers of Safe n Sound each) Use washers to hold the panels against gravity My only issue is... I'm not sure how the heck I'd attach the ceiling wire to the washers... does anybody have any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I know how I'd do it if I was using long bolts to attach to the ceiling, but I'm hoping to use ceiling wire to have something that is simultaneously both strong enough to hold everything and thin enough to run through the batts without needing to drill large holes. I should note that the aesthetic of having visible washers does not bother me. :) I'm also open to alternate suggestions if there are superior methods for hanging such panels. submitted by /u/thisissami to r/MusicBattlestations [link] [comments]

We decided to paint it red and orders samples now( wood panels are too expensive for now :( ). The ceiling is already fixed, dont worry. Sorry, but i didnt expect so many comments, I cannot answer and thank you all. Thank you for the input! I think the internet decided on the wooden panels. Thank you for giving us advise. I will update you, once it happened. :) 3-4 weeks till then. Original Post: We are unsure what to do with our wall. I wants add more wood, like the acoustic paneling. My wife is unsure and tells me to just paint it white. Other colors were also discussed. What do you think? Update: - Green and Faux Brick are ruled out. - ceiling is WIP and will be done on wednesday - rug is a question for the future - Lamp will follow once the ceiling is completed - this is a lot of input thank you! submitted by /u/Maltei to r/interiordecorating [link] [comments]

Hello. Im looking to treat my home studio. It features one main room (21.25' long, 12' wide, 8' tall). I mainly record drums and some bass, so I want to focus on that. I want to make my own panels because prebuilt panels + shipping are ridiculously more expensive. However, Im having a bit of trouble finding insulation for the panels. After some research, I settled on Rockwool Rockboard 40 (4") or Owens Corning 703 for the ceiling cloud above the drums and the walls, and Safe n Sound (6") for the bass traps. The problem is that none of my local hardware stores carry any of these types. I found owens corning 703 4" online for not too much at ats acoustics and they offer free shipping, but the website is not very user friendly and Im not sure how legit they are. What can I do? submitted by /u/TrumpsAnalFissure to r/audioengineering [link] [comments]

My system, mainly for music, but it works well for movies too:) I´ve shown the setup before in r/audiophile, but since then a new front sub (and some furniture’s) and some new photos. I almost always use Straight mode on the AVR, so it´s a 2.1 stereo setup or 5.2.4 Atmos setup depending on the source mix (Apple Music). Newer movies from streaming services are often mixed in Dolby Atmos, in other cases I upmix it with Dolby Surround or Auro-3D. -Source: Apple TV4K, 250Mbit wired. Streaming only. -Yamaha A6A as DAC/processor and amp for the surrounds, center and Atmos speakers -Yamaha A-S1200 (with DIY side panels in oak) as power amp for the mains, connected from the AVR preouts to main in on the amp, with trigger cable for on and off. DIY bench. -Bowers&Wilkins 703 S3 as mains, with #bassti stands -SVS SB3000 REvolution as front sub, the .1 for stereo mixes. (outside US gloss white) -Bowers&Wilkins 706 S3 as surrounds, DIY stands -Bowers&Wilkins Htm71 S3 center, DIY stand -Four Dali M-80 as Atmos speakers, with in ceiling cabinets (“manufactured” when I tore down the old built-in wardrobes upstairs for new ones) -SVS SB5000 sub in the rear left corner, the .2 in Atmos mixes. SVS tri-band wireless adapter. (12 hp in total peak effect from both subs, but I doubt that our house electrical system can handle that) -Philips 77” Oled 809 Ambilight as screen, slightly tilted forward, with Dolby Vision (2.2m/86” to the MLP) -YPAO r.s.c calibration for 90-20khz range -UMIK 2 and REW for the bass dial and integration 10-90hz. (A psychological barrier at first to cross “full range” towers, but the subs take care of the bass so so much better, and “LFE+Main” mostly causes cancelations when phase aligned) -IKEA Gunnlaug sound absorption curtains, four DIY acoustic panels with wood fiber insulation. Flowers as diffraction panels… -Iphone 16 Pro camera - which also works as a microphone, or camera, when you use Apple Music/Apple TV´s new functionalities Karaoke and Camera mode. Really fun! The measurement picture show seven measurements in a 2 feet sphere around my MLP, medium high level, -21db on the AVR, cross aligned and vector averaged. No smoothing. The best result I’ve achieved in our room, for now, and higher bass level than strictly correct hi-fi, but I like it. Had to eq down the SB5000 between 55-100hz to get the best combined result, so it only works as a infrabas sub, and can really shake the couch. Green trace is LR+both subs 90hz crossed. Red and white are the LFE traces. The dip at 72hz is a floor/ceiling bounce, I think. Finally pics of Waterfall and Distortion/total frequency for those of you who are - as myself - down in the measurement rabbit hole:) submitted by /u/One_Definition1564 to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

For those of you who know room treatment, just curious if I would need acoustic panels on this ceiling? It's well insulated on the attic side if that makes any difference. submitted by /u/Substantial-Cake6921 to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

Hello all I recently turned my spare bedroom of my house into a recording studio and i am looking for some insight before i mount the panels to the walls and ceiling. I made 12 panels using Safe n Sound that are 17 inches wide and 47 inches long and the red dots are roughly where i intend to mount them. I will check reflection points for the exact spots on the side walls. Would this setup be a good start? The panels were relatively inexpensive for me to make so making 6 more would not be an issue if it is recommended. I will shut up and listen, thanks! submitted by /u/Mudcrutched to r/Acoustics [link] [comments]

Its been a long, long project but my basement theater is just about all wrapped up. A dedicated room would have definitely been easier and less expensive but I didnt want to sacrifice our only guest bedroom. Reddit, youtube and theater forums were a wealth of knowledge along the way so I figured I would give back and share results. Whole basement is double 5/8. First layer is 5/8 osb. Living room area got hat channel and clips on walls and ceiling. 5.2.4 jbl synthesis speakers, PSA subs, Arcam equipment, jvc projector, and a Seymour screen. Fun projects were the 3 recessed digital movie posters (43 inch tvs) and the arcade/game room to play some games while the popcorn is popping. The acoustic panels are true 4 inches deep in wall mineral wool with acoustic transparent fabric. They look like the costco ones. Last bigger projects left are to build my door that will seal off the stairwell, clean up wiring and equipment rack, and the dreaded fiber optic star ceiling. The 8x12 panel is built, wrapped in duvetyne, and recessed into ceiling for now. It was a mad rush to get it mostly completed so we could host christmas. I was really chasing that nostalgia of going to the theater as a kid. We grew up in a small town so it was a rare and real treat when we went into the big city to take in a show. The popcorn, playing some games, walking down that hall and seeing the movie posters teasing what was coming soon! Anxiously waiting for the lights to dim and the show begin, it was magical back then. submitted by /u/Comfortable-Mind to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

After a lot of planning and physical work, I’m incredibly happy to say my home theater room is finally "finished" (for now). I wanted to share the final result because seeing it come together has been a dream come true. I did the installation myself, which was a massive learning experience. The hardest part was a toss-up between cleanly routing the wiring for the surrounds and Atmos or having to move the recessed lighting. I had to move the existing recessed can lights to fit the acoustic cloud layout I wanted. I also ran all the wiring and built custom Dynamat enclosures for the in-ceiling speakers, sealed with acoustic caulking. Luckily my ceiling joists ran in an easy direction, but the left Atmos speaker enclosures were a pain to install since the spacing between the joists was much smaller. Atmos placement wasn’t ideal, but given my joist layout and what I had to work with, it ended up working out and I think ART helped compensate for the placement. I also opted for a wider soundstage for the tower speakers, surrounds, and Atmos since I have a much wider seating arrangement. The goal was a fully immersive space for the family, and we absolutely love "going" to the movies here now. The Gear: • TV: LG G4 83” OLED • LCR: SVS Ultra EVO Towers & Center • Surrounds: SVS Ultra EVO Bookshelves • Atmos: 4x Revel C-783 8” (in custom Dynamat enclosures). I listen to a lot of music in this room as well, which is why I opted for the nicer Revels to ensure clarity for music playback. • Subwoofers: Dual SVS 17-Ultra R-Evolution. The bass authority and depth are just on another level. Before treating the room, the R-17s were actually causing a lot of audible vibrations and rattling. Installing the GIK panels and running Dirac Live ART completely cleaned that up. • Side note: If you are on the fence about going dual subwoofers: do it. It makes the bass feel "complete." With one sub, I could tell exactly where the bass was coming from, but adding the second one removed that localization. It sounds significantly more enveloping now. • AVR: Denon X3800H • Room Correction: Dirac Live ART – Grabbed this during the Black Friday sale. It did a great job integrating the two subs with the towers. • Seating: Room & Board Metro Sectional Acoustics & Room: Treating the room was a priority. I used GIK Acoustic panels for the walls and the ceiling cloud to tighten up the soundstage. • Side story: when I was cleaning up and vacuuming with all panels installed, I had a moment where I thought my vacuum wasn’t working right, because it sounded muted. It hit me the panels were doing its job, and I was giddy to finish put it together and using the ART software. Only downside with the room now is that I can hear my tinnitus much more distinctly without anything on. Huge thanks to: • John Dykstra at GIK Acoustics: Instrumental in helping me with the acoustic layout plan. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and super easy to work with. • Nick Guarino at AudioLab: He hooked me up with the Revels and helped me grab the second subwoofer, which made a huge difference in the room response. I’ve included pictures of the finished room and some of the install process (wiring, ceiling cutouts, and layout lines). Thanks for looking! submitted by /u/Supercalifragi1istic to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

TL;DR: Turned an old kitchen into a dedicated home cinema as part of a house renovation. Built a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos room around a Denon AVC-A1H with a dual-display setup (LG OLED + Sony projector), Canton speakers throughout, proper acoustic treatment from GIK, and a lot of careful planning. After years of mixed-use setups, this is my first fully dedicated cinema — and it’s exceeded every expectation. --------------- A few years ago my wife and I bought a new house with plans to extensively redevelop it, including relocating the kitchen into a rear extension. That left the old kitchen ripe for my lifelong dream: a dedicated home cinema room. I’m 55 and have always had a huge interest in home cinema. In my late teens and early twenties I worked in an independent AV dealership selling brands like Panasonic, Technics, Pioneer, Hitachi and Kenwood. I distinctly remember the arrival of Pro-Logic and the number of Pro-Logic TVs we sold just by looping the opening scene of Top Gun on VHS. Over the years I’ve enjoyed various modest 5.1 setups. Even though the rooms were always mixed-use, I usually managed to get pretty decent speaker positioning. This renovation project though — combined with a very understanding wife and years of saving — finally gave me the chance to realise the dream of a dedicated Atmos room. The space isn’t huge (4660L × 3200W × 2435H), probably about the minimum I could get away with, but I felt it was workable. My plan was to base everything around a Denon AVC-A1H, driving a projector for films and a TV for television and gaming. All equipment would live in a rack cupboard behind the room, alongside the house networking. I already owned a pair of Canton Vento 870 DC floorstanders, a Vento 856 centre, and an AS 225 SC active sub from a previous system, which I planned to use as the basis of a 7.1.4 setup. I’ve always enjoyed the sound of Canton speakers — going right back to the days when I sold them at the Hi-Fi shop. Tracking down who actually held the UK account was always a bit of a challenge. I once bought a pair of Ergo 70s from a car dealership in Sloane Square who somehow had the account via a lapsed in-car audio arrangement. Anyway… Cantons. It’s just a sound I like. I discovered that Signature Systems now hold the UK Canton account, so I contacted them and ended up ordering two pairs of 989 in-ceiling speakers for heights, a pair of Vento 10s for surrounds and Vento 20s for rears, giving me the full 7.1.4 layout. A very nice chap called Kevin was more than happy to help. I didn’t feel the need to bring in a specialist cinema design company — in my mind this was still a hobbyist project. The actual build was handled by the same contractors renovating the rest of the house, who we trusted and had worked with before. I did lean on Sevenoaks Sound & Vision in Swiss Cottage for cabling, fire hoods, brackets etc., although sadly they went out of business before the project finished. Going in, my main worries were: acoustic treatment ceiling speaker positioning a very tight corner involving the door, left speaker and retractable screen I knew basically nothing about acoustics beyond the endless YouTube videos claiming you can do it cheaply and easily yourself. Ceiling speaker placement was partly dictated by load-bearing joists, and the tight corner was just something I’d have to plan carefully around. The cinema room takes up most of the old kitchen, but not all of it. We pushed through the rear wall into what was the utility room, and carved off space at the other end for a downstairs toilet and cloakroom. That cloakroom would house the AV rack for both the cinema and the rest of the house. Even as the walls were going up I was wrestling with whether to embed acoustic treatment into the wall cavities behind fabric panels, or just fill the cavities with insulation and deal with acoustics using panels afterwards. In the end I went with the latter — partly because I couldn’t get my act together on the fabric panels, and partly because I didn’t want the room to sound overly dead. Some research led me to GIK Acoustics, who seemed reputable (Abbey Road was a reassuring name to see) and offered a free consultation. I sent over the room plan and quickly received a detailed response from Paul Linke. Crucially, the proposal wasn’t outrageously expensive, so I decided to go with it. The only part I couldn’t incorporate was treatment behind the screen, as I hadn’t mentioned there would also be a TV on the front wall. Everything else fitted perfectly. As this stage the plan had the subwoofer at the rear, and I’d even run a fairly expensive 10m Chord C-SUB cable back there. I later changed this an moved the Sub to the front. Meanwhile work continued on the rack cupboard. I’d bought a StarTech 42U rack, which needed some modification to fit the space, and then went about sourcing shelves and custom mounts for the equipment. The positioning of the Grandview screen was critical — it had to just clear the LG TV without sitting too far forward. I’d also specified bespoke GIK panels for the back of the door, so the awkward corner had to accommodate the front left speaker, screen, door and treatment. It was around this point that I finally accepted that bright white front speakers were not going to work in a dark, moody cinema room. So I swallowed hard and upgraded to Vento 80s, a Vento 50 centre, and a Vento Sub 12, all in black. Once the screen was in, panels hung and projector mounted, it was basically done. I opted for a sofa rather than cinema seats — I find it far more comfortable to lounge on, and this one absolutely is. The final step was testing. I ran Audyssey carefully on the Denon, then put on Steven Wilson’s Atmos Blu-ray of Staircase from The Harmony Codex… and nearly cried. It sounded so good — far beyond my expectations. I honestly can’t imagine it sounding better. Start to finish the whole thing has taken two years. Not just the cinema room, obviously, but the whole project. A full 12 months longer than we were originally quoted. But it's been worth it. Music, films and TV all look and sound spectacular, and I haven’t even started properly gaming yet. I’m absolutely thrilled. The pics really don't do it justice. The iPhone is overexposing. It's far darker and moodier than it looks in these images. My only niggle is the white plastic housing of the recessed projector. We debated painting it but ultimately decided against that. We have a plan to hide it with a carefully placed panel attached to the front of the boxing. Anyway, if you got this far thanks for reading. This has been a real labour of love that has paid off in spades. submitted by /u/Other-Radish-4028 to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

I started this August bank holiday, total of 3 months finding the spare time to get it done by myself (apart from moving copper pipework, skimming ceiling & half of the electrics) I took the opportunity to lag pipework, insulate the soil stack and use acoustic insulation under the floor Plywood to cover the floor boards then insulated cement boards throughout. Bath & sink area were taped on all joints, corners & screws, then tanked with a 2 part waterproof membrane Tiling was the biggest job by far and I now have a lot more respect for good tilers. It’s like completing a jigsaw before you’ve put down the first piece. First big tiling job I’ve done and also first bathroom I’ve fitted. I modified the bath panel so I could add in a led strip which I’ve wired back to an IR sensor in the ceiling and that acts as a night light There was no extractor fan in previously and I didn’t want to use flexible ducting; opted for PVC which runs through the loft to the soffit and I’ve insulated it as well as built it on a slight fall towards the soffit I’m now mostly relieved that it’s finished more than anything submitted by /u/MrJoell to r/DIYUK [link] [comments]

I've "finished" my DIY home theater build. It started as a typical over the garage 12x24 bonus room. I gutted it down to the studs and started from scratch. I reran the electrical and added a 20a circuit for the rack. I used r30 rockwool all around the room, used hushframe brackets for decoupling, fully wrapped the room in 3mm MLV, putty pads on all penetrations, two layers of 5/8 drywall with green glue and acoustic caulking of all seams in the first layer. All speaker runs are 12ga and there are conduit runs from the closet to the projector box (integrated into the rear ceiling), behind the screen, front of the riser, eaves area behind wall on opposite side of the room and into the attic in case of future needs. I spent a few years planning it out while tackling other projects in the house and it's been almost a year of work. The only parts I subbed out was the wallpaper and carpet install. The rack sits on a slide out to gain access to the rear and there is a hidden door for the closet to get access to wiring. The star ceiling is the night sky the night my wife and I got married, it doubles as an acoustic panel as it's 2" roxul 60. The side panels are also filled with rockwool and hide the speakers. It's a diy 116" 16:9 spandex screen with a motorized making panel for 2.35:1 content that's integrated with HA. I ran calibration with A1 Evo Express and I found the process fairly painless and I think it produced great results. For a free product you can't ask for much more. I still have to play with the unfolded circle 3 remote to streamline some things. Lighting is controlled by lutron caseta switches integrated to HA. I also need to build the rack PC and I'm planning a 120+TB setup to rip all my disks to stream them locally. I also have a 1950 gold medal pop-a-lot popcorn machine that will replace the current popper but I have to finish the restoration.

My method for building the wall panels was simple. I used 1" x 6" poplar boards to build a frame. I stuffed it with two pieces of 2" thick OC 703. I out a layer of black velvet over the back to make sure fibers aren't escaping. I then wrapped a layer around the front, and stapled it on the back so that I overlapped the back layer. I hung them on the wall using French cleats. Now ai would like to treat my ceiling. I have room for a 18" x 120" panel between my front heights and my screen header. I can do a second panel, 30" x 120", between my front heights and MLP. Lastly I am going to do two 24" x 48"panels behind my rear heights and the back wall. I cannot do the 120: panel back there because of the projector mount. I am least worried about the small panels. On the 120" panels should I plan on putting one or more braces in to support the frame? I am going to use 24"x48"x4" thick OC703. Each of those pieces weigh eight pounds. I think the black velvet, if pulled tight and stapled every couple of inches could support the weight, but then again it could stretch and sag over time. Should I do anything to support them? I could stretch fishing line every foot or two and not impact the sound absorption. I also saw some corner braces for sale. They would probably work well on my smaller panels, but on the 30" x 120" there will be a total of five individual pieces, so I don't think they would help for that. submitted by /u/thalguy to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

I’m planning to install homemade acoustic panels on my ceiling. The room is about 12 feet (3.5 meters) wide, and the ceiling is made of very hard concrete that’s difficult to drill into. My idea is to stretch two thin paracords across the room and place the panels between the ceiling and the cords. Do you think that’s a good idea? If not, how could I make something simple and aesthetically clean instead? submitted by /u/UpalSecam to r/hometheater [link] [comments]

A lady just moved into the one bedroom apartment under my house and we're being confronted weekly about the noise we make. I think shes referring to cabinets slamming and heavy walking but she came up and showed me which stool sqeaks when you sit in it. So she can hear everything. I did a bit of searching and found some posts about sound dampening in offices but nothing of value for an apartment. I was planning on stabling a heavy insulation to the actualy ceiling, above the drop ceiling and then laying more insulation behind the tiles but I don't think it would be enough. I found these sound dampening back tiles which seems to work but would they be enough? Anyway, any tips are much appreciated. https://www.acoustimac.com/oc7032?utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+Insulation+2025&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4716037441&hsa_cam=22260951023&hsa_grp=178822691881&hsa_ad=733832938043&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=pla-1041746532235&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22260951023&gbraid=0AAAAAD-pCclOSDViG19a9bdVVTsTpi3n4&gclid=CjwKCAjwisnGBhAXEiwA0zEORz1-6Oe5hrEF17VOVePAIXdZ15EAsafBRUznJ90rF-maTbfD6-RhlxoCrgwQAvD_BwE submitted by /u/Untertang to r/Acoustics [link] [comments]

This is not a post about how I treated specific issue in my room. I did no measurements before and after. Function, not sound, dictated where I sit. All I knew is that I had a lot of high range issues when volume was turned up, and that ceiling was the only remaining flat surface in the room that I can treat in any meaningful way. The challenge was hanging a 50kg contraption, by my lonesome, from the ceiling right above where I spend 10 hours each day, and doing so in a safe and aesthetically pleasing way. For me, two years have passed from start to finish, for various reasons, but if I'd gathered all the materials beforehand it'd be doable in a weekend easily. I am not calling my room done - will be adding bass traps along the ceiling edge where possible. Great if they help with low end a bit, but mainly I want to fill in the space, as I really like the feeling of small and densely packed room. submitted by /u/Semen_K to r/Acoustics [link] [comments]

All panels are custom made by me. Rear panels; Poplar 5x1 lumber with doubled up 2" mineral wool so total thickness is 4". I added a half inch spacer behind so there is a small gap between the mineral wool and the wall. Wrapped in custom printed stretch graphics. Same for the big panel above the tv. This panel is arounf 1.5ft x 7ft (more or less) and used a single 2" insulation and 3x1 lumber. (It has the half inch spacer also) The ceiling panels have double frames and I used owens corning 403 fiberglass insulation. Fabric wraps around the first frame and the 2nd frame was wrapped in 3M dinoc vinyl to match all the walnut colored stuff in the roo.. Hanging like 2 inches off the ceiling. 3x1 lumber. 2" insulation. I added the spacer to the front so they hold the insulation instead of them resting on the fabric which would have been visible. I also applied some masking tape on the edge of the trimmed fabric.

Finally bought my first home and moved out! This is my first time living on my own and having my own space, so I decided to go with a 5.2.4 setup in the living room (I used to have a 7.2 setup in my bedroom before moving out, bedroom now just has a simple 2.1 setup). The difference upgrading from 7.2 to 5.2.4 Atmos was surprisingly subtle. The soundscape does feel more three dimensional but it's not as pronounced as I was once expecting it to be. Let me know if there are any particular movies/TV shows with great atmos track I can test out! I was originally gonna go with in-ceiling speakers for my atmos channels but unfortunately there wasn't enough space between the drywall ceiling and the concrete wall above (only about 3 inch gap) (it's an apartment unit), so I decided to just re-use my existing Klipsch bookshelves from my 7.2. setup and mount them on the ceiling instead. I installed some acoustic slat wood panels on my front wall, they worked surprisingly well as acoustic treatment, and they also look great! (goes really well against my sage green wall) Let me know what you guys think!
