The HS5’s are available in black and white. You can also get a version with screw holes for mounting. Don’t forget to buy two speakers (they are sold separately)! We tried some cheaper stands but they wobbled too much! We really liked how solid the König and Meyers were. Make sure you buy cables that are an appropriate length. The quality of XLR cables can vary. We really like cables built with Neutrik Connectors.

ACOUSTIC PANEL SHOPPING LIST:

-Insulation
-Timber
-Fabric (for the front and for the back)
-Picture Hanging Hardware
-Screws and Glue

INSULATION:

We used Rockwool Acoustic Insulation. Choose an appropriate size for your room. Remember the thicker the insulation the better it will attenuate sound. The names and dimensions are slightly different in the USA (Rockwool Safe ’n’ Sound - available in 6” or 3” thickness) and Europe (Rockwool Sound Insulation - available in 100mm, 70mm and 50mm thickness). Our insulation came in a pack of 12.

WOOD:

We used square planed softwood. Choose timber that is slightly thicker than your insulation. For example, we used 50mm insulation but the wood was 69mm wide! The extra space behind the insulation actually improves sound attenuation. For our 1200x400mm insulation bats we used about 3.8 metres of wood for each panel.

FABRIC:

We got our fabric from eBay. Search for ‘cotton muslin’ and pick a color! Alternatively, check out local suppliers. We kept our panels plain, but you might prefer something more ornate. For the back of the panel we used landscaping weed fabric.

FITTINGS:

We used picture hardware to hang our panels. This minimizes damage to the walls. Search for ‘picture d-ring two hole’ and ‘double nail picture hook’. You’ll need two of each for each panel.

OTHER BITS:

You’ll need wood glue and screws! We used 11 screws per panel.
