Portable sound dampening panels (Ashdale, S. of Gerrard Library)

We're moving again and (while these were built for portability, disassembly and reassembly) this time I'm giving away the sound-dampening walls that we use in our music / recording room.

There are now 5 panels left, sized 2' x 4' x 3.5" deep and one empty 2x4 frame. (The other 16 panels in the original ad have been picked up.)

The panels contain Roxul Safe & Sound insulation wrapped in fabric. When assembled as shown, they reduce sound transmission in and out of the room, but also greatly dampen bounce inside the room, making recording quality much clearer and less "tinny".

There are bolt-and-wing-nut fasteners for holding the panels together. The holes for the fasteners are on both sides of each panel and panels can be oriented either way and the holes will still line-up. You'll probably find that bolting one side only when attaching them to the wall is fine, but you'll want to do both sides when creating free-standing walls. The same holes that hold the panels together can also be used for clipping them to the wall (but you'll need to work out your own wall-fastening technique.

The "feet" for making the walls free-standing have been taken by other folks (but certainly possible to create your own. I just used the same bolts for bolting small 1' planks to the bottom).
