Akupanel, Snake oil or legitimate?

there is this company called woodupp that is making some pretty looking acoustic panels called Akupannel.



Now it looks fucking awesome and they come in packs of 2.4m height (which is a standard height in architecture too) and I'm really curious about whether this product is something that everyone should want in their homes or not.

There wasn't any particular balsy claims in the site, and they seem to be focusing on reducing reverberations in big homes than 'Hi-Fi' applications.

Now I was wondering, how can someone determines if they need a product like this? What's the strategy behind the placement of acoustic panels? I don't feel that's a topic that is often discussed on the forums. It's a legitimate product. It's felt with wooden slats on the face.

Below is the expected absorption.

They did not give the test report so some of the assumptions (dimensions of the panels used in the test, mounting) are unclear. We can assume that it's based on their installation guide, which asks for having 45mm or ~1.8 inches of mineral mounted on the wall behind the panels.

The wooden slats are too small to act as diffusors. They instead act as partial reflective panels so that the highs aren't damped too much.

The main effect of absorbers is on reverberation time and the strength of reflections. They are a limited form of tone control besides having effects on perceived clarity, spaciousness and envelopment. In rooms the biggest issues for music are in the bass region below 200Hz, where reverberation is difficult to control, where this product and other velocity-based absorbers (like foam) are ineffective unless very thick.

In a regular room the furnishings will work largely in the same spectrum as this product. I'm sure it will sound nice if applied to the whole wall like they recommend, especially if you've never used absorbers before. But don't put it on a single side wall.

I would guess that this product is aimed at architects/decorators/developers for hotels and domestic spaces.

Bottom line is that if you know what you're doing with mounting you can use it to good effect. Just don't expect miracles.

We have an entire side wall empty on our living room, I wanted to hang a big beautiful rug up there but then my partner brought this up because of how good it looks.

The problem is that the opposite wall is basically 20% reinforced concrete and 80% double glazed windows, so the difference in absorption would be enormous I think. In my place, I have concrete / drywalls. I ordered woodupp akupanels and got them delivered to my place recently.

My studio "niche" has treated front/side walls and partially ceiling, however the back extends to kitchen/living room and there's no treatment there.

For first test, I've put two 240x60cm panels on back wall (concrete covered with drywall) - leaving most of back wall still uncovered. Even with that small amount of panels, I measured nice clarity improvement in highs and reduced reverberation time (by up to 50ms from ca. 300-500ms) affecting frequencies from 300-400Hz upwards. Audible effect was very nice, vocals and highs are clearer and definitely much more fun to listen to. My room has some "harsh" highs. Those were especially exposed on Genelec's (I decided to not buy them for this reason). Just two panels on back wall (distanced ca. 5m from listening position) have slightly improved this problem.

Last week I've installed 9 out of 13 panels, on one side wall (which I use for TV and have another set of speakers there) and one other back wall. Audible effect on speech is very nice, room reverberation time has decreased. I did not measure changes with REW yet and I didn't have much time to listen/mix after installation. Just quick check with clapping around the room and speaking/signing sounds better than it did before, for sure. Measurements are still to be done.

Installation was actually pretty easy. If you have sockets/switches, this is some extra work. Effects are definitely rewarding.
I didn't use rockwool/studs, mounted akupanels directly on wall. I mostly don't care about noise coming from outside, for me it's about absorption/diffusion and visual effect. Woodupp allows ordering samples - they were delivered quickly and it really helped in getting kind of "wow" effect, by choosing visually fitting material.

Do you think that the effect of cheaper options will be as nice as those?, Like the ones from https://akupanel-store.nl/ . I want also to buy them, but I find much cheaper options online. What do you guys think?
