- GIK Acoustics shows how to best hang our GIK Acoustic 242 Acoustic Panels, 244 Bass Traps, and Monster Bass Traps on walls and in corners. All of these acoustic panels come with pre-installed eyehooks seated in the rear frame. A feature of our FlexRange Series includes an air gap which allows for deeper frequency absorption and hanging flush to the wall. Acoustic panels are perfect for hanging in corners to reduce bass buildup and on walls at reflection points to mitigate comb filtering, noise reduction, stereo imaging smearing, and echo.
We look at our preferred hardware to use, and a quick how-to guide on measuring and hanging acoustic panels on walls and in corners.

For other OCD people attempting to hang these with picture wire, I would recommend picking up a hook and eye turnbuckle from the hardware store for each panel you’re going to hang. This gives you the ability to tighten/loosen the picture wire without having to start over for small adjustments in height on wall.
Just read this having undone and redone wire lengths 1000 time 😅
This OCD person thanks you for this tip.
Excellent tips for corner mountings!!!!
Thanks for the tips! :D
This couldn't have been posted at a better time! I was just getting ready to hang my new 244 panels and found this video, just posted today! Great timing!
Great to hear!
@@GIKAcousticsLLC what is the ideal space to leave between the panel and the wall? thanks!
@@laucharicogomez2009Same thickness as panel but no more. If u do go Further away from the wall than what your panel is thick you will start to get other problems with different frequencies.
Pure gEnIUs!
That’s great. Do you have a video or advise how to mount the panel on the wall but with air gap?
Perhaps showing installation fully would be helpful, also update this to recommend the 3m claw, those things are amazing
Ook Hooks - they will work on wood? Installing 244 bass trap panels - CEILING and 2 SIDES in my 4' x 4' x 6' Vocal Booth - other two sides of vocal booth have 2 X 3 foot double pane plexiglass windows. Presently have carpeting lining vocal booth walls and ceiling. Do I hang bass traps over existing carpeting (walls) - suspend from ceiling (over carpeting)?
What kind of fabric is on the back of that panel?
What are the name of those Fasteners that you use to hang them on?
They recommended Ook Hooks
How do you determine how high on the wall to hang the panels? Thanks!
You will want to make sure you are absorbing the first reflections that will travel to the ear initially, so a good rule is to hang a 2'x4' panel 2 feet from the bottom of the panel to the floor to ensure adequate coverage. Of course this may depend on the features of the room or wall, which is why we have created several different shapes for each product, allowing you to make sure you can place your panels in the right areas with the appropriate amount of absorption.
@@GIKAcousticsLLC how do you find a “first reflection”? Thanks!
We created an entire video on the subject:

Are Ook hooks recommended for plasterwall too?
Ook hooks should work just as well in Plaster as they do in drywall
@@GIKAcousticsLLC Thanks so much!
@GIK Acoustics what is the ideal space to leave between the panel and the wall? thanks!
Just under an inch
@@campar1043 thanks! does the same apply for the ceiling?
i think so, those usually hang
An air gap of 1.5 inches maximizes the effectiveness of the acoustic material. We have designed our panels with a built-in air-gap on our 242 Acoustic Panels, 244 Bass Traps, and Monster Bass Traps to allow the product to sit flush against the wall but give the benefits of an air gap.
Aslong as u don't Exceed the thickness of your panel so if you have a 2" panel only go 2 inches from the wall if you have a 4" panel only go 4" from the wall.
When mounting in corners, how do you determine how long to make the picture wire for each Ook hook?
I hung mine but it was a lot of guessing and redoing; I had placed the marks 14” from the corner as suggested but had to guess on the hook height and wire length
Everything is great except the cloud hanging brackets. The panels are wobbly and they’re fully screwed in with the drywall screws. They don’t feel secure.
how are they, still wobbly?
@@kbvdoe Yeah still wobbly. Just sort of came to terms with it. I just make sure not to mess with them and they stay up fine
@@iAmTonySaint damn wtf, i’m waiting on mine to get here
@@kbvdoe Takes quite a while, which is fine since they have to make them from scratch I think, just be sure to order the correct sizes
@@iAmTonySaint facts
What about the Monster Bass Trap horizontally? I don't want the wires to be visible
Yes, you can tie the wires tighter so they don't show. The air gap on the back will allow the panel to sit flush on the wall. You can absolutely hang the panels horizontally as well, but may need to specify this during checkout.
Just tried this and the wires tightened up like guitar strings, making a noisy mess. Definitely not recommending this method
