$10 DIY Wall Mount for Owens-Corning 703 Acoustic Panels

Post by bobg (homestudioguy) » Wed May 02, 2007 1:38 pm

Well, Mr DIY is at it again. :eek:

I designed and built some OC-703 acoustic panel wall mounts for less than $10 each using (oak-faced) 1/2 inch plywood, a 2"X4", some screws, 2 hanging brackets, 4 felt adhesive pads and 4 angle braces.
It brings the (self-covered) 2" OC-703 Acoustic Panel 4-1/2 inches away from the wall with a bare minimum of the panel being blocked, front or back.

It's not Rocket Science but it seems to work. :)

Here is link to step by step photos:

ADDITION: I bought my "naked" OC703 panels at ATS Acoustics. They liked this well enough to place photos of this on their business site at:

Yeah, looks real nice. Now cover it after you attach the mount and you wont see those brackets either... Or cut holes in the cloth and slip it in. Or mount it on the back. You know, whatever works. Looks real nice though.
