An acrylic shield that makes a big difference

When recording sound using the overdub method, crosstalk from neighbouring sound sources is usually not a problem. However, if all artists are recorded simultaneously, unwanted crosstalk between neighbouring sound sources can occur, especially in (excessively) small recording rooms. One of the instruments that always stands out in this context is the drums. The DS5-5 Drum Shield from t.akustik is an adequate solution to this dilemma and at the same time offers the advantage that the transparency of the acrylic allows eye contact between the artists.

Easy to handle and practical to transport

The DS5-5 Drum Shield consists of five individual panels that are joined together with the corresponding connectors (hinges). Once the panels are connected to each other, handling is very simple. To make the DS5-5 Drum Shield portable, the panels fold together in an accordion style, and conversely, they are folded out again during setup - it doesn't get much easier than that. Each panel is 166 cm high, 60 cm wide, and 5.5 mm thick. When assembled, the DS5-5 Drum Shield has a length of 300 cm. When folded and with a total weight of about 36 kg, it can just about be carried under your arm.

For sound engineers and instrumentalists

Technicians in the studio are by no means the only people who want to shield certain sound sources. There are also situations during live shows where shielding can come in handy, and it can also be put to adequate use in the rehearsal room. The DS5-5 Drum Shield from t.akustik is a transparent acrylic screen that offers reliable sound shielding in every situation and can thus ensure effective volume control. Thanks to its very reasonable purchase price, it offers both professional and semi-professional users attractive value for money.

About t.akustik

t.akustik has been part of the Thomann portfolio since 1997 and has established a solid reputation through its quality products at affordable prices. The brand specialises in all items that optimise the acoustics of recording studios, or any room in which music is to be recorded, by neutralising possible interferences as much as possible. So, if you need absorbers, sound diffusers, bass traps, and much more, t.akustik's extensive range is definitely worth checking out.

For the stage, studio, and rehearsal room

Even if the DS5-5 Drum Shield's name already indicates its preferred area of use, it is also suitable for shielding amplifiers and other instruments, a job that it does just as well. Apart from the professional areas of use on stage and in the studio, the DS5-5 Drum Shield can of course also be a great asset in private use. After all, the volume in small rehearsal rooms can be deafening, so even the smallest amount of damping is an improvement to the situation. In short: Your ears will thank you.

Not a job for one peron

Shaun D. 03.03.2021

Once the drum shield is assembled it is an excellent product for noise reduction. The one thing that is not mentioned in any advertising or promotion of the product is that it is extremely difficult to assemble. The included instructions are poor to say the least.Attaching the invisible hinges to the prespex sheets is a most testing task.......but we got there in the end by as the included instruction "soldier for the final product,so please keep patient"! Have to add patience was wearing thin at times! It would be most delightful if this came already assembled from the manufacturer.

Lots of Lubricant

Drumaddict 19.05.2025

Well it’s a 5 panel 5 foot high drum screen .
It’s well packaged for transport but it’s heavy - not something for 1 person to lift by themselves. The panels are sturdy and of a good thickness - just like me! The hinges are good quality. The fun part is putting the hinges in the slots on the panels. Lots of lubricant is essential - wd as opposed to anything else with 2 letters? Patience and a high ceiling are also necessary for sliding a 5 foot hinge into vertical slots on five foot panels! It is possible for 1 person to do by themselves but probably easier with 2 people - it took me a couple of hours. Once built it is very solid and if you follow the instructions properly it will fold for storage. Cheaper than the other brand and just as good!

HEAVY

Chris sound 09.02.2025

The surpression is good but there is one big drawback for handling it.It is heavy and not easy to manipulate. You need more people.
