Q&A: Sound absorption

 
 

How many absorbers do I need in my studio or at home?

Every good music studio or rehearsal room needs absorbing and diffusing panels on more than 50 % of its wall area, with absorbers playing the major part. In a home listening room or home theatre, they should occupy at least 20 % of the wall area while large commercial spaces such as offices and restaurants typically require a tailor-made solution.

Where do I place the absorbing panels?

The very first thing to do is cover the first reflection points on the walls between the source of sound and the listening position. That way you eliminate early reflections. If you don't do this, the sound waves will bounce off the walls and interfere with the direct waves from the speakers, resulting in a sound that’s not clear and balanced.

How do I know if my room needs acoustic treatment?

Listen to music in an acoustically treated room just once, and you will never want anything else. The clarity of sound and lack of coloration is sure to blow your mind.

That said, acoustic treatment offers a range of benefits even if you hardly ever listen to music.

Acoustic panels improve the soundscape and facilitate communication in residential as well as commercial spaces because they absorb unwanted echoes and noise (people talking, phones ringing, electronic equipment humming, chairs scraping). This in turn translates into a reduction of stress, improvement of productivity, and increased well-being and ability to learn.

In short, acoustic treatment will make your life better in ways you never even imagined.
