Sound Acoustics
Controlling sound is about taking the clutter out of sound so that you can hear clearly. In an untreated room, a listener hears not only the direct sound from the source, but also the sound that has echoed freely off the walls, floor, and ceiling. These echoes (called reflections) compete with each other and distort what is being heard. For a recording studio, this means excess unwanted sound recorded into your mix. For a control booth, this means not hearing mixes accurately. For a noisy classroom, this means needing to speak louder in an attempt to overpower competing sounds.

Acoustic wall panels are used to help improve the sound inside a room. The design increases a surface’s area which absorbs sound waves, preventing them from causing slap back echo and reverb in a room. They are a great solution for spot treating recording studios, home theaters, vocal booths, offices, and more.
