This is exactly the type of treatment you need to fix the acoustics of any room. www.gikacoustics.com Many companies offer these types of products, and you should research many to see which fit's your needs the best. Good luck. |

Bronze Member Username: NencyPost Number: 97 Registered: May-09 | Most rooms usually fall in the 25% to 75% range for coverage. And this is only for walls and ceiling. This largely depends on the room design, your intentions for the room, and maybe even your style of music or content. We checked in with Auralex (the acoustic treatment know-it-alls), and they suggest the following generalizations: • Control rooms for rock, pop, rap, hip-hop, R&B, country, techno, MIDI music, etc. usually benefit from 50% to 75% coverage and mostly absorption. • Control rooms for jazz, art (classical), choral, acoustic, world and other forms of ensemble music usually benefit from 35% to 50% coverage. The only catch is that the control room be a little more ''dead'' than the main recording or ''live room.'' Diffusion is usually used more generously in these types of control rooms. • "Live rooms" will vary a lot. Some well-designed live rooms can get by with 20% coverage (or even less!). Most fall into the 25% to 50% range. And this is usually a healthy mix of absorption and diffusion. The most successful live rooms usually have some degree of variability. • Isolation booths usually call for quite a bit of absorption -- 75% or more. |
