Common questions
How many acoustic panels do I need for a home studio?
For a typical 10x12-foot room, four to six 12x12-inch panels at first reflection points (sides and ceiling) plus two corner bass traps cover 80% of perceived improvement. Going beyond that brings diminishing returns until you reach pro-level treatment.
Where should I place acoustic foam panels?
First reflection points: walls beside your listening position and the ceiling above. Corners get bass traps to control low-frequency buildup. The wall behind monitors benefits from absorption. Don't cover all walls — that creates a dead, lifeless room.
Is foam or fiberglass better for acoustic treatment?
Fiberglass (Owens Corning 703, GIK, ATS Acoustic Panels) absorbs more low-mid energy than foam at the same thickness — a measurable difference. Foam is cheaper and easier to mount; it works for high-frequency damping. For serious mixing, fiberglass; for broadcast desk taming, foam is enough.
