Improve The Acoustics In Studio Or Home Theater With Sound Blocking Panels

Very often a home theatre or a rehearsal or residential recording studio ends up being placed in a basement or another room that was not originally equipped to manage noise control or to provide the optimal acoustic environment.  However, you do not need to tear the room apart and remodel it; simply adding sound blocking panels can provide a decorative look while successfully muffling excess noise, feedback, and reverberations.

Sonex Junior Acoustic Panels are excellent options for noise control in a studio setting.  Made of poly foam, these panels are cut geometrically to provide 300% more sound deafening surface space to provide maximum sound absorption.  Sonex products are known in the music and media industry for their modern soundproof products and their low prices.  You can purchase these contemporary panels at audioadvisor.com for $85.00 a piece.

As the home theatre becomes increasingly popular, more and more retailers are beginning to carry noise deafening materials and supplies.  At samsclub.com, you will find Acoustic Panels that hang on your wall, much like a framed piece of artwork.  These panels are made with wood boards covered in polyester fibers that come in four different fashionable color options.  They measure 24 inches square and will work with most decorating ideas.  You can purchase these for $47.88 per panel.

With more attention placed on acoustic value than décor, Auralex SonoSuede HD Acoustic Tiles are idea for your walls or ceiling.  They are attractive, and are covered a tan material that resembles suede.  These modern panels are highly functional sound absorbing features that are a must for any home theatre.  You can purchase these panels, measuring 12 inches square, at frontendaudio.com for $229.00 for a box of 12 panels.

The portability of the Primacoustic Freeport Free Standing Acoustic Panel is one of the features that makes it such a great product.  Musicians can take it with them for rehearsals, recordings, and performances, or it can be used when needed and put away otherwise.  This makes a great replacement for permanent changes to your décor.  The stand is just under 6 feet tall, and the panel itself is about 4 feet high by 2 feet wide.  It is supported on a lightweight PVC frame, making it easy to transport.  You can purchase this panel at guitarcenter.com for $449.99.

Sound absorbing fabric covers a fibreglass core on the Decorative Acoustic Panel at grainger.com.  This panel is only available in a neutral shade of tan, but it is great for recording studios, noisy classrooms, or anywhere else that can be improved with a little noise control.  Each panel measures 2 feet wide by 4 feet high and is 1 inch thick.  You can purchase these panels for $148.25 a piece.

For serious audio control, the RPG Diffusor System can be mounted on walls or the ceiling.  These panels absorb sound and control flutter echoes with their grated panels, which provide substantially more sound absorbing surface space than simple fabric covered panels.  This sound diffusing panel is 23.62 inches square and 4 inches thick and is sold at bhphotovideo.com for $336.95 per panel.
