Sound Absorption

The most popular method of lowering room reverberation is to add some kind of sound-absorbing material. When sound-absorbing materials are utilised, sound cannot bounce back off the walls back to the  source; instead, it must pass through them and strike the walls.

Acoustic Panels for your podcast room

There will be some reverberation and echo in your podcast room, which can seriously degrade the recording's quality. Echo and substandard sound quality may be an issue if you select a space with plenty of hard surfaces, such brick walls, concrete floors, or bare ceilings.

Installing acoustic panels on walls is a pretty simple process when done correctly. Fabric-covered acoustic panels absorb up to 90% of the extra sound and noise in a space. Even in small rooms, a few wall-mounted panels can produce clearer recordings and better audio quality.

Torann Acoustics can even print a pattern on the cloth to your specifications. This way, you can be your podcast logos, sport or music related pictures, whilst improving the soundproofing of your recording studio.
