studio acoustics monitoring to insulation perfect sound for every studio

Whoever sets up their own home studio nowadays usually does so in rooms that have to fulfill other, usually higher-level functions. Whether it is the studio corner in the study or the desktop studio on a desk in the bedroom - everywhere you have to make compromises in terms of space requirements and spatial sound. In practice, most rooms are right-angled, as this design is the most cost-effective on the one hand and guarantees universal usability on the other.

This is because strong reflections on the walls, standing waves or dominant room resonances lead to a distortion of the audio material. So one usually tries to adapt the mix to the negative characteristics of the…

the most important tools for the best sound

Absorber: Frequency Dampening Absorbers are acoustic panels that are used to minimize flutter echoes, comb filtering and, as a bass trap, room modes, thus improving the listening situation, sound quality and speech intelligibility. Imagine a room with bare walls - and that your speaker integrates a firing mechanism that can fire balls at different speeds. First it hits a point on the wall, which is located on the opposite, rear side wall due to the slanted orientation of the speaker - keyword stereo triangle. Congratulations, you have just discovered an area with strong reflections. How nice it would be to place an absorber there that would prevent the bouncer from flying around and maybe even knocking over the expensive microphone! But, while lighter balls move through the room with less energy, larger…

the sum of all parts studio acoustics is not magic

Beat / Hi Lukas, classic recording studios in separate rooms are rather rare nowadays, but the number of home studios is increasing exorbitantly. No wonder, a laptop with a pair of monitor speakers is usually sufficient for producing. Has this changed the demands of your customers? Lukas/ Of course, the trend has been going on for years, more and more professionals are furnishing rooms at home where they can work, of course, due to reduced budgets or simply because they want to work in their familiar environment. At the same time, the number of hobbyists has also increased. Since the beginning of the pandemic, many people have had to think about a home solution again - professional speakers, for example. So it is definitely noticeable that large recording studios are becoming…
