Acoustic Treatment
Acoustic treatment is the key to significantly improving the sound quality in your room when recording, mixing or mastering. It can be used to absorb and diffuse unwanted frequencies for a more accurate sound while reducing reverberation, standing waves and noise – a must for studios, home theatres or gaming rooms.

About Acoustic Treatment
Acoustic treatment is the solution you need to improve the acoustic quality of your space. The treatment comes in many forms, and some spaces may even need multiple types of treatments to achieve the optimum possible sound quality. Acoustic treatment is essential in rooms where sound quality and noise control are paramount, such as recording studios and home theatres.
There are two main types of acoustic treatment: absorption and diffusion. Absorption stops unwanted frequencies from reflecting into the listening, recording, or mixing position. Absorbers are made from materials such as foam to prevent sound energy from bouncing off surfaces like walls and ceilings. Diffusion scatters problematic reflections in different directions to reduce standing waves. Acoustic diffusers are crafted from rigid materials such as wood and arranged in patterns of various sizes, heights, or surface directions. Most effective acoustic treatments use a combination of absorption and diffusion to achieve the best results.
Acoustic treatment for home studios is used to control the frequency response of your space for optimised listening experiences. Effective acoustic room treatment will mean that you can be confident knowing your mixing or mastering will sound good across any system it may be played on!
It's important to distinguish between soundproofing and acoustic treatment. Soundproofing aims to minimise the level of sound entering or leaving a space by creating a physical barrier. In contrast, acoustic treatment focuses on minimising sound reflections within the room to create the best possible sound quality.
Acoustic Treatment FAQs
What is acoustic treatment?
Acoustic treatment is the process of improving the acoustic properties of a room to achieve optimal sound quality. It focuses on controlling sound reflections to reduce echoes and noise. This is achieved through the use of various materials and devices that absorb, diffuse, or reflect sound waves.
What are the two types of acoustic treatment?
The two types of acoustic treatment are absorbers and diffusers. Absorbers are panels placed at reflection points to absorb mid and high frequencies, reducing reverberation. Diffusers break up focused reflections using uneven surfaces, scattering sound to prevent flutter echoes and harsh resonances.
Why do I need acoustic treatment?
You need acoustic treatment to ensure accurate sound representation by flattening the frequency response of a room. This allows you to mix and master music with confidence, knowing it will translate well on other systems. Acoustic treatment minimizes reflections and enhances overall sound quality.
