Acoustic Foam Treatment


Owning a studio in your own house is becoming more popular now since the cost for the audio equipment has become affordable and portable. You may have all your studio equipment ready to go and record, but if your room is not acoustically treated then you have a big problem when recording and mixing. When the sound leaves the speakers, the sound bounces of the walls to the listener and sends a false signal that is not really the original signal. These false signals are known as reflections and they are a big problem that affects your sound. We can stop and control these reflections by acoustically treating the room. A popular way to do this is to buy acoustic foam and place them on your walls. You may have already gone and checked the prices for acoustic foam and seen that the prices are ridiculous for a piece of foam. The most common price for this acoustic foam is 24 pieces of 12x12 acoustic foam for $109.99. You can check them out at this link http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Wedgies/. It would seem that treating your room acoustically would put a big dent on your wallet, but it is something that has to be done to acquire the perfect true sound in your room. Today I bring you a website that will only scratch your pockets. At Foam Factory, you can find the same kind of foam for very cheap prices. You could buy 12 pieces of 12x12 acoustic foam for $15.99. You may be thinking that it has to be a knock-off for being that cheap, but the reality is that its not. The foam is identical; you are only paying more with the other foams because of the brand name. You can check them out at this link http://www.foambymail.com/AW2/acoustical-2-wedge-foam.html. Foam Factory offers different kinds of foam for you room such as, bass traps, monitor isolations, wedge foam, pyramid foam and many more. You can also pick the color that best suits your taste. I personally have purchased large amounts of acoustic foams from Foam Factory for the fraction of the price that it would have cost for the brand-name foam.
