  • Installation: Studio foam requires permanent installation. Adhesive is required to install Studiofoam. This method will damage the surface should studiofoam need to be removed. Unlike Studio foam, Audimute acoustic absorption products do not require permanent installation. Audimute products can quickly and easily be moved.
  • Durability: As Studiofoam foam ages, it can harden and crack. Colored Studiofoam will also discolor over time. Audimute acoustic materials are made from natural and recycled materials and the products will hold up much better than Studio foam.
  • Product Choice: For simple, portable, affordable and highly effective acoustic absorption, Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets are a better alternative over Studiofoam. For rooms where aesthetics are key, Audimute acoustic panels are the best choice.
  • Environmental benefits: Audimute products are eco-friendly! Choosing Audimute over studiofoam is a better choice not only for your environment, but the greater environment as well.
