Refer to the table below to determine how much
product to order. Keep in mind
double
layering the sheets will provide best results. (Audimute does
not recommend cutting the sheets. Instead, sheets can easily be folded
to fit your personal size requirements.) From a 4' x 4' room (a
perfect closet vocal booth) to a 12' x 14' room or larger (larger studio
sound proofing), Audimute has you covered!
Vocal Booth
Cover all dense
surface areas with double layer of sheets (single layer may be used but
will not be as effective). Keep in mind that Audimute Sound Absorption
Sheets are rated for sound absorption not isolation. However, for many
applications they do provide enough isolation for recording vocals when a
structure (closet vocal booth, small room) already exists. Ensure your
vocal booth is as airtight as possible by using weather stripping, door
seal around any doors and an airtight sweep/threshold if need be for the
bottom of the door.
Drums
Double
layer is recommended due to the wide frequency range of the instrument
coupled with high sound pressure levels. Treat right angles (corners)
with bass traps. Long Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets (3' x 8') are the
preferred choice as they cover the entire wall space.
Garage
Typically a two car
garage will need 24 sheets. The more area covered, the better.
Peacemaker, another product we manufacture for low frequency isolation,
may also come into play, but only in about 25% of our garage projects,
usually insulation of thin doors, drywall, floors and more.
The
sheets will cancel most of the mid and high frequencies and make
neighbors and house mates happy. Some lows will persist, but the
nuisance frequencies will be reduced substantially.
Audimute will
not only make your neighbors happy by reducing the amount of sound
leaving the practice space, but there is a substantial secondary
benefit... Simply put, Audimute makes for better music and musicianship.
It enables musicians to hear their music in incredible detail (i.e.
mistakes, buried in acoustic deflections, will now be heard clearly,
etc.). It quickly puts an end to the musical "shouting contest" many
bands experience as musicians increase their volume and intensity only
to hear themselves. The quality of practice time will be substantially
increased and enable a band to focus on musical dynamics. In a short
time, there will be noticeable improvements in timing, tune, tone and
instrumental technique, etc. while creating an audibly safe environment.
Window
Select enough
material to cover window, preferably in double layer. Fold sheets for
smaller windows if necessary.
Apartment
Our product is most
often used on both sides of the wall (in other words, covering the
shared wall in both rooms). You would want to cover both sides of the
wall and if possible (budget allowing) in double layer.
