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 (7.5' x 4.5') 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.
