The HA600-75 has been installed in a variety of applications for the last two years, from fully professional studios, audio schools and projects studios to home theatre. Because of the ability to easily change the acoustic characteristics of the panel, it means you can easily change the sound of your room if required. A bit [...]
I’ve finally got around to uploading SoundAcoustics products as Trimble Sketchup. Sketchup is a great free 3D modelling program that makes designing a room layout reasonably easy. There are video tutorials to get you going, and components for a room such as a desk etc can be downloaded from the 3D warehouse. SoundAcoustics products can [...]
It’s been a busy last few months, and in particular we’ve been installing the HA600-75 hybrid acoustic panel in the newly revamped Studio 2 at JMC Academy Melbourne. They have installed some nice outboard gear as well, a 24 track Toft console, boutique pres, SSL interfaces etc. A great recording experience for first year students. [...]

Mark is a qualified acoustician who has lectured audio engineering at a higher education level for over five years. He holds a Masters in Acoustics with Honours from USyd, has developed acoustics curriculum and lectured on acoustics at [...]
Sound proofing and treating room acoustics are two separate issues. I commonly get asked about how to stop a drummer or band from annoying the neighbours and asked will acoustic foam reduce noise. The simple answer is, no. Some of this confusion is propagated by various retailers misleadingly selling acoustic foam for the purpose of [...]
Unfortunately there is no standard for measuring corner bass traps, unlike flat wall mounted acoustic panels, which we have assessed at the RMIT acoustic laboratory in Melbourne. So the most practical way of determining bass trap performance is by in-situ testing and measuring reverberation times at various frequencies. A bass trap can be tested as [...]
The first question you need to ask yourself before installing any type of acoustic treatment is: What am I trying to achieve? Generally speaking, there are two broad categories of acoustic treatment. The first is reducing the volume of harsh reflections and reverberation which are annoying to the ear in a wide range of situations. [...]
