ACOUSTICS IN A REHEARSAL ROOM

So-called porous absorbers are one way to deal with acoustical problems. The friction inside the absorber converts the energy of the air molecules into heat, thereby reducing sonic energy. To achieve this, absorbers are placed on various walls. They’re an efficient way to reduce first reflections and flutter echoes in a rehearsal space, as well as reduce overall reverberation. Less reverberation lets you hear individual instruments much more clearly, which leads to a much more pleasant acoustic experience during rehearsals.

Diffusors are another way to improve the acoustics of your rehearsal space. Even small, flat surfaces can be a source of unpleasant reflections of the mid and high frequencies. Diffusors can disperse this sonic energy, which helps to achieve a more homogenous sound. Unlike absorbers, diffusors won’t over-dampen your room or make it sound sterile and lifeless. A room with diffusors sounds larger and more lively, which can significantly improve the acoustic experience in a rehearsal room, especially when it comes to live recordings.

If overly pronounced bass frequencies are a problem in your rehearsal room, bass traps can help to keep them in check. Some instruments produce a lot of bass energy, which can build up in the corners of the room. We have special absorbers designed to solve this problem. They offer a very high absorption rate for low frequencies and should be placed in the corners.
