Build Recording Studios

Mandi Acoustics provides sound proofing and acoustic treatment products, solutions, and installations for project studios, home studios, commercial recording studios and broadcast studios.

Reverberation and Sound Pressure

The relation of reverberation and sound pressure is a major factor in the sound insulation properties of a recording studio. Whereas the sound pressure of a voice or an instrument is relatively invariable, the target in the recording room is to effectively reduce the reverb time in order to achieve the perfect and ideal reverb time for the studio, which is best achieved by using profiled acoustic elements specifically designed for recording room dampening and recording room optimization. In order to achieve balanced recording studio acoustics, you can use recording studio acoustic elements. Our Acoustic Foam is available in a large variety of surfaces, such as Mandiflat Foam. To combat flutter echoes, it is sometimes sufficient to line 30% of the wall, ceiling and floor surface with Choic Acoustical Foam to improve the sound in a rehearsal room or recording studio. For outward recording studio sound insulation or for recording studio sound dampening in general, the best results are achieved through a large surface lining with Acoustic Panels with high material thickness. This permits individual noise protection and solutions for different spatial forms and styles of music. GoBooth in rehearsal rooms may not be neglected for optimal musical and recording results.

Dubbing Room Soundproofing

How to insulate a dubbing room? Dubbing room insulation is important just like the recording studio setup. Another aspect is dubbing room soundproofing which is crucial for the location of a drum kit or E-drums within a recording studio. It requires an individual soundproof solution and special recording room acoustics. To improve the recording room acoustics we have to consider that apart from airborne sound, a drum kit also emits structure-borne sound in high-intensity to the floor, the floor beneath the drum kit must be acoustically decoupled by means of a drum pedestal: for recording studio insulation, the floor is covered with Acoustic Foam which is in turn covered with a floating floor wood panel. To improve rehearsal room acoustics, floating Ceiling Clouds absorber for recording rooms and recording studios that is mounted above the recording room drums kit constitutes an additional, elegant possibility to add an effective acoustic interior design highlight to recording and rehearsal room sound protection.

We also produce specially designed high-quality Acoustic Boards and rehearsal room Acoustic Foam on request. For commercial users, Mandi Acoustics products are available in different fire protection classes.

Recording Studios are typically multi-room facilities that require maximum sound quality and minimum bleed from room to room. For broadcast, voice-over, recording, mixing, rehearsal, editing or dubbing, the ability to acoustically isolate one rooms noise from the next, and then control the reverberation times within each space, will play a critical role in the success of any music studio setting. More than any other commercial space we treat, there is no greater need for premium sound quality than the recording studio market. For new build or retrofit, the sound proofing treatments available at Mandi Acoustics are state-of-the-art and designed to meet your every need.

Recording Studio Soundproofing

There are two steps involved in producing premium acoustics within a recording studio space. The first is to isolate one room noise from the next. The second is to produce premium sound quality within each room by controlling excessive reverb to deliver maximum clarity to original sound.

  • Room Isolation

    By minimizing sound pockets and vibrations in your home cinema, we give you the fullest possible dynamic range (that’s the difference between the softest and loudest sounds you can hear). Any common window treatments should be given careful thought. A full vertical window should have a double pane glass assembly, each pane of glass to help combat a different frequency pitch of noise, and the panes should be separated by an argon gas fill. We also recommend the use of track lighting in your studio (if you have finished ceilings) rather than recessed lights. Any recess lighting will create new flanking paths for noise to bleed in and out of your room. Minimize the holes you need to cut into your surrounding walls and ceiling. If you have a drop grid ceiling tile system, anchor a set of Ceiling Caps atop your ceiling tiles to deaden sound bleed.

  • Room Acoustical Analysis

    We measure and model your room in cutting-edge acoustic modellers like Ease & Odeon to understand the acoustic issues you’re facing. Then we develop solutions and review them with you. You’ll understand the causes of your room’s issues, how its acoustics compare to best practices, and you’ll receive a written acoustic analysis report.

  • Low Frequency Optimization

    To isolate one room noise from the next, you need to disconnect the rooms from each other using high density material. This “density + disconnection” sound proofing formula is the only one that works. Our proprietary layering system achieve 90% reduction in sound bleed through common surfaces. If you have a drop ceiling grid system, our high Ceiling Tiles and GeoWool can also achieve isolation for ceilings. Any common window treatments should be given careful thought. A full vertical window should have a double pane glass assembly, each pane of glass to help combat a different frequency pitch of noise, and the panes should be separated by an argon gas fill.

  • 2D & 3D Home Theater Designs

    Our home theater design process begins with analysis of sight lines and speaker coverage. Using your requirements on how the theater will be used and which elements to include, we arrange seating, speakers, subwoofers, and the video system. The layout will meet both your needs and industry standards, and we provide a CAD schematic showing component placements with full 3D design to ensure that you know exactly what you’re getting before you start your build. If you’re planning to self-build a HIFI home cinema installation, don’t worry – you’re in good company! It is estimated that you can recover your entire investment in two years by just avoiding commercial cinema halls, and once you’ve built a high quality home cinema room, statistics show that you will cut down commercial cinema visits by 90%. Home cinemas require much more than the typical room acoustics of residential spaces. Reverberation and disturbing background noise reduce the listening experience, to say nothing of unwanted noise pollution for the neighbours. Nonetheless, home cinema sound insulation and home cinema soundproofing is quite simple with professional tools. If you want to improve your home cinema sound you can bring professional quality to your home theatre ambience by perfectly matching the positioning of the room’s loudspeakers, sound and seating position.

Project / Residential Studios

For low budget residential projects, the GeoWool, Choic Acoustical Foam or Mandiflat Foam are the most common treatment. These are lower cost, acoustical foam panels designed to capture echo. Call us on 078 562 5428 or contact our sales team

Commercial Recording Studios

For commercial studio space, you can use a combination of Choic Acoustical Foam panels and M50 Acoustical panels.

Acoustic Testing & Results

We can raise the STC values of a standard brick wall construction from an average of 38 to over 60 if your goal is to control the bleeding of noise through the common surfaces. Once the rooms are properly isolated, the absorption coefficients within each room can trigger NRC values that will absorb up to 90% of your unwanted reverberation within each room, leaving clear crisp sounds and harmonic tones for ultimate recording purposes.
