Guitarists Tom Quayle and Jon Gomm sit down to discuss the importance of acoustic treatments in recording environments for both isolation and absorption. Jon prefers professionally constructed acoustic panels by GIK Acoustics to mitigate reflections and isolate the talent.

Our very own David Shevyn, Managing Director of GIK Acoustics Europe, helped Jon Gomm treat the room and explained which areas to focus on first and why. In this video, Tom Quayl (professional guitar player) and Jon Gomm sit down to discuss acoustics and the benefits of having quality acoustic treatments.

As you’ll hear in the video, acoustics is all about treating the source, not just upgrading the gear. When focusing on acoustics, the difference is incredible for not nearly the cost of the equipment and is going to allow for consistency across devices and recordings.

In this video, Jon and Tom discuss GIK Acoustics’ Impression Pro Series absorption / diffusion combination panels and their freestanding options, as well as the aesthetics that play a part in any studio to create an inspiring atmosphere for the talent.

Sound On Sound has reviewed GIK Acoustics’ PIB Pack, now known as the PIB Vocal Booth Pro, highlighting its effectiveness as a practical, professional solution for recording vocals in untreated or compromised rooms.

Built using thick, broadband absorption and a modular design, it avoids the common pitfalls of thin, foam-based solutions.
