As an award-winning integrated digital production company based out of Chicago, Utopic’s main objective has always been to deliver the highest quality of content, at a height most would dare not trek.

With no ceiling on where technology is taking people, the expectations in what Utopic produces must match that of the audience– both visually & sonically. So, when we began the construction on our Online Edit Suite, Utopic’s Audio Director, Brian Leitner, turned to Glenn Kuras and Bryan Pape, at GIK Acoustics.

“After combing through a handful of similar options, we were consistently drawn back to GIK for many reasons” says Leitner. “Obviously, our first objective was to tame the rooms reflections, while delivering a finished & accurate final product. GIK delivered. Secondly, GIK offered screen printed artwork on their panels. A clever perk that added so much to the room. Having finished panels that are both artful and acoustically sound was a win-win. And third, getting acquainted with Glenn and Bryan early on was the punctuation mark on the end of this fabulous process,” adds Leitner.

To say the least, the bridge needed to advance Utopic to that next level was helped by the hands at GIK Acoustics.

We applaud you, GIK.

GIK Acoustics PIB Vocal Booth Pro Reviewed by Sound On Sound

GIK Acoustics PIB Vocal Booth Pro Reviewed by Sound On Sound

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. Rather than attempting soundproofing, the PIB Vocal Booth Pro focuses on controlling early reflections and decay around the microphone, resulting in cleaner, more consistent vocal recordings. Built using thick, broadband absorption and a modular design, it avoids the common pitfalls of thin, foam-based solutions. The review reinforces the PIB Vocal Booth Pro’s role as a serious acoustic tool designed for real-world studios and modern recording workflows.
