Acoustic treatment isn’t just a “nice‑to‑have” — it’s the foundation of accurate sound, no matter how impressive your gear setup might be. That point comes across clearly in Sound On Sound’s recent overview of broadband absorbers, where the article highlights how different styles of panels and materials work to control reflections and tame room energy across a wide range of frequencies.

Luke Wood from Sound on Sound, explores absorbers from a variety of manufacturers, breaking down how each solution performs in real‑world spaces. Among them, GIK Acoustics Amplitude Line stands out for pairing broadband absorption with thoughtful diffusion — not just muffling sound, but shaping it.

"It’s all too tempting to start looking at a nice new pair of monitors when you’re looking to improve your mixing environment."

The takeaway? If you're serious about sound, gear can only go so far when the room is fighting against you. Broadband absorption manages reflections and reverberation and creates a room that doesn't lie. 

Acoustic Treatment is an investment; one that matters. Panels that absorb across a broad frequency range help reveal what your gear is really capable of — improving clarity, imaging, and confidence in your mixes or listening experience.

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.
