At Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2026, GIK Acoustics Head of Europe David Shevyn sat down with Audio T to discuss how rooms shape sound — and what listeners can do about it. From speaker placement basics to targeted acoustic treatment, the conversation covered why great hi-fi performance starts with understanding your room, not just upgrading your equipment.

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.
