THE LEADER IN PRACTICAL ACOUSTICS
At GIK, we don’t just sell acoustic panels, we provide solutions. Every room is different, and every client’s needs are unique, which is why we’ve built the broadest product line in the industry. From deep bass traps to hybrid absorber/diffuser panels to decorative designs that enhance creativity, our catalog empowers clients to treat their rooms without compromise.
What sets us apart is our philosophy: acoustics is not a one-size-fits-all checkbox but the foundation of how music is experienced, how voices are heard, and how decisions are made. By combining scientifically tested products with personalized design strategies, we turn ordinary rooms into environments where sound truly comes alive.
Education
Acoustics can seem like an arcane art, but we believe in making it accessible and understandable. Through our articles, videos, knowledge base, and direct consultation, we provide practical education about the science behind room treatment. We help clients cut through myths and misconceptions, giving them the knowledge to make confident choices and to better understand how sound behaves in their spaces.
Expertise
Our design team has designed tens of thousands of rooms worldwide, from professional recording studios to casual listening spaces. This experience allows us to provide free consultations that are grounded in real-world results. Each recommendation is made by an experienced acoustician or audio professional who understands both the science of acoustics and the workflow demands of audio production, ensuring that treatment plans are not only effective but practical.
Quality
Every GIK product is built with care in our own facilities in the US and Europe using safe, sustainable materials. Each design is lab-tested to guarantee performance, giving clients confidence that what they install will perform as promised. Our direct-to-customer model ensures exceptional value, pairing premium quality with prices that make professional treatment attainable for everyone.
BETTER SOUND IN EVERY ROOM
Great sound is not limited to purpose-built studios. Whether you’re mixing a record, building a home theater, or just trying to reduce echo in a restaurant or office, GIK Acoustics can transform your space. We help musicians, engineers, podcasters, businesses, and homeowners achieve clarity, balance, and comfort so their rooms better support the activities they’re designed for.
From world-class music production facilities and dedicated HiFi listening rooms, to performance venues, worship spaces, conference rooms, or voiceover booths, our mission is simple: make every room sound better. With GIK Acoustics, you don’t just buy treatment. You gain a partner in creating an environment where sound works with you, not against you.
