Portable Isolation Booth (PIB)
The Portable Isolation Booth (PIB) is ideal for creating professional-quality recordings on-the-go. This portable booth is designed to significantly reduce sound reflections and reverberation, ensuring focused vocal clarity. It uses sustainable sound-absorbing materials instead of acoustic foam, offering broadband absorption for mid-to-high frequencies and is perfect for voiceover work, audiobook narration, and podcasting. In addition, with the Alpha and Impression plates available, these devices can be reversible with absorption on one side and diffusion on the other, for perfect control of room acoustics in your recordings.
Screen Panel
The Screen Panel is a portable, versatile solution for isolating microphones and vocalists from unwanted sound reflections. Its high-quality sound absorption makes it perfect for voice actors, broadcasters, or any voice recorder who need consistent results in different environments.
FreeStand Bass Trap
The FreeStand Bass Trap tackles low-end frequency buildup, crucial in spaces experiencing bass issues or standing waves. In addition to controlling bass frequencies, this panel offers excellent broadband absorption for overall sonic improvements in any recording studio or vocal booth environment.
Why Choose Portable Acoustic Vocal Booths?
Recording vocals, voiceovers, or any audio content in untreated spaces often results in excessive room sound reflections, reverberation, and unwanted ambient noise. Portable devices such as vocal booths, shields, and acoustic panels significantly enhance recording quality by absorbing and managing sound reflections, helping capture clearer, more accurate audio. Whether you have a home recording studio, a vocal booth, a live room or even work in open, untreated rooms, these treatments provide immediate sonic improvements. They can also be helpful in home theaters or listening rooms when we can't install permanent treatments, especially when placed near the speakers and listening position.
FAQs
How close should acoustic panels be to the microphone?
Acoustic panels should ideally be placed close to the microphone and performer without obstructing performance or microphone positioning. The closer the placement, the more effective the panels are at reducing room sound and reflections. Ultimately performance is more about coverage area than anything, so the more square footage of baffles or other treatment options the better.
Do acoustic treatments provide soundproofing?
Treatment strategies primarily improve sound quality within a room by controlling reflections and reverberation. While they help reduce acoustic noise, they do not fully stop sound from entering or leaving a space, which requires dedicated soundproofing.

Will acoustic treatments completely eliminate room reverb?
Acoustic treatments drastically reduce room reverb and reflections but may not eliminate them entirely. Strategic placement of acoustic panels provides optimal sound absorption and clarity.
Can portable acoustic treatments replace a full vocal booth?
Portable treatments offer significant acoustic improvements, especially in smaller or temporary setups. While they may not fully replace the isolation of a dedicated vocal booth, they provide excellent results without permanent installations.

What is the difference between broadband absorbers and bass traps?
All broadband absorbers address a wide frequency range. For thinner devices that’s midrange and treble), while thicker devices also absorb low frequencies and reduce standing waves in the bass range.
How do portable treatments affect recordings of instruments like guitars?
Portable acoustic devices improve instrument recording clarity by reducing unwanted reflections, resulting in tighter, more natural-sounding recordings.
Can vocal booths help podcasters and broadcasters?
Absolutely. Vocal booths provide cleaner, clearer audio by significantly reducing ambient noise and room reflections.
Why doesn't GIK use acoustic foam?
