Acoustics First® Office Space to Voice-Over Suite

Acoustical Panels in a Voice-Over Studio
This office space was converted into a voice-over production suite for Moe Rock. Installed are 2’x4′ acoustical wall panels and a 2’x4′ acoustical ceiling cloud over the listening position. A corner bass trap was created using corner impaling clips with one of the standard Sonora Panels.
With a wide range of available recording equipment, from computers to hand held devices, recording audio is easier than ever! With some simple gear and a good microphone, a quality recording is just moments away. However, before you begin, take a few moments and consider Acoustics First! If proper acoustical material is not in place, you may be recording unwanted room modes or excessive reverberation. Our brains, in combination with our eyes and ears, can compensate in less than ideal conditions, whereas microphones cannot.
Acoustics First Corporation supplies acoustical panels and soundproofing materials to control sound and eliminate noise in commercial, residential, government, and institutional applications worldwide. Products include the patented Art Diffusor®, sound absorbers, noise barriers, acoustical fabrics and accessories.

Cloudscape Ceiling Baffle (CSBF15P) 4’x2′ x 1.5″
Acoustics First® adds more ways to get ‘Baffled’ and improve large room acoustics.
Acoustics First® has ‘amped up’ the Cloudscape® line of ceiling baffles. These acoustical baffles reduce reverberation in applications such as gymnasiums, auditoriums, performance venues, theaters and restaurants. They can be suspended from open truss and pre-engineered suspension systems or alternatively mounted direct to a roof deck or wall. In addition to the standard 4’x2′ x1.5″ PVC encapsulated ‘echo-nomical’ baffle, Acoustics First® has expanded the selection to include three alternate finishes. If you wish to upgrade the size of the standard PVC Cloudscape® Ceiling Baffle, we now have a 2″ thick option available in sizes up to 4’x10′, with some limitations. If you wish to upgrade the finish, you can choose the durable rip-stop nylon sailcloth, product code CSBF2S with 9 color choices. If sailcloth doesn’t ‘float your boat’, choose the fabric encapsulated Cloudscape® Baffle. The CSBF2F is encapsulated in a sewn Guilford of Maine® FR701® fabric and will coordinate with the Sonora® ridgid acoustical wall panels. The acoustical ceiling baffles are extended even further with an offering of exterior grade fabric for outdoor applications. Overall, you now have 4 choices of baffle configurations, more sizes and 96 finish options. Additionally, all the 2″ thick options use environmentally friendly Ecose® glass fiber.

About Acoustics First® Corporation
Posted by Acoustics First in Company Information on February 6, 2012
The principals of Acoustics First® have been in the acoustics arena since the seventies, when they introduced industrial foam as an acoustic panel for recording studios. Back then, everything had to be built by hand since there were no off-the-shelf acoustic solutions. We now supply many types of acoustical materials including: acoustical foams, fabric wrapped panels, sound diffusers, noise barrier materials, acoustical fabrics, bass traps, and ceiling treatments. Sound control materials are not only restricted to use in the recording industry but are used in many applications including: Home Entertainment Rooms, Music Rehearsal Spaces, Industrial Noise Control, Court Houses, Houses of Worship, Gymnasiums, Dog Kennels, Schools, Restaurants, Museums and much more.
Acoustics First will make every effort to help you determine the right sound control materials for your application.

Sonora® Series Acoustical Panels
Posted by Acoustics First in Press Release, Products on July 6, 2011
Custom Cut Sonora Acoustical Wall panels
Like the dry sands of the Sonoran desert, the Sonora Series of acoustical panels absorb sound to dry up echo and reverberation. The sound is lost in the landscape of acoustical fibers to improve speech intelligibility and silence room overtones. Removing the excess sound of the room improves the ability of broadcast equipment to efficiently produce crystal clear sound over the airwaves. Sonora panels mount to the walls or can be configured as ceiling tiles, baffles or clouds. Available in many standard sizes and colors, they can also be custom cut to meet specific requirements or shaped to create designs to accentuate room décor.
