Vocal Booths and Recording Spaces

Why Acoustic Treatment Matters

Vocal booths and recording spaces require precise control over sound reflections, reverberation, and background noise to produce clean, professional-quality recordings. Polyurethane (PU) foam plays a critical role in achieving this by absorbing unwanted sound energy.

Key Applications of PU Foam in Vocal Booths and Recording Studios

Wall and Ceiling Panels

• Open-cell polyurethane foam panels absorb mid- to high-frequency reflections (especially human voice frequencies: ~500 Hz–4 kHz).
• Foam shapes like wedges, pyramids, or egg crates increase surface area and improve absorption.
• Installed on walls and ceilings at reflection points to reduce flutter echo and room coloration.

Corner Bass Traps

• Thicker PU foam blocks or traps are installed in corners to absorb low-frequency sound energy, minimizing bass buildup.
• Helps maintain tonal balance in both vocal and instrumental recordings.

Floating Vocal Booths

• PU foam is used in portable or modular vocal booths to line interior walls, creating a dry, isolated vocal recording space.
• Also used beneath booth floors or platforms to reduce vibration transmission.

Monitor Isolation Pads: PU foam pads are placed under studio monitors to decouple them from surfaces, preventing vibrations and improving playback accuracy during mixing.

Door and Seal Padding: Foam strips or panels are used around door frames and booth seals to reduce sound leakage and ensure proper isolation.
