Heavy Moving Blankets as an Alternative to Professional Acoustic Blankets
Soundproofing and
acoustic sound treatment in a home recording studio can be very
daunting. Most people want no part of either. And while the professional
solutions can be very expensive, there are always alternatives that
will not break the bank. Aside from Db3 acoustical barrier, couch
cushions, and some diy broadband absorbers that I made from compressed
fiberglass insulation, I also use moving blankets. Now, I’ve done a lot
of research on these things.
I kept seeing them pop up in recording discussions. But the general consensus is that they don’t do much for sound treatment other than stop some flutter echo. However, there are companies that produce professional acoustic blankets supposedly ideal for deadening sound…and guess what? They sure do look quite similar to moving blankets, but with a much steeper price tag. So I had to dig deeper. Just like any kind of soundproofing material, the more dense product will block more sound. Standard moving blankets are not very heavy at all, and are often extremely thin. The professional acoustic blankets made by Audimute and Producer’s Choice are heavy and quilted. This makes them more effective than standard moving blankets.
