Read Guide🎚️ Comprehensive Acoustic Treatment
Acoustics are as important as your equipment. Good treatment transforms your studio.
Bass Traps
Place them in the corners of your room to control low frequencies that accumulate. Essential for accurate mixing.
Absorption Panels
On the side walls (first reflection points) and behind you. Reduce echoes and improve clarity.
Diffusers
On the rear wall to scatter reflections instead of absorbing them. Preserve the natural ambience of the room.
Soundproofing vs Acoustic Treatment
Soundproofing prevents sound from entering/leaving. Treatment improves sound INSIDE the room. They're two different things!

💡 Expert Tips
1. Start small, grow gradually
No need to buy everything at once. A good basic setup is enough to start and learn.
2. Acoustics before high-end gear
€2000 monitors in an untreated room will sound worse than €500 monitors in an optimized room.
3. Test before you buy
Take advantage of trial periods, demos, and stores. Don't rely solely on online reviews.
4. Invest in training
The best gear is useless if you don't know how to use it. Courses, tutorials, books: educate yourself!
