Monitors and Headphones

Monitors and headphones serve a similar purpose: to help audiences listen to music. Monitors are devices that act as loudspeakers, whereas headphones (or earphones, earspeakers, or cans) are devices for a single listener. Firstly, monitors’ design is specifically for audio production applications where a precise audio reproduction in essential. In addition, every music team uses…

Sound Cards

Sound cards, aka an audio cards, an audio output devices, or sound boards, are devices that produces sounds on a computer via an expansion slot or a slot built into the motherboard. Audiences can hear the resulting sounds through headphones or speakers. These devices involve audio ports or audio jacks, as well as cables with…

Amplitude Panning

Amplitude panning is a system that transforms both the phase and amplitude differences of a signal recorded by stereophonic reception systems into amplitude differences reproduced by two speakers. These stereophonic reception systems are usually microphone stereo pairs or human ears. This is the basis of several multi-loudspeaker configurations. To start, this system derives from stereophony;…

Soundproofing

Soundproofing, also known as sound blocking, refers to insulated materials that prevent the passage of sound. The materials employed to soundproof tend to be heavy, solid, dense, and thick. This is a very useful solution when dealing with unwanted noise. Cinemas, TV, and radio stations, as well theaters, frequently have sound blocking systems within their…

Bass Traps

Bass traps are devices that improve the response of the low frequency in a room. Sound engineers and music producers often employ them to lessen this low-frequency resonance. They also use them in large studios and small spaces to flatten the low-frequency response. In addition, they take advantage of them to decrease modal ringing. Bass…

Acoustic Boards

Acoustic boards are objects made of sound-absorbing materials inserted between two porous outer walls. They are an example of soundproofing. Their operation is simple: when the sound passes through the acoustic board its intensity decreases. In this case, the production of heat energy balances the loss of sound energy. Acoustic Boards: Uses Libraries, rooms, halls,…

Reflection Filters

Reflection filters, also known as pop shield or pop screen filters, are devices that offer effective absorption of sounds. Reflection filters catch and absorb sounds that they receive directly from the vocalist. These filters help reduce the amount of energy that enters a room, as well as that which bounces around the room and gets…

Ceiling Clouds

Ceiling clouds, also known as tiles, are a type of soundproofing device used by producers and sound engineers inside music production studios. They delimit spaces, as well as reduce reflected sounds in open environments. All in all, they are widely efficient, but their efficiency depends on their routing type. More on Ceiling Panels (aka Tiles)…

Helmholtz Resonator

The Helmholtz resonator is a device that involves a rigid spherical container with a small neck. In order to produce sound, it has a specific built. Physically, this device has a small hole in one end and a larger hole in the other. Its name comes from Hermann von Helmholtz. Hermann von Helmholtz, the man…

Acoustic Fiberglass

Acoustic fiberglass is made of tiny particles of compressed glass. Its most common use is as an audio insulation material. Some manufacturers even use recycled glass to produce it! Fiberglass is essential when it comes to soundproofing. Fiberglass Alone To create fiberglass, experts heat a portion of and then spin on high speeds. The most…
