Where to buy sound absorption blankets and acoustic room treatments?
1. Years ago I purchased my 2-1/2″ Acoustic Eggcrate Foam (very inexpensive and good quality, too) from The Foam Factory.
2. PES alumni and awesome dude Ed Sullivan (of Sonic Cupcake) bought blankets and stands from Vocal Booth To Go.
3. Another legendary PES alumni (Liz Covart of Ben Franklin’s World) bought her custom-designed acoustic treatment from Audimute.
How about you – have you bought any acoustic treatment? Let us know in the comments below 😉

Acoustic treatment available from both http://www.Sweetwater.com and http://www.Markertek.com
I have Producers Choice, Audimute, Harbor Freight moving blankets, Foam from ATS, DIY panels, and GIK panels.
DIY panels with Roxul Safensound are incredible. Sound as good as the GIK but you have to make them. If you can, then they are way cheaper than foam and much better at doing the job.
If you don’t want to DIY then GIK is the best. People balk at the price but when you compare square footage in coverage they are typically pretty close to the price of foam and much better. Like night and day difference since they have a much better coefficient across all frequencies.
Also, the Producers Choice blankets have a more even distribution across all frequencies than the Audimute. Audimute lacks a little low end and I didn’t care for the sound of them compared to anything else. I no longer use them. They made everything sound dark since the absorption below 250hz was meh. I’d opt for regular moving blankets from Harbor freight before I’d buy Audimute again.
ATS makes nice insulation panels as well. But really, the GIK are the best that I’ve used.
