Case Study: Home Office / Content Creator Room Acoustic Treatment
Project Overview
A home-based content creator required a dedicated room with:
- clean audio
- controlled reverb
- better microphone pickup
- minimised outside noise
They needed an affordable, visually aesthetic solution that could serve as:
- a recording space
- workstation
- live-streaming room
- video call studio
Client’s Challenges
1. Echo & Room Reverb Affecting Recordings
Recordings sounded:
- hollow
- echoey
- unprofessional
2. Outside Noise Interference
Common issues included:
- neighbour sounds
- traffic
- household noise
3. Aesthetic Requirements
The client wanted something:
- modern
- colour-coordinated
- suitable as a backdrop for video shoots
Our Acoustic Assessment
We analysed:
- RT60 before: 1.2–1.5 seconds (too high for recording)
- low-frequency buildup from small room dimensions
- mid-high reflections impacting vocal clarity
Our Design & Solution
1. Fabric Acoustic Panels for Vocal Clarity
Installed behind the microphone and camera position to absorb:
- mid frequencies (voice range)
- slapback echo
- flutter echo
2. Bass Traps (Optional Upgrade)
Placed in corners to help stabilise low-frequency buildup.
3. Polyester Panels as Background Feature Wall
Chosen for:
- clean colours
- soft aesthetics
- light weight
- video-friendly textures
4. Door Seal Kit for Noise Control
Added foam perimeter seals to reduce airborne leakage
