Assess the Room’s Acoustic Profile
The first step in room acoustic treatment is to evaluate the space. Use tools like an RT60 measurement device to determine reverberation times and identify problem areas. Small, untreated rooms often suffer from flutter echoes and standing waves, which can distort audio recordings⁴.

Install Acoustic Panels
Acoustic panels are a staple for controlling sound reflections in home studios. Fabric wrapped acoustic panels and perforated wood panels are popular options in Singapore, combining sound absorption with aesthetic appeal. Place panels at key reflection points, such as walls opposite speakers and above the mixing desk⁵.

Use Bass Traps for Low Frequencies
Bass traps are essential for managing low-frequency sounds that accumulate in corners. These traps, often made from dense materials like fiberglass or Earthwool, reduce muddiness and enhance the clarity of bass frequencies.

Incorporate Ceiling Treatments
For spaces with high ceilings or hard surfaces, baffle ceilings or acoustic ceiling insulation can minimize vertical sound reflections. Ceiling fabric and stretch wall fabric systems are also effective solutions for creating a seamless, professional look.

Address Noise Isolation
In addition to treating internal acoustics, home studios in Singapore often require soundproofing to block external noise. Noise control materials like low VOC acoustic panels and heavy-duty door seals prevent sound leakage and improve recording quality.
