Introducing the Auralex Designer Series Treatments - DST! Auralex continues to lead the industry in acoustical performance with innovative products the market demands. Many of you wanted products delivering Auralex Studiofoam performance, longevity and value, with a different look than we've had available in the past. "Your products are great! How can we make it look incredibly cool without doing some funky cutting?" The DST-114s are also 1' x 1's that serve as the ideal design complement to the 112s and other DST Studiofoam products. They can easily be cut in 3" shingles, allowing for a bunch of creative options when used singularly or with 112s.
The two most commonly-used sound absorption materials are high-quality acoustic foam and specialized acoustic fiberglass (no, not the stuff you buy at the hardware store). For brevity, at times we'll generically call acoustic foam just plain "foam," although there are very dramatic differences in cell structure and density between acoustic foam and the thousands of other types we could manufacture. (This is why you can't just run down to the local SuperMart and buy mattress pads with which to acoustically treat your studio.)
In addition to the two most popular types of acoustic absorption materials, Auralex offers a Class A, fire resistant, natural fiber panel called SonoFiber. SonoFiber acoustic panels are the perfect solution for those budget-conscious projects requiring a Class A fire rating without the aesthetic demands of designer treatments such as fabric-covered panels.
Acoustic sound absorption foam is well-suited to alleviate slap and flutter echo, the two most common problems in rooms not specifically designed for music recording and performance. In fact, foam can turn even the most cavernous warehouse or gymnasium into a suitable acoustic environment.
