What our clients are saying:
"Thank you for going the extra mile by giving me your advice on my room. The panels work really well and I can now hear mix details I couldn't before. Magical."
"We've been aware that since we opened our new cafe, it can be a little noisy when we're busy and
the acoustics haven't been great. NZ Acoustics Ltd ( we can really recommend these guys) have come up with a result that not only looks good, it actually works.
For the boffins out there, we have reduced our sound resonance from 1.3 seconds (not brilliant)
to 0.6 seconds. The latter is considered a good benchmark figure for restaurants and cafes."
"Excellent product, very powerful for taming unwanted bass and letting more of the music through."
"Great Gobo! Love it. Great absorption. Great results. A+"
"The imaging of my monitors has been enhanced - it places instruments so well that it feels like you could reach up and touch the sounds."
"Amazing, perfect product! Cannot believe it for the price! A++++++++++"
"Acoustic panels and bass traps have made a huge difference to my drum room. Sound used to bounce around the room creating a muddy mess of noise. But now the bass drum sounds tighter and has real punch, the cymbals have controlled, faster decay and snare and toms really pop. I can also hear backing tracks while I'm drumming much clearer now. So much better A+++"
