How to Select Acoustic Treatment Panels for Professional Podcast Production

In our previous article on custom acoustic panels for small podcast studios, we explained why tailored solutions are vital. This article explores how to select the right perforated acoustic panels for professional podcast production.

1. Acoustic Challenges in Podcast Production

Podcasts demand crystal-clear audio, but small rooms often create flutter echo and background resonance. Research in the Applied Acoustics Journal shows that customized perforated absorbers significantly improve speech intelligibility in compact spaces.

2. Key Features to Consider

Panel Thickness: Thicker panels absorb lower frequencies.
Perforation Pattern: Smaller holes for subtle absorption; larger for broad-spectrum control.
Material Choice: Wood for warmth, composite for durability.
Custom Fit: Panels tailored to room size yield the best results.
