[QUOTE="dc2bluelight, post: 1803742, member: 399729"] Well, as an audio professional, I disagree with at least some of that article. Everyone has their favorites. The OP seems to not want much bass, and most of those will be bass-abundant. The 416, not so much, but also not a great choice either unless the VO artist has a certain voice quality, then it works well. What I recommended is actually more universal, and better for the beginner. Egg crates have no valid acoustic properties other than a bit of diffusion, and not good at that either. More trouble than anything. There are many inexpensive real acoustic treatments available, but before I would recommend anything I need to know much more about what the OP is doing, his target use for the recording, and what the actual environment is. He may need a lot of treatment of one kind, not so much of another, and it's important to realize that no treatment works across the entire spectrum evenly. The rough rule is the thicker it is, the more effective at low frequencies, but it's actually more complex than that. The typical 1" foam on the wall will often result in a dry top end, but a very boomy bottom. So, OP, more info??? [/QUOTE]
