Can I effectively use this to build a 3-panel tabletop shield for making home recordings. The sound absorber items are too expensive.

I bought this to silence my wifes CPAP machine. I lined a box and covered the machine with it. It really didn't dampen the sound as much as I had hoped.

you sure can, but also have a roof on top of it. We used an old linencloset a a studio and coverted it with the tiles.the tiles are very expensive. You can also use foam undermatress with knobs at Wallmart. uggly, white but it works the same for amature recordings. Here we have a radio station for all the kids in the street.Jacques Krielen

Yes ---- This is NOT recommended as it would upset the built in arrangement. For best results use it as received. You will be surprised at the surround sound you will gwet. GOOD LUCK

That is not too different from my application, so it should help. It will stop resonance and provide some sound absorption.

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.

Given enough time and money you can do anything. :-) However I doubt this would be a good use for this product. It is a quite good small room amp for acoustic guitar and standard microphone.

The microphone in this device is very sensitive. In fact it's too sensitive that you hear all background noise very clearly so it's almost impossible to use outside. Inside I still find a slight hiss and still hear background sounds even in the quietest of rooms. So.. For multiple person interviews the best bet is to use multiple lapel pins connected to one of its interface. In a pinch u can try to use it indoors but be prepared to do some cleanup of noise after u record

Yes, it should work fine for that for one or two people. If you're trying to record a group, this mic won't be sensitive enough.

I would find a tape especially for electrical purposes, because of its aluminum qualities it has the potential to conduct even a small ammount of electricity. The 3m websites also states it's good for shielding but they refer to heat not electricity.one thing you could do is lay electrical tape on top of your electronics and then lay this tape on top .

I really don't know. I'm not a musician by any means but it really does an excellent job of recording conversations. As a comment, I certainly don't think it would do any harm in buying it. You can always use it.

Nope. It won't be enough for 20x20. And it's not really soundproofing. It works more for recording music than preventing noise into another room

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

This device is meant to combine 4 video surveilance cameras on a single cat 5 cable and split it back out in 4 channels for the recording/monitoring device. I have not tried it with audio, but it might workif the impedance isn't a problem.

These are for acoustics, to balance out frequencies when listening and recording. It's entirely different than soundproofing. Soundproofing is what you need, not this. Short answer: No.

Unless you're going to be using the audio in a broadcast or film or something, I think this is overkill. Also, what Alan Ganger said, but even so -- there's no equipment so amazing that you don't need some kind of mic or amp or something if you're far from the speaker. The bottom line is that if you're recording only for your own uses (like, to record lectures or conversations for your own review later), you can get the same functionality (but at a bit lower sound quality) for less money.

I suppose you could, but is there a reason you do not use regular acoustic insulation that you can get at your local DIY store? It is designed for home use, and should be thicker.

I am not sure if it would block everything. A Lead liner is the only thing that would do it for sure and I don't know how it would be done safely. Should you try the conductive shielding (ArgenMesh), I would double the layers&gt; This is just my thoughts, I could be wrong!

If you are recording vocals in an untreated recording environment this does a good job of knocking down the reflections. If you have a room that is already treated to minimize reflections and is tuned it's not necessary. If you get one don't place the mic way back in the shield as that will cause the mic to pick up the reflections from the dense foam treatment in the shield....and will add a "muffled" sound to what you are recording. I like this product for what it is but it will not make your bedroom sound like the vocal booth in a great recording studio.
