Akustik Wissen

Learn how early reflections impact clarity, imaging, and fatigue—and how treating reflection zones improves sound accuracy and listening experience.

Inside University of Salford, GIK Acoustics tests real-world performance for accurate, transparent acoustic data.

Learn how to treat small rooms with bass traps, panels, and diffusion to fix low-end issues, reduce reflections, and achieve clearer, balanced sound.

Egal, wie gut deine Lautsprecher sind, der Raum, in dem du dich befindest, verursacht irreführende Verfälschungen, einen ungleichmäßigen Frequenzgang, harte Kammfilter und andere Artefakte, die uns vom eigentlichen Klang ablenken. Eine gute akustische Behandlung zusammen mit gut platzierten Lautsprechern, die du liebst, kann diese Verfälschungen überwinden und dir ermöglichen, deiner Musik näher zu kommen.

Diffusion is one of the most misunderstood tools in acoustic treatment. This short video breaks down how diffusers work and which type is the right choice for your studio, hi-fi listening room, or home cinema.

"I don't want my room to be too dead" — it's the first thing most clients say. GIK designer John Dykstra explains why balance is the real goal, and why home theaters and surround rooms need to be treated very differently from stereo listening spaces.

Carpet will absorb high frequencies, but that’s not always the kind of absorption we need to balance our rooms.

Avoid common diffusion mistakes—learn how to properly use diffusors to improve clarity, balance, and spaciousness in your room acoustics.

What does a room actually sound like without treatment? GIK pulls every panel out of their demo room and runs frequency response, playback, and recording tests to show you exactly what proper acoustic treatment does.
