We’re excited to see our acting CEO David Shevyn featured in Magnetic Magazine, where he delves into one of the most overlooked—but absolutely essential—aspects of music production: room acoustics. In the interview, David highlights how untreated rooms can mask critical detail, distort bass, and undermine the accuracy of any mix.
He emphasizes that improving your mix isn’t just about gear—it's about optimizing the room itself. That starts with careful speaker placement to reduce SBIR (Speaker Boundary Interference Response), then layering in acoustic treatment tailored to your space. Magnetic Magazine He also discusses how DIY methods often fail due to misinformation online, and contrasts that with GIK’s long-standing commitment to free consulting and design support.
“It was a real pleasure speaking with Will Vance and the team at Magnetic Magazine. They asked thoughtful, insightful questions that got right to the heart of what we do—helping creators fix the acoustic problems that hold back their mix. It’s always rewarding to have conversations that bring more awareness to how much a room truly shapes the sound.”
— David Shevyn, Acting CEO, GIK Acoustics
The article also touches on GIK’s mission to serve every kind of creator—whether in a home studio or a large facility—and addresses how to balance acoustics with livability in multipurpose rooms.
A big thank-you to Magnetic Magazine for giving room acoustics the spotlight—they’ve done an excellent job of helping more creators understand that the room makes or breaks the mix.
