ProSoCoustic WaveRoom Pro Basic Kit Review:
What To Expect from This Acoustic Panels
Quality
The overall quality of these ProSoCoustic panels is excellent. There are a lot of smaller manufacturers out there selling mediocre panels that don’t look too great or work very well. So, panels like these are highly sought-after, as they look excellent and work brilliantly.
The fact that they act as diffusers as well is the best part, as a lot of people need to get insulation panels and diffuser panels to hang on their walls to get the best sound absorption. You can save a bit of space and money with these.
We found that these panels work the best in smaller rooms, but they’re still very effective in larger spaces.
Construction
Most of the materials used to make these panels are recycled. That’s an excellent construction feature to take note of, and it’s a big selling point for the ProSoCoustic brand.
While a lot of other insulation panels are made from fiberglass and foam, these panels are made from stone wool for absorption. The panels are then covered in fire-resistant fabric, which looks and feels fantastic.
The dimensions of each panel are fairly standard for sound panels. This means that if you already have sound panels in your room, adding these to your walls won’t change things up much, as they’ll have similar sizes.
Performance
These panels perform amazingly, especially when recording drums through microphones. If you place them spaced out across your walls, they’ll take out most of the natural reverb from your room.
It’s important to remember that they’re not used for soundproofing your room. They won’t stop the sound of your drums from getting through to the outside world. They will clean up the sound, though, and that will lower the volume of your drums slightly.
Our only suggestion is to get bass traps to hang in the corners of your room as well. These will be more effective in controlling your bass drum sound, whereas the insulation panels work well with mid and upper frequencies.
Price Value Ratio
The price-to-value ratio is fairly decent, considering that you’d be paying more if you purchased these panels individually. This pack acts as the perfect once-off purchase to improve the acoustics dramatically inside your drum or music room.
However, it may not be the best bang for your buck option on the market for drummers. This is because it doesn’t come with bass traps. It would be great if it came with at least one or two bass traps to hang in the corners of your room. Those would make the acoustics even better.
You can easily purchase those separately, though, so the overall value of this kit is still excellent.
