Position the foam so that it’s in between both of your studio monitors or speakers. Acoustic foam will not soundproof a room. Acoustic foam should be centered on the wall and at ear level.
Do not use regular household cleaners because it can reduce the adhesion of the foam.
Small recording studios may only need a single foam panel behind the mixer. If you don’t have enough room on your wall, use fewer foam panels.
If you don’t use a level, your foam panels may be crooked.
If you have foam panels that came with adhesive on the back, you can skip this step. You can purchase adhesive spray online or at an arts and crafts store.
Using cardboard will make your acoustic foam reusable and will prevent damage to your wall.
You can put the foam in front of a window or fan to quicken the drying process.
No cardboard should be visible when looking at the bumpy side of the foam panels.
The Command strip should be stuck to the cardboard, not to the foam.
Alternate the direction of the pattern on the acoustic panels for maximum effectiveness and visual appeal.
