Do you have a dedicated room in your home for watching films? Maybe you’ve invested in an HD projector, ultra-clear sound system, and a library of your favorite movies. Before you sit down to enjoy a movie marathon, make sure you’ve installed acoustic foam on the walls of your home theater.

Expensive soundbars and high-quality sound systems produce rich, resonant sound and high amounts of bass. If your home theater’s room modes are too skewed towards certain frequencies, your house may shake when bass sounds are played and your sound may need to be balanced. For a more balanced distribution of frequencies, you’ll need to use acoustic foam to absorb sound waves and enhance sound quality.

Acoustic foam is ideal for home theaters because it absorbs sound instead of blocking it completely. Sound waves reflect off flat surfaces, causing echoes and reverberations Acoustic foam eliminates excess echoes and reverberations by providing a porous surface that dissipates energy from sound waves as heat instead of reflecting them. If you know where to place your acoustic foam panels to balance room modes, you can use these properties to create the best possible sound quality.
