Advanced Acoustics Wedge PRO Studio Starter Kit - Small

Recording studios, control rooms, and rehearsal spaces — Class B performance. The Small Wedge PRO Starter Kit provides a complete acoustic treatment package with Class B broadband tile performance alongside matching corner bass traps. The 75mm tile depth delivers comprehensive absorption across a broad frequency range. The kit is designed as a starting point that can be expanded with additional tiles or bass traps as the acoustic treatment develops. Use the Coverage Calculator to determine whether the Small or Large kit is appropriate for your room dimensions.

Complete treatment package — Class B tiles and bass traps in one kit. The kit pairs the Wedge PRO 12" tile with the matching Wedge Bass Trap, providing a coordinated treatment package that addresses both the broadband frequency range handled by the wall tiles and the low-frequency build-up handled by the corner bass traps. The matching profile across tiles and bass traps produces a consistent visual finish across the full installation.

Installing our acoustic foam tiles and bass traps included in this kit is very simple.  The first step to take is to work out your preferred layout of acoustic tiles and bass traps.  Do a sketch on paper first to make sure that the layout looks right and you have enough acoustic foam and space for your planned design.  It is best to have small to medium sized clusters of acoustic foam tiles evenly distributed as opposed to one huge cluster of tiles in the middle of a wall.

Once the acoustic tiles and bass traps are mounted to the wall or ceiling they are hard to remove so it is important to get the layout right before you begin.  Once you have a sketch of the layout you plan you can then mark up the wall with the layout.  You can either use pencil, masking tape or lasers to layout the design on the wall or ceiling.

When mounting the acoustic foam to the wall or ceiling apply Advanced Acoustics Contact Adhesive to both the back of the tile or bass traps and the mounting surface.  There is no need to heavily cover the acoustic foam or wall with adhesive, a band of adhesive around the perimeter of the tile or bass trap along with 50% - 75% coverage of the rest of the acoustic tile or bass trap will be fine.  Use the same equivalent amount on the wall.  Avoid overspray on the product and the wall so that adhesive can’t be seen when the tiles are in place.  Masking Tape on the wall will help with this.  If you do get webbing overspray on the tile, don’t touch it, allow it to dry, in most cases you will be able to peel the adhesive off.

We would recommend that you install your Bass Traps first.  You can re-confirm that everything is going to fit and look right before continuing with installing the acoustic tiles.

The adhesive we supply is solvent based so we recommend that you keep all doors of the room and any windows open whilst completing the installation.

If you prefer to have a more temporary installation of acoustic tiles you can mount the tiles onto 6mm MDF or ply to create panels of acoustic tiles.  These panels can then be hung on the wall using a D-Ring and picture hook for a damage free installation.  If fitting them to a ceiling then 4 mirror plates would be required.

Is the Wedge PRO overkill for a home studio?

It depends on the room. If the main problem is flutter echo and brightness, the standard Wedge kit (NRC 0.60) deals with it. The Wedge PRO — 75mm, NRC 0.95 (Class B), 0.57 at 250Hz and 0.91 at 500Hz — earns its place where low-mid reverberation matters, such as control rooms, vocal rooms and mixing spaces. Against the Slider kit, the PRO's advantage is mainly at 250Hz, since the two are close from 500Hz upwards.

Will the kit stop sound getting in or out of my room?

No. Acoustic foam improves the sound inside the room by reducing echo, reverberation and bass build-up. It does not block sound passing through walls, floors or ceilings. To keep noise in or out you need mass and decoupling, such as Mass Loaded Vinyl and acoustic plasterboard. If that is your goal, deal with it first, then use the starter kit to improve how the room sounds.

Do I need to put tiles on the ceiling?

It depends on the application but usually, yes. Treat the reflection points nearest the listening or recording position first — the side walls and the ceiling above it are the usual priorities. If tiles are limited, concentrate on the walls first and add the ceiling as you extend the treatment.

What if my room still doesn't sound right after fitting the kit?

All products carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the improvement is less than you expected, the cause is usually placement or coverage rather than the product. Contact us with your room dimensions and a photo and we'll advise on layout before you decide whether to return anything. Call 01623 643609 or email info@advancedacoustics-uk.com.
