WIRED reviewer Parker Hall tested the GIK Acoustics SoundBlocks in his home studio and office, finding that guests mistook them for high-end sculptures before identifying them as acoustic panels. The review highlights both the visual design and the genuine acoustic performance of the system, particularly for bass control and instrument isolation.

Mix Magazine has just published a feature on the all-new Ayan Mastering facility in Portland, Maine, spotlighting Adam Ayan’s transition from Gateway Mastering into a purpose-built, next-generation room designed for uncompromising performance.

We’re proud to see GIK Acoustics prominently featured in the story.

Sound On Sound has reviewed GIK Acoustics’ PIB Pack, now known as the PIB Vocal Booth Pro, highlighting its effectiveness as a practical, professional solution for recording vocals in untreated or compromised rooms. Rather than attempting soundproofing, the PIB Vocal Booth Pro focuses on controlling early reflections and decay around the microphone, resulting in cleaner, more consistent vocal recordings. Built using thick, broadband absorption and a modular design, it avoids the common pitfalls of thin, foam-based solutions. The review reinforces the PIB Vocal Booth Pro’s role as a serious acoustic tool designed for real-world studios and modern recording workflows.

We were thrilled to see Scottish producer and studio owner Paul Third feature the new GIK Acoustics PIB Modular Booth Mark II on his YouTube channel. Paul, who runs a fully equipped multi-room studio, shared an in-depth look at how the PIB Vocal Booth Pro has improved both his workflow and the quality of his vocal recordings.

Big thanks to Magnetic Magazine for featuring David Shevyn in their new interview on how acoustics shape every mix you make.

David breaks down why room reflections, bass buildup, and poor speaker placement are the real culprits behind muddy mixes—and how GIK helps solve them with smarter treatment strategies.
