Q) I live by a very noisy street. Will Producer’s Choice Sound Blankets stop the sound of the vehicles passing by from coming into my recordings?

A) Producer’s Choice sound blankets are designed to absorb sound waves, especially of high and medium frequencies and reduce reverberation. These sound blankets are used, for example, in a room that has an echo as an acoustic room treatment.

If you use these blankets to hang over a window – it will dampen the incoming sound of the cars, but will not completely block it.

For better soundproofing, you need a blanket with more mass such as Sound Block Curtains (see VocalBoothToGo.com – soundproofing products). These soundproofing curtains combine Producer’s Choice sound blankets for sound absorption plus Mass Loaded Vinyl for sound blocking.

When using the Sound Block Curtains, you need to make sure to attach the curtains as tight as possible to block the whole area of the window. You should also face the absorption side of the blanket to the street and the sound block to the inside of the room.

Producer’s Choice Sound Blanket Features

Producer’s Choice Blankets Features

This popular brand of sound blankets, called Producer’s Choice, has quickly become the top choice when looking for a sound blanket for your audio recording studio.

  • Quality and Durability. Producer’s Choice Blankets VB series have vertical 2 inch parallel stitching. This allows the cotton fibers inside the blanket to expand more (gets thicker) than Zig-Zag stitched moving blankets.
  • Designed for Sound Absorption. Moving blankets are designed for moving but our sound and acoustic blankets are made specifically for sound absorption. The picture below shows the moving blanket size 72 x 80 (left) versus the Producer’€™s Choice Blanket VB70 size 72 x 80 (right). See the difference when folded!

Comparison of Moving Blankets to Producer’s Choice Sound Blankets

When preparing a space for audio recording or creating a vocal booth, people often wonder what the best type of blanket to use for sound absorption. A first guess is to use moving blankets — they are easy to find and fairly inexpensive, right? But, what is the difference between a moving blanket and a sound blanket or acoustic blanket. Aren’t they both manufactured the same way and all pretty much the same? The answer is no.

The Difference Between Moving Blankets and Sound Blankets

Moving blankets and sound blankets are not the same. For instance, the Producer’€™s Choice line of sound blankets and acoustic blankets, measures at 80% noise absorption and has an NRC Rating of 0.8. NRC ratings fall between 0 (perfectly reflective) and 1 (perfectly absorptive.)  So basically, the higher the NRC rating, the more sound a product can absorb.  Most moving blankets are not even tested since they are designed for moving not sound absorption.

Q: My blankets are not the same size as advertised

A: The blanket size specified in product description, is so called, “cut size”  of the material, meaning that when fabric is flattened it would measure as described. After the the material has been bound, the actual size of the blanket tends to be somewhat smaller.

Producer’s choice blankets, especially the VB series with 2 inch parallel quilting pattern, tend to expand in thickness more and therefore get more narrow, than Zig-Zag stitched blankets.  That is because when the blankets fluff up they become thicker (think 3D versus 2D), therefore to compensate they shrink by about 5-10%. For VB -series blankets this is mostly happens at the expense of the width of the blanket.

As an example, imagine measuring a pillow case: if you take a pillow case off, the pillow and measure it flat (2 dimensional footprint) it will be “larger”, than when you stuff the pillow in it and measure the footprint again.

When estimating the amount of blankets you need to cover your walls make sure to allow some extra blankets to overlap.
