(I-Newswire) August 13, 2010 - A recent study has shown that Memory Foam is a surprisingly effective sound-proofing material for venues such as recording studios, shooting ranges and other facilities that require sound-reduction technologies. The ground breaking discovery has one major positive benefit, Memory Foam produces incredible reduction in noise at costs less expensive than all manner of professional audio acoustic materials.

For example, standard off the shelf materials and custom made bespoke acoustic panels, OEM acoustic foam cut parts, anti-vibration isolators, acoustic doors, acoustic seals, acoustic diffusers, acoustic ceiling clouds, acoustic stage shells, soundproof flooring systems, soundproof wall systems, soundproof ceiling systems, environmental noise barriers, industrial machine enclosures and custom products such as bass traps, foams and fabrics for recording studios, all come at costly prices, especially for larger facilities. But it has been found that Memory Foam may produce arguably better results for similar or lower prices. It has been postulated by one experienced sound technician that this is due to the foam's density. Average sound-reducing membrane materials usually begin at about 7mm of material. But staggeringly, 50mm of Memory Foam can be purchased at the same (and in some cases a lower) price. This massive increase in volume of material is believed to be a chief contributor to more effectively consistent sound-proofing quality.

Memory Foam was first developed in 1966 by NASA, to cushion and furnish the inside of spacecraft. This was to help astronauts endure the high G-Forces experienced during take off and re-entry. But in the 1990's, Memory was made popular in mattresses under the Tempur-foam label. Commonly used today in this form, Memory Foam has become renowned for being comfortable, affordable, luxurious and beneficial for all who use it. But until this recent study, Memory Foam had seldom if never found it's way into the world audio/studio technology. Conducted in the UK using a large amplifier and heavy-bass sounds, Memory Foam was found to reduce perceptible noise and wave vibration by perhaps up to 75% - leaving only a quarter of the original audio output perceptible. Lyrics were noticeably slurred and masked, and a number of different musical genres (each of course with their own equalization levels and musical pitches) were tested, thereby determining upon observation that the results were general and consistent, rather than only effective for one particular instrumental group, as such as with some sound proofing that are effective for percussion instruments, but not for stringed instruments.

Another benefit is that at the end of a late night recording session, it is very convenient to be able to crash on a very comfortable mattress. It seems then that with 6ft X 6ft6 mattresses from GBP200, could be all over the walls of recording studios near you, very soon
