EQ Acoustics Classic Wedge 30 Tile grey

I used these to reduce the reverb of high frequencies in my room. If you have been reading around on the internet, you should know that these things are only good for high frequencies.

In that regard they work great. Placed on the walls at ear level and above. The room is a lot more pleasant to work in.

Do NOT get these if:
- You want your recordings to sound much better but don't want to get/make bass traps (you simply need more mass for the energy of low frequency waves)
- You want less sound to escape from your room (these don't isolate)

Get these if:
- Your room has more high frquency reverb than st paul's cathedral

A side note: playing and singing in the room definitely sounds and feels a lot better with just these installed.

Tip: You can place them on the wall using double sided tape, cardboard and strong glue. Use the cardboard from the box. Cut 4 small squares for the 4 corners of each panel. Glue those onto the foam. Then put double sided tape on the cardboard corners and just stick em to your walls.

I've bougth these to dampen the reflection in my home studio and the result is fantastic. The room is significantly dryer than it was. To me price is great for the results you get. I don't see how I will get any more dampening from a more expensive product.

The quality of the wedges are great. Its made up out of audio foam and is cut to precision. Some people have complained about the faint chemical smell of the product when you first unpack it. To me I've not found that to be true. I suppose it might depend on the amount of air flow in your room. And in that case just make sure you unpack it and let it stand for a week. But I've not had any issue with that.

These foam tiles does all that I need it to do. And if the room is still too reflective I just add more tiles to it. But I have found that with these tiles I can deaden the room completely if I choose to. And so you can control the amount of reflection by just controlling how much of the tiles you add to your space.

Also its advisable to get proper tile glue to fix these to your walls. Because double sided tape does not stick well to the foam.

These EQ Acoustics Classic Wedge Tiles are excellent value for money, They are my first time buying acoustic treatment for my current studio, and naturally I have spent hours comparing, testing, watching videos reading reviews basically researching critically before spend a sum of money on whats going to be treating my recording studio for my own purposes and because my recording studio is quite small but reasonably empty of massive furnisher it had a lot of bass building up in the corners early reflections and some un-wanted reverberation. I soon found out it wasn't a defuser I needed.. It was absorption panels! Did alot of pricing about and for my budget these out sought everything else. bewteen these EQ Acoustics Classic Wedge Tiles 30 and their bigger brother the EQ Acoustics Classic Wedge Tiles 60's I spent 200 euro and it was money well spent! the sound in my studio is exactly how I've wanted it, and I had some of these panels left over which I made a isolation cabinet with.

Thanks Thomann, for your usual reliable and trustworthy services!

These panels are made of good quality material, and have a relatively low price. They cut well the medium and high frequencies (analysis done with Room EQ), but do not exaggerate with them otherwise your room would sound ‘dead’. My experience is that (wisely) covering ~40% of your walls it would be enough. I also used them to make my own corner-bass-traps, where two walls meet with the ceiling. I just used a cartoon support on top of which I glued 4 of these panels. The result was beautiful: it effectively reduced the corner bass reflections; it is very flexible because you can decide size and shape of the acoustic element, therefore you can also place it where it is more convenient accordingly to your acoustic needs; and this solution is much cheaper than any other ready-to-use corner-bass-trap.

I know the price is attractive, but I really can´t say these would be worth a penny. Maybe if You just want to fool Your granpa thinking You have a nice little studio, this product might do the trick, but in my eyes these even look too cheap to put on my walls. The pictures on this website gave me the impression they looked awesome, but when I first opened the package I got an massive facepalm immediately, the material just looks/is the very cheapest money can buy :

|If You want to improve your monitoring, this product will not do it, it will just mess it up even more.
The density of these has to be something like only 0-3 kg/m3 (not kidding) wich is totally rubbish, they won´t absorb anything except for the absolutely highest frequencies and absorbing only those will let all the rest bouncing all over the room making Your monitoring just more imbalanced.

so in short:

if Your only after the look: think twice, might not look as pro in live as You think.
if Your after better monitoring: stay away.

Suggestion:
instead of buying a lot of these, buy less of something better. A set of 16-20 this size of panels are enough to do wonders for Your monitoring when placing just in the critical spots, so it´s better to buy a set of better panels and later buy more if You want. Better one´s should look better too when made of decent material :)
That´s what I´m gonna do..

I bought these to eliminate excessive mid to high frequency reverberation times and reflections in my room. They did the job well by considerably dampening the reflections, both measurably and subjectively. At this price there's nothing to equal the EQ Acoustics Wedges.

Placement is the key and I used a measurement mic in conjunction with Room EQ Wizard software (and a lot of trial and error) to test which reflections were the most problematic. After some fiddling around I installed the panels using two-sided adhesive strips (EQ Acoustics Flexi Fit 32 set). They held on for years with this setup but were a pain to remove: a fault of the installation method and not the panels themselves. I recommend thinking twice about how you are going to install these and whether you're ever going to want to take them down cleanly. Proper glue directly on the wall for a permanent installation would be a solid choice. For a makeshift/temporary installation some sort of glued frame hanging from the wall would make for a simple and clean installation method which you can remove quickly and cleanly. You'll save yourself a lot of time and effort in the long run this way.
