Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Nashik
Two jobs that must not be confused: keeping the building out, and making the room honest inside. The first is mass and decoupling and has to be built first. The second is absorption and diffusion and can be tuned later. The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints.
- Isolation
- A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought.
- Low frequency
- Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam.
- Early reflections
- Controlled at the mix position, and only there.

01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Nashik room
Two jobs that must not be confused: keeping the building out, and making the room honest inside. The first is mass and decoupling and has to be built first. The second is absorption and diffusion and can be tuned later.
The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints.
Work reaching us from Nashik is mostly wineries and tasting rooms, pharmaceutical and engineering plants, assembly halls, hotels, schools.
- Tasting rooms and cellars Hard stone and concrete volumes where guests are expected to talk. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
- Pharmaceutical and clean areas Plant noise next to controlled spaces, where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- Large assembly at intervals Spaces built for very large gatherings that stand mostly empty between them, so the design has to work at full capacity.
- Isolation A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for studio soundproofing are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Nashik.
02 / The build-up
The build-up, layer by layer
-
Layer 1
Soundproofing materials
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. In Nashik, split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.
Independent leaf. A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
-
Layer 2
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Nashik, auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
Ceiling first. In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
-
Layer 3
Soundproof curtains
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. In Nashik, schools range from compact municipal buildings to large private campuses, all hard surfaced, with assembly halls doing duty as performance spaces.
Double layer at a doorway. Two curtains with an air gap where a single layer will not reach the target.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Nashik briefs
- Tasting rooms and cellars
Hard stone and concrete volumes where guests are expected to talk. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
- Pharmaceutical and clean areas
Plant noise next to controlled spaces, where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- Large assembly at intervals
Spaces built for very large gatherings that stand mostly empty between them, so the design has to work at full capacity.
- Three days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead.
- The housing stock
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- The studio and content scene
The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints.

Room by room, on a typical Nashik job
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Hard stone and concrete volumes where guests are expected to talk. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
- Soundproofing materials, 2100 kg per cubic metre. 2.5 mm STC 30 at 5.25 kg per sq m, 4 mm STC 34 at 8.4, 6 mm at 12.6
- Acoustic panels, 1800 x 900 mm, image printed into the felt rather than onto a facing
- Soundproof curtains, 5.5 kg per sq m
-
Low frequency
Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam. Plant noise next to controlled spaces, where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.

- Acoustic panels, Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
- Soundproof curtains, Up to 30 dB
-
Early reflections
Controlled at the mix position, and only there. Spaces built for very large gatherings that stand mostly empty between them, so the design has to work at full capacity.
- Soundproofing materials, Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
- Soundproof curtains, 30
For a Nashik interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Nashik, before acoustics is discussed
Nashik is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
On a Nashik job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Worth knowing
Six mistakes that turn into a second fit-out
-
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem
Small on the drawing, expensive on site, and almost always found after handover.
-
Treating the room before the shell is isolated
This is the one that comes back as a second fit-out rather than a snag.
-
Killing the room completely and calling it controlled
A room can be over-treated. Past the target it stops sounding controlled and starts sounding dead, and you paid for that.
-
Treating it as a generic Nashik job
Hard stone and concrete volumes where guests are expected to talk. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Nashik actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three days |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly thirteen hundred kilometres, normally three days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Nashik projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Nashik?
The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints. Hard stone and concrete volumes where guests are expected to talk. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
Where should the budget go first on a Nashik project?
Isolation. A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Low frequency. Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam.
Do you have an office or installation team in Nashik?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Nashik. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.
How does material get to a Nashik site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What goes wrong most often on this kind of project?
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem. Treating the room before the shell is isolated.
What do you need from us to quote?
A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
Next step
Send the drawings, get a straight answer
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
