Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Pune
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.

What you are buying, and what it fixes in Pune
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 Pune is mostly automotive and engineering plants, townships and apartment towers, IT offices, colleges, clinics.
- Machinery, not conversation Presses, compressors and test rigs are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that addresses them.
- New townships, repeated details The same separating wall across hundreds of flats. Getting it right on the drawing is far cheaper than fixing it after possession.
- Education and test rooms Colleges and engineering centres with rooms that need a genuinely low background before measurement means anything.
- 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 Pune.
02 / The build-up
What goes where, from the structure in
-
Layer 1
Acoustic foam and BassBloc
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing. In Pune, 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.
First reflection points. Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
-
Layer 2
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 Pune, 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.
Independent leaf. A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
-
Layer 3
Soundproof curtains
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. In Pune, schools range from compact municipal buildings to large private campuses, all hard surfaced, with assembly halls doing duty as performance spaces.
Full height with return. Curtain taken floor to soffit with a side return and an overlap, because the gap is what leaks, not the fabric.
Architects working in Pune usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
The Pune conditions that change the answer
- Machinery, not conversation
Presses, compressors and test rigs are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that addresses them.
- New townships, repeated details
The same separating wall across hundreds of flats. Getting it right on the drawing is far cheaper than fixing it after possession.
- Education and test rooms
Colleges and engineering centres with rooms that need a genuinely low background before measurement means anything.
- Monsoon damp
PET felt does not absorb moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- 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.
04 / Room by room
Where the money goes on a Pune project
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Presses, compressors and test rigs are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that addresses them.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 1800 x 900 mm
- 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. The same separating wall across hundreds of flats. Getting it right on the drawing is far cheaper than fixing it after possession.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 20 mm
- 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. Colleges and engineering centres with rooms that need a genuinely low background before measurement means anything.
- Acoustic foam and BassBloc, 100 kg per cubic metre
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
- Soundproof curtains, 30
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Conditions
What the Pune climate rules in and rules out
Pune 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.
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Straight talk
What we watch go wrong on jobs like this
-
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
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
Killing the room completely and calling it controlled
More absorption is not better absorption. Past the target the room goes flat and people raise their voices to compensate.
-
Treating it as a generic Pune job
Presses, compressors and test rigs are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that addresses them.
05 / Logistics
Supply into Pune, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four 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 fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Pune projects
What makes recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Pune?
The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints. Presses, compressors and test rigs are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that addresses them.
Where should the budget go first on a Pune 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 Pune?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Pune. 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 Pune site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four 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.
