"The feet on the bottom is pretty handy for those who might need set this on a desk for recording or whatever."
"As many others have stated it is rather heavy and it would have been nice to have a thread adapter for smaller microphones, but for actual sound isolation I have no complaints whatsoever."
"The mic cord goes up through the pipe into the wall. There are clamps on the back which easily fit onto a one inch pipe and the middle leg also comes off which would allow it to be threaded onto a mic stand rather than clamped."
"Great product, I use it on a desk in a room with some basic soundproofing, I'm getting fantastic recording quality, with audio that only needs to be tweaked, as opposed to heavily filtered and edited with noise reduction."
"This isolation shield comes with an attachment in the rear to connect your mic suspension boom to - or if you prefer, you can attach your mic to the mic stand that is included."
"very heavy for the mic stand I have, will have to buy a stronger mic stand and comes with absolutely no instructions on how to set it up!"
"I was looking at more expensive options but decided to go with this Monoprice reflector and I'm glad I did. The one I bought from Amazon is the post Audio heavy duty stand for $50. I completely recommend this if you're just starting out your home studio and need something that's affordable but works GREAT."
This product is best for when absolute sound deadening is not required, but moderate deadening is desired. Great for spot treating walls in your studio or office - For use in recording studios, control rooms, Offices home studios, home entertainment theaters, Home Offices.

First attach 2 strips to the upper corners of a foam square, pressing them into the foam as firmly as you can for about 10 seconds. This creates a PERMANENT bond between the strips and the foam."
"I can't compare these to anything elese, but they work perfect for me."
"Just got my foam pieces faster than expected."
"These manage to make everything sound very far away when the garage and the kitchen have only a wall separating them."
"It reduced the echo in my room and also made it look minimalist style a little bit."
"Pros: - Exactly as listed. - Not damaged or jagged. - Smooth edges. - Defined color. Cons: - Price."
"Perfect quality and shape, just seemed a little too pricy for just foam."
"I believe the ridges help break up the sound waves simply based on their shape, but I suspect that the absorption of sound waves are lacking due to the material being too lightweight."
This product comes in 12 panels that are 1 inch in thick with a height and length of 1 foot covering an area of 1 square foot each tile. The depth of this foam at 1 inch provides better soundproofing over large areas. Thin foam, over a large area, has less of a chance of distorted and muffling the sounds reverberation. Ideal for reducing echo such as Studios, Recording Studios, Vocal Booths, Control Rooms, Offices, Home Studios, Home Entertainment Theaters, Gaming Rooms, and Home Offices.more enjoyable sound by effectively controlling unwanted reverb and echo.

BUT before you stick the foam on the tape, apply 5 dots of hot glue to all 4 sides of each foam plus 1 dot in the center. Glue dots should be in the shape of a 5 dot dice (1 glue dot on all 4 corners plus 1 in the center). 3 black cardboards (typically Elmer brand). Scissors (to cut the tape). Ruler (to mark cardboard to cut). Utility knife (to cut the 3rd cardboard to size ↔️."
"Then I placed painters tape on the wall and then pressed the mounting tape against that."
"I share an out of use internal door in a subdivided house with my neighbors."
"I originally used it to line a storage box (LOHAS Home Closet Fabric Drawer,Foldable Fabric Baskets,Storage Bins (Natural)) and create a low cost "recording booth" for my microphone (See Images). I then upgraded my set-up with a new boom arm (NEEWER Microphone Suspension Boom Scissor Arm Stand) to free up space on my desk."
"They look nice, the material is sufficient, and I just ordered more to fill my high walls."
"Exactly as described and works as expected."
"I thought it would have came with some stick adhesive of some kind but it didnt so i just went to home depot and got a can for $3.50 and it worked great."
"I needed some acoustic foam for a project."

"It's made from heavy gague metal and the screw holes line up properly."

"I have a number of components (Roku, FireTV, switch, cable modem, router, etc.)."
"I don't believe it will ever break and I'm going to keep it, but would be nice to be a bit sturdier."
"I am using this network rack tray to hold a 5-port Netgear managed switch, a Ubiquiti ERL-3 and a Raspberry Pi with no issues and plenty of room to spare."

Seeing how the sides are assembled, I wouldn't be comfortable having this mounted without having a couple gusset brackets underneath it, and that's when it's empty."
"In practice, however, I ran into a few snags. I gave the rack five stars because the issues I ran into were clearly a lack of planning, but I thought I would post this warning that a 20" deep rack is probably a better investment if you're not absolutely certain of the dimensions of all the equipment going into this rack before it is purchased."
"It's very very well made with thoughtful touches like the ability to swing out from the wall. It's been in place for half a year and making changes to equipment or repairs is facilitated by opening panels and the hinge at the back allowing it to swing out from the wall. If you plan to use the latter feature you may want to make sure your cables that exit the back of the case do so on the hinge side."

In putting the tables onto the assembled frame, I had to struggle a bit to make sure the 4th bolt was aligned, but it was not so bad as to need a new pilot hole."
"The table tops are both really solid and the whole setup seems to have no flex with the foot pads adjusted to compensate for my wonky floor. My only gripe is the pre-drilled holes...I ended up putting the screws in most of the way with a drill before removing them and then attaching the table tops to the frame."
"I'm 6 foot 2 and my monitors are still a few inches lower than they should be even sitting on isolating pads. The plastic "sticker" that makes the desk black has a seam right on the bottom front edge of the desk and since they are so close together my hands are scraping the bottom right at the seam peeling back the sticker more and more and removing skin from my knuckles."
"I re-drilled all the pilot holes - started with a 1/16 and then moved to 3/32 and finally used a 3/16 to get an acceptable pilot hole so I didn't have to kill myself to screw the panels on. Finally, screwing the table top in was absurd -- the frame's screw holes are completely blocked by the cross-bar - you have to struggle to bend your screwdriver around that and sorta try to screw those in on an angle - and you absolutely cannot use a power driver so my hands almost fell apart after doing all 4 screws."
"All said and done, this COULD be a fantastic product with better packaging, handling, instruction, and sliders for the keyboard drawer."

"Since she already had 2 left/right floor standing speakers and 2 surround sound speakers on Atlantic Satellite stands so the problem was how to place the center channel speaker at the right height behind her TV and entertainment stand."
"I needed a single speaker stand for my duo - I have hydraulic stands for the full band (that work great), but I wanted to keep my duo gear and my full band gear separate so I wouldn't have to swap bags or forget to pack or bring something."
"After a few light uses, the knob which tightens the tripod legs stripped, rendering the stand useless and dangerous. I ran a test of 5 stars which went right through, but the real review (which I attached our conversation) did not. -Darren. 4/8/2015 12:00:59 PM. That's all we can do. 4/8/2015 9:21:27 AM. PYLE.

"Both the speaker mounting hole and the tripod tube indicate they are 35mm diameter, so I am not sure what I'm supposed to do now?"
"I've run live sound for years and have set up and taken down this stand and many other brands over the years."
