Built for Maximum Versatility

Recording Studios

Whether you're tracking vocals, recording drums, or capturing an orchestra, gobos give you control over isolation, room tone, and what each microphone hears. Position them to create temporary iso booths, shape reflections around instruments, or balance the direct-to-reflected sound ratio. This is how the classics were recorded—musicians in one room, gobos creating the separation and tone that made those records legendary.

Home Studios & Mixing

Home studios and mixing rooms demand flexibility without permanent construction. Gobos let you transform a bedroom or garage into a professional environment. Track vocals with controlled reflections, then reposition them behind your mix position as deep bass traps or rear wall absorption. Address asymmetrical room layouts or create sidewall treatment where permanent panels aren't an option. The dual-sided design lets you balance absorption and diffusion exactly where needed. When the session's over, roll them aside and reclaim your space.

Content Creation

Video production and content creation demand clean audio and flexible setups. Gobos control reflections behind microphones, create defined acoustic zones in multi-purpose spaces, and adapt as your content evolves. When you need to reposition for different shots or recording scenarios, gobos move with you.

Gobos Move
With You

At sizes ranging from 4'x3' to 8'x4', the MCA Gobos provide real acoustic control for modern studios and applications. The dual-sided design gives you two tools in one: absorptive fabric for controlling reflections and diffuse pegboard for maintaining energy and dimension. This flexibility lets you adapt your room to each session's specific needs.

Use gobos to:

Create temporary isolation between instruments during tracking
Control what each microphone hears without permanent construction
Position as freestanding bass traps behind mix positions
Shape room tone by adjusting placement and orientation
Address asymmetrical room layouts where permanent treatment isn't practical
Build modular acoustic environments that adapt as your work evolves

What Changes When You Add Gobos

Recording becomes more intentional

You control exactly what each microphone hears, shaping tone and isolation to serve the performance.

Flexibility replaces compromise

Rooms that couldn't support permanent treatment now have professional-grade acoustic control.

Sessions adapt in real time

Reposition gobos between takes to dial in exactly the sound you need.

Spaces become multi-purpose

The same room works for tracking, mixing, video production, and everything in between.

Quality improves immediately

Vocals sit clearly in recordings, drum tones become focused, and room reflections support the sound instead of fighting it.

Gobos don't just solve acoustic problems. They give you creative control over your space, your sound, and your sessions.

Your Questions: Answered

Yes. While our standard gobos feature absorptive fabric on one side and reflective diffuse pegboard on the other, we can build gobos with fabric on both sides for customers who need full absorption. Contact us for custom orders.
Broadband gobos (5 3/4" deep with 4" insulation) are effective from 100 Hz up and work well for vocal tracking, instrument isolation, and mid/high-frequency control. Bass Trap gobos (7 3/4" deep with 6" insulation) extend absorption down to 63 Hz and provide deeper low-frequency control for mix positions, tracking rooms, and bass-heavy applications.
Both. Casters install and remove easily. Leave them on for maximum mobility during sessions. Remove them for better acoustic isolation to the floor and more compact storage. Many customers use both approaches depending on the application.
Absolutely. We offer custom dimensions and can add sightline windows for visual communication between rooms. Contact us with your specific requirements and we'll provide a quote.

Position Bass Trap gobos against walls with a few inches of air gap behind them. This increases their effective depth and improves low-frequency absorption. They work particularly well as rear wall treatment behind mix positions or in corners for maximum modal control.
Yes. Gobos are incredibly versatile in small spaces. Use them to control reflections behind your microphone during vocal tracking, position them as rear wall treatment when mixing, or roll them aside when you need floor space. The dual-sided design lets you balance absorption and reflection based on what the room needs.
