Acoustic Insulation at Orange Studio
By Mammoth Insulation
Orange Studio worked with the Mammoth team on insulating the studio for superior sound quality.
Orange Studio is the largest music production studio in the South Island. It attracts musicians and audio engineers who are after acoustically treated rooms for recordings with superior sound quality.
Their studio was being built inside an existing commercial warehouse with a total of four isolation recording areas and two control rooms.
Orange Studio wanted an acoustic panel that would soak up some of the reverberation in the room but without "sucking all the life out" of the sound.
Together the solution found was to hang Mammoth® 35-75 panel absorber from the ceiling. Having space between the panel and ceiling, rather than direct fix, added to the result meaning it absorbs the lower frequencies as opposed to just the higher frequencies. The panel is suspended in a perforated ply frame with the back of the product exposed to any reflected sound from the ceiling and the front slightly curved to diffuse the reflected sound. In addition some relocatable panels have been framed which gives staff some flexibility on placement.
The studio really nailed it, with Marshall Day testing of the rooms producing an excellent result. The response from high to low frequencies is very even. Orange Studio now has the reputation of having arguably the best room in the country for recording drums.

Our Take-back Program
Talking about taking product back and making it our client’s problem to get it back to us is one thing, actively putting bins around the country and making it easier for our clients to recycle their offcuts is another.
We don’t believe it is good enough to say, get it back to our factory and we will recycle the product. We believe putting our hand up and sharing that responsibility is a necessity. That’s why we are proud to announce we have started the process of putting Mammoth recycling bins around the country. The first two locations, beyond our factory in Auckland, are Hamilton and Wellington. We encourage all Mammoth Insulation users to bring their clean offcuts back to these locations so we can avoid landfill and create a circular economy by recycling them.
