Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I felt that I needed to write a review of this product because some of the reviews here are borderline ridiculous. The Audimute isole works extremely well for my purpose. I needed a solution for one of the doors in my home studio that I could not treat acoustically otherwise and the combination of soundproofing and absorption with a sheet that I can put up temporarily is just perfect. Unfortunately, it is an inch too short for my particular situation but that is something I can live with. Couple of comments with respect to some of the other reviews: - Yes, it is heavy. If it wouldn't be heavy it would not work. There is just no way around that. However, it is not that heavy. I felt that this is a good compromise between functionality and usability. But you need to be able to lift 20 pounds above your head in order to hang it. - I have no idea why somebody would need instructions on how to put a screw into a wall but if you have no idea on how to use the included hardware you should probably stay away from any home improvement project. Having said that I do agree with some reviewers that using some more heavy duty hooks might be advisable. And make sure that you screw it into something solid like a stud. - The sheet has two sides. One is rubber, which is the sound barrier, and one is soft, which is the absorption side. In almost all applications I can think of you would want the absorption side on the inside and the sound barrier on the outside. Judging from the images here it seems that most people hang it with the wrong side facing inwards. If you are only interested in using it as a sound barrier it won't make much of a difference though. - It is physically impossible for a sheet with this thickness to keep out the low end rumble of your neighbor playing the latest DnB track. Do not expect miracles. It does work surprisingly well at the higher frequencies though. According to the specification, it works well above 400 Hz but has only very little effect at 200 Hz and below. - New products made of rubber can stink. Sometimes quite a bit. Give it a few days, it will go away. Fortunately, the sheet that I got had no unpleasant smell at all.
