A test video to see how acoustic foam affects the acoustics of my livestream area.

Note that I subsequently had to add a microphone, as the original acoustics seem to have been creating a natural bass attenuation effect, either by phase cancellation of the low frequencies or accentuation of the mid and high frequencies. The foam gave the bass dominance that swamped the audio a bit, making it less suited to devices with small speakers. That's been fixed now.

You can check that out on the livestream channel BigCliveLive:-

The foam was specifically bought from a UK supplier called Soundfix:-

It was selected for its flame retardant properties, which is extremely important to avoid similar results to the horrific Station Nightclub fire:-

Or the local Summerland disaster when an entertainment complex made with flammable ceiling tiles, carpet, glazing etc went on fire and many people died at the chained and padlocked fire exits:-

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
