GIK Acoustics PIB Portable Vocal Screen

The PIB is designed primarily to absorb room reflections and echo rather than block external noise. While it significantly cleans up your recording by tightening the sound, it is not a soundproof enclosure and will not fully isolate you from loud ambient sounds like traffic or appliances.

The PIB is highly effective for instruments as well as vocals. Its broadband absorption makes it a great tool for isolating acoustic guitars, woodwinds, or percussion, helping to reduce room bleed and provide a more controlled, professional track.

Yes, the PIB features a sturdy wooden frame designed to be freestanding. Its wide footprint provides reliable stability, though it is always best to place it on a flat, level surface to ensure it remains secure during use.

When collapsed, the unit measures 43 inches wide by 45 inches tall. Because it folds flat, it can easily be tucked away in a closet, behind a door, or under a bed, making it ideal for home studios with limited space.

At 78 inches tall, the screen provides ample coverage for most users. You should position your microphone inside the 'V' of the screen, ensuring the screen is behind the mic to capture the sound waves before they bounce off the walls behind you.

Weighing 30 pounds, the PIB is substantial enough to be stable but light enough for most adults to move and reposition as needed. Its collapsible design makes it manageable to transport between rooms or to different recording locations.
