When recording sound using the overdub method, crosstalk from neighbouring sound sources is usually not a problem. However, if all artists are recorded simultaneously, unwanted crosstalk between neighbouring sound sources can occur, especially in (excessively) small recording rooms. One of the instruments that always stands out in this context is the drums. The DS5-5 Drum Shield from t.akustik is an adequate solution to this dilemma and at the same time offers the advantage that the transparency of the acrylic allows eye contact between the artists.
The DS5-5 Drum Shield consists of five individual panels that are joined together with the corresponding connectors (hinges). Once the panels are connected to each other, handling is very simple. To make the DS5-5 Drum Shield portable, the panels fold together in an accordion style, and conversely, they are folded out again during setup - it doesn't get much easier than that. Each panel is 166 cm high, 60 cm wide, and 5.5 mm thick. When assembled, the DS5-5 Drum Shield has a length of 300 cm. When folded and with a total weight of about 36 kg, it can just about be carried under your arm.
Technicians in the studio are by no means the only people who want to shield certain sound sources. There are also situations during live shows where shielding can come in handy, and it can also be put to adequate use in the rehearsal room. The DS5-5 Drum Shield from t.akustik is a transparent acrylic screen that offers reliable sound shielding in every situation and can thus ensure effective volume control. Thanks to its very reasonable purchase price, it offers both professional and semi-professional users attractive value for money.
t.akustik has been part of the Thomann portfolio since 1997 and has established a solid reputation through its quality products at affordable prices. The brand specialises in all items that optimise the acoustics of recording studios, or any room in which music is to be recorded, by neutralising possible interferences as much as possible. So, if you need absorbers, sound diffusers, bass traps, and much more, t.akustik's extensive range is definitely worth checking out.
Even if the DS5-5 Drum Shield's name already indicates its preferred area of use, it is also suitable for shielding amplifiers and other instruments, a job that it does just as well. Apart from the professional areas of use on stage and in the studio, the DS5-5 Drum Shield can of course also be a great asset in private use. After all, the volume in small rehearsal rooms can be deafening, so even the smallest amount of damping is an improvement to the situation. In short: Your ears will thank you.
