Finding the best reflection filters for vocal recording changed how I work from home. After months of vocals that sounded like they were bouncing off plaster walls in my apartment, I tested a dozen microphone isolation shields in untreated rooms, rented bedrooms, and one converted attic. Out of all those hours, ten stood out, and […]

The best acoustic foam kits for home studios are pre-bundled panels (usually 12 inch by 12 inch polyurethane tiles) that absorb mid- and high-frequency reflections inside your room.

I have spent the last three months hauling ten classroom projectors across elementary schools, high school classrooms, and a community college lecture hall to find the best projectors for classroom presentations in . I sat in on lessons with windows wide open, ran slide decks under fluorescent lights, paired each unit with a Chromebook, an

Finding the best ultra short throw projectors for small rooms changed how I watch movies at home. After testing eight models over six weeks in an 11-foot-wide living room, a 9-foot bedroom, and a tiny apartment den, I can tell you this category has matured faster than almost anything else in home theater.
