dead room

Echo-free recording space

A dead room is a space designed to absorb sound rather than reflect it, used for acoustic testing and recording.

The walls are covered with sound-dampening materials that eliminate echo and reverberation.

The opposite is a live room, which allows sound to bounce.

The vocal booth was set up as a dead room to capture clean takes.
