Podcast and working from home
Echo in your podcast or video recordings? Improve your sound quality at home with the right acoustic panels for podcasts, YouTube and online meetings.
Listeners forgive many things, but not bad sound. Echo, room noise and reflections make podcasts, YouTube videos and online calls sound unprofessional. Luckily, you don’t need a full studio build – a few well-placed panels can make a big difference.
Typical problems for home creators
- “Bathroom” sound with lots of echo
- Room reflections picked up by the microphone
- Inconsistent sound when changing recording positions
- Poor speech clarity in online meetings
Best acoustic solutions for podcasts & creators
For home recording setups, focus on speech clarity:
- Panels behind and beside the microphone position
- Panels on the wall opposite your speaking position
- Optional ceiling panel above the desk
You don’t need to cover the whole room; 4–8 panels are often enough for a big improvement.

FAQ (podcast & WFH)
Where should I place panels for podcast recording?
Place panels behind you and to the sides of your speaking position. Avoid recording with a bare wall directly behind the microphone.
How many panels do I need for a small home office?
Often 4–6 panels around the desk area are enough to reduce echo and improve clarity.
