Egg Tray Acoustic Foam 1x1 ft, Charcoal Black

I installed the Egg Tray Acoustic Foam 1x1 ft, Charcoal Black in my vocal booth, mainly for spoken voice and singing. Before treatment the room had a noticeable amount of slap echo and a bright, reflective character that was getting into recordings and making long listening sessions tiring. I was not trying to stop traffic or neighbour noise through the wall, so I specifically chose an absorption product rather than expecting foam to behave like a soundproofing barrier. After treating the main reflection area, the room sounded more controlled and spoken voice had less obvious room tone. The difference was not that the room became silent; it simply became easier to record and listen in. The Egg Tray surface gives the wall some visual texture, while the Charcoal Black finish suited the room better than a random mix of colours. This version is listed at 1 inch, but I treated thickness as only one part of the choice; placement and total treated area mattered just as much in my room. The pieces arrived packed securely. I gave the foam time to settle after unpacking instead of judging the shape immediately. Once it had recovered, the cuts and edges looked consistent enough for the installation I had planned. The 1x1 ft format made it easy to build the treatment gradually and leave deliberate gaps instead of covering the wall blindly. That was useful because I wanted the treatment to follow the actual room layout rather than force the room around fixed decorative panels. For installation I tried to keep the process simple. I cleaned the painted wall first, marked the final positions and tested one piece before committing to the complete layout. Self-adhesive tape was convenient for temporary positioning, but I would not assume it will hold equally on every wall finish. For the pieces I wanted to leave permanently, SR Adhesive felt more appropriate. A little preparation made the final alignment much better, and a second person was helpful for the larger pieces. The website was useful because the application was explained in a way that separated acoustic treatment from sound isolation. I also spoke with the MMT team about placement and was advised to start with the strongest reflection areas rather than cover every wall at once. That matched what I heard in the room and helped me avoid buying blindly. Pricing was competitive against other branded acoustic foams I checked. There were cheaper marketplace options, but the clearer product information, predictable finish, packaging and access to installation support made the overall purchase feel better value. For studio work, this made monitoring more comfortable because the room contributes less obvious flutter and splash around the desk. I would still calculate coverage based on the room rather than assume one pack will be enough for every setup.

After using the room for a few days, the change I notice most is on voice recordings, which need less correction for the room sound.

I was not trying to soundproof the room; I wanted cleaner acoustics for tracking and monitoring. The biggest improvement is in echo and reverb inside the room, not outside noise. I used SR Adhesive for the permanent pieces and the hold was solid after cleaning the wall. The website explained the application clearly enough that I knew this was for absorption, not full sound isolation. Tape was fine on one wall and weaker on another, so the surface condition definitely matters.

Egg Tray 1x1 ft version: The foam itself is usable, but my parcel arrived with a pressed edge and it took time to settle. It improved after being left open, although the delivery experience could have been better. I still found the foam useful for reflections once the expectation was corrected.

This was my first proper acoustic treatment purchase for a teaching room. Clap echo reduced clearly once enough surface area was covered.
