Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a home studio enthusiast, the new GoboBlocks system from Gik Acoustics is set to revolutionize how you approach acoustic isolation. With a design focused on flexibility and high-performance sound control, GoboBlocks provide an innovative solution for any recording environment.
The GoboBlocks System: Flexibility Meets Performance
Gone are the days of cumbersome permanent booths that limit your creativity and workflow. The GoboBlocks system offers serious acoustic control without the need for permanent installations. Each GoboBlock is equipped with a built-in sound barrier that enhances microphone isolation, all while maintaining the sleek, beautiful form factor familiar to users of Gik Acoustics’ SoundBlocks.
You can easily stack GoboBlocks vertically or arrange them side-by-side using upgraded clasps no tools or hinges required. This modular design allows for effortless adjustments, making it simple to move, rearrange, or scale your setup to meet the demands of your session.
Enhanced Isolation for Professional Results
GoboBlocks take acoustic control to the next level. Each unit features a rigid internal barrier designed to significantly enhance sound blocking capabilities, making them ideal for ensemble recording setups. By preventing microphone bleed, GoboBlocks improve clarity and separation among multiple instruments or vocalists in the same room.
Whether you’re tracking a full drum kit alongside guitars or separating lead vocals from background harmonies, GoboBlocks help you achieve cleaner, more professional recordings. This enhanced blocking performance is perfect for engineers, producers, and home studio users seeking portable isolation solutions.
GoboMode: Compact and Effective
The GoboMode setup features two GoboBlocks stacked vertically, reaching a total height of 120cm. This compact configuration is perfect for isolating guitar amps, drums, or seated acoustic musicians, all while maintaining a minimal footprint. It’s designed for situations where maintaining line of sight between performers is crucial, making it an excellent choice for live rooms, rehearsal spaces, or temporary setups.
Each GoboBlock also boasts a dual-sided design, with one side covered in absorptive fabric and the other featuring a reflective surface with an optional diffuser plate. This versatility allows you to control how sound behaves in your space—tame reverb by facing the absorptive side inward, or add natural diffusion by flipping it around.
GoboMode XL: Expanding Your Options
For those needing even greater flexibility, the GoboMode XL configuration expands upon the GoboMode by incorporating three GoboBlocks wide and two high, creating a full sound shield measuring 120cm tall by 180cm wide. This larger format offers increased isolation for guitar amps, drum kits, and multiple instrument setups while maintaining easy reconfiguration.
Ideal for larger tracking rooms or open studio layouts, GoboMode XL enables you to create controlled recording zones, reduce bleed, or section off entire performance areas on the fly.
Built to Last and Adapt
Each GoboBlock is constructed with a durable frame and absorptive insulation, complemented by optional Alpha or Impression plate face designs that balance diffusion and absorption. The recessed faceplate adds a polished appearance, while upgraded clasps ensure secure stacking and transport. With no hinges required, GoboBlocks are easily stacked and moved independently, maintaining a clean and stable form factor.
Perfect for Evolving Studio Layouts
GoboBlocks are modular, portable, and designed for quick rearrangement, making them perfect for hybrid spaces and evolving studio layouts. Whether you need a quick soundproof barrier, a vocal isolation wall, or a flexible way to separate players during an ensemble session, GoboBlocks deliver professional-level results without the need for permanent installation.
Choosing the Right Solution for Your Needs
While GoboBlocks focus on maximizing isolation, GIK Acoustics also offers SoundBlocks, designed specifically for optimized bass trapping and overall room treatment. Depending on your specific recording needs whether it’s isolation, treatment, or a balanced combination of both GIK Acoustics provides options tailored to your goals.
