If you work in music, especially as a sound engineer, you will most likely come across height extenders. In layman’s terms, height extenders are usually used as part of a drum cage and help to give more isolation to the percussion. Most drum shield panels come in sizes of 4’ and 5.5’ which is fine for most drum kits but doesn’t leave a lot of room for the drummer if you plan on making a full drum enclosure. If your recording studio or stage plans involve a ceiling of SORBER lid panels over the drum set consider making it more comfortable for the drummer by adding on 12” or 18” height extenders.
Drum height extender panels provide more headroom so a drummer can easily get behind the drum kit without having to stoop too low. While most drum panels will be tall enough to block cymbal sound the configuration of the cage may require added height to allow a musician to enter and exit the drum kit comfortably. This holds true for drums in a recording studio or a drum set on a live stage.
At ClearSonic we offer the AX12 and AX18 height extenders to attach to your existing drum panels. Featuring an “H” channel and hinge, our height extenders easily attach to the top of existing ClearSonic panel sections. We also feature SORBER height extenders that consist of two 1’ high x 2’ wide panels hinged together that have thick compressed fiberglass encased in heavy-duty trunk cloth to contain drum sound and control reflection.

If you run a large community center it likely serves numerous purposes. Depending on the type of community center it is there may be a large hall, basketball courts, and even an auditorium; these are all rooms that can fall prey to echo sometimes making it difficult to hear what exactly is going on inside. If you have noticed that there is a great deal of echo present in your community center you may want to consider the benefits of investing in SORBER sound baffles. These baffles will help capture the echo and increase the quality of sound in the community center.
If you have a teenaged child they may be constantly trying to find new creative outlets and these outlets may change quite regularly. One interest that seems consistent across the board for teenagers is music; if your teen is a musician or wants to become a musician and start a garage band you will probably be there every step of the way to support them. Once the complete band is assembled they will need a place to practice regularly; if your home has been chosen as the practice location for the band things may start to get loud quickly. If you want to find a way to allow your teen’s band to practice and to hang on to some peace and quiet then you may want to consider the benefits of
