How many times in your career have you had to think about noise when recording or using your mic? Not the electronic kind in your equipment--the external sonic kind. Hopefully, you were experienced enough to figure out a way to either 1. get away from the noisy sourse, or 2. insulate yourself from the evil sounds.
In Science Daily, the story reads, "Researchers in Spain have proven that metamaterials, materials defined by their unusual man-made cellular structure, can be designed to produce an acoustic cloak -- a cloak that can make objects impervious to sound waves, literally diverting sound waves around an object." Whoa! think of the possibilities. Wonder if we could just throw a blanket of stuff like this over us and SHAZAAM! Instant sound booth.
Here is the article in Science Daily. Make sure you read the related articles linked in the side-bars. I hope someone in our business stays on top of these developments and gets us a reasonably priced option.
Talk to me...about the blanket theory.

I'm curious to see if this audio cloaking will work in a consumer space. It seems like it's initial drive will be in military application (specifically navy).
I hope a cost effective solution presents itself soon. If it works great, but is priced at to high a premium, I'll stick with owens corning...
