About this resource
GIK Acoustics was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2004 by musician Glenn Kuras. Its company history records a European operation established in Bradford in 2008, and describes manufacturing in both the United States and Europe. The business specializes in physical acoustic treatment for spaces ranging from recording studios and listening rooms to offices, restaurants and voiceover booths. [1]
The catalogue includes broadband absorption, deeper bass traps and hybrid absorber-diffuser designs rather than one interchangeable panel type. Its history names the Soffit Bass Trap, Alpha Series and modular Sound Blocks among developments. GIK also describes lab testing and different material or front-plate approaches, connecting the treatment’s construction with its intended acoustic function rather than presenting appearance alone as the basis for selection. [1]
Free room consultation is a significant part of the service, with advice intended to connect products to a particular space and workflow. Articles, videos and a knowledge base provide another entry point for understanding treatment. The history records a 2015 US patent for its two-frame absorber and FlexRange technology, followed by the Alpha hybrid absorption-diffusion series in 2018. Consultation is offered for both production spaces and domestic listening rooms. [1]
