VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Lee Gordon

Just about every soundproofing website seems to offer a different brand of mass loaded vinyl. I've seen AudioSeal, SoundAway, Block-Aid, AcoustiGuard, and Noise Stop. Then, there is Audiomute Peacemaker.
Before I order some, does anybody know if one brand is any better than another? And is Audimute Peacemaker as good more effective than the MLV products?
Thanks.

Don't know Peacemaker specifically, but MLV is a construction material.... Not nearly as effective after the fact.

Basic rules apply.... Isolation rules. Redundancy reinforces. Reflections suck. Ninja

Well, fortunately for me, I plan to use it in the construction of my new booth, not to retro-fit anything. The Peacemaker is apparently a recycled rubber product and claims it does not need to be installed in a loosely draped fashion like the MLV is supposed to be. But I'd rather hear any accounts of personal experience from people here than rely upon manufacturers' claims.

We used it--but I'm not convinced it made any difference--You could go on the John Sayers forum and see what people think

It's tricky to use and needs to be supported with heavy washers and lags (I think) to make sure it doesn't rip. I wouldn't use it if I were building now--Green Glue is far more proven, and is easier to deal with.

Glad I could help. I'll take my puppy now.
