The Best Door for Your Recording Studio: What to Look For
Estimated Reading Time: 6-7 minutes
When building or upgrading a recording studio, most people focus on walls, acoustic panels, and audio equipment—but forget the door.
🎧 Your studio door is one of the biggest potential weak points in your sound isolation setup. Here’s how to get it right.
Why Studio Doors Matter More Than You Think
- External noise will leak into your recordings
- Internal sound will escape and disturb others
- You’ll need to constantly re-record or edit out distractions
- Your studio loses that “pro” feel
A poorly sealed or hollow door ruins even the best setup.
Top 4 Features of a High-Performance Studio Door
1. Dense Multi-Layer Core
Look for doors with steel + rock wool + acoustic foam layers.
2. Complete Sealing System
All sides should have rubber or magnetic seals + a drop-down bottom seal.
3. High STC Rating (45dB+)
The higher the STC (Sound Transmission Class), the better.
4. Stable Frame Installation
A soundproof door is only as good as the way it's installed—ensure no gaps or loose panels.
