sound blankets berlin

[trombles]

anyone know where to score proper quilted sound blankets in berlin?  they're proving surprisingly elusive.  i've tried kortwich and a few g&l shops, so far no dice.

[Mungo]

Kortwich not?

 

You can try calling Zeigermann in Hamburg or Ambient recording in Munich. That's both of course too far away, but maybe they know someone. German sound scene isn't that big.

You mean something like this? Not quilted and quite pricy, but available for pick up at the Berlin Moritzplatz store.

Thanks for the replies, i'm looking for something like these:

Do they need to be in Berlin? I got mine from NoyzBoyz in the Netherlands. They‘ll ship them to you in Berlin

Sound blankets are basically thick moving and storage blanket pads. 

 

I would question any company that says it is making specifically sound isolating pads that look identical to a furniture moving pad in my storage unit.

 

$143 EURO from noyz boyz 

 

Maybe this blanket is a larger size?

 

VS.

 

$20.49 US from USCargoControl

 

But you could buy 10 of these for that price. 

 

I'm just sayin...

If you call a moving and storage company they will probably be glad to sell you some used or extra blankets they have stacked to the ceiling. 

[tourtelot]

Yes!  Moving and storage, not grip and electric.

Plus shipping you‘ll have to quadruple that price at least, these things are heavy. Also, I can’t tell from your pictures if they are the same thickness. 

Back when I was looking for mine, I had not been able to source these blankets somewhere nearby. Those blankets Matthias linked to are all black, but having the white alternative is worth a lot.

Princess Auto (Toronto) have several style shipping blankets at a reasonable price, often on sale at a reduced price.

You should be able to find moving blankets on almost every continent if you look to the correct industry for purchase.

Maybe not Antarctica.

Although here the white side could be useful

Camouflage to keep the AD from spotting you.

How about a handful of (very lightweight) cotton sheets in white and grey (or light green or whatever) to stick over the cheap black blankets when required? Obviously an extra step to setting up but not a major one?

That might be possible, but in those situations where I‘m setting up the blankets at the last moment (which sometimes happens) every step would be a major step. 

 

I rarely have a chance to use more than two of these blankets.  So if you only had two that would cover a lot of situations and the high price of buying them (e.g.) at NoyzBoyz is less relevant. It’s not like you need to replace them once a year

👍🏼

I just ordered a few blankets at this shop. I asked if they could provide black and white blankets and Mr. Maafi of C&M Umzugslogistik promised to import a batch of b/w blankets. In about three months time they will be available!

 

So, tell everyone! 

😃

That’s cool!!

I introduced sound blankets to the UK in 1991 and since then have sold over 3,000 all over Europe including Berlin and  Zurich.)

The Chinese manufacturers are a fickle lot and have dropped the black ones in favour of the original blue ones which are well known in the US and Canada as they claim that they sell more blue than they ever did with the black ones. (They even had a spate of only supplying green.)

I stock the blue ones and will gladly get a shipping cost to Berlin if I can get the quantity required.

If you don't mind them being white you could get a couple of thick but cheap Ikea bedcovers like these:

The heavier the merrier.
