About Burton Acoustix
Burton Acoustix is an independent site that explains soundproofing and room acoustics in plain language. It is funded by Amazon affiliate links.
Who is behind it
Burton Acoustix was founded by Dominic Heng and began as an acoustic panel maker selling on Amazon and Etsy.
The site is independently owned and has no investors. No maker or PR firm tells it what to write.
Every guide is written by Burton Acoustix Editorial; its page lists the newest ones.
What it covers
It also has guides to soundbars, DJ and MIDI controllers and turntables.
What we check, and what we don’t
- What we check. We check product facts against the makers’ own manuals and spec pages. A product we recommend has to be rated 4.0 stars or higher on Amazon from at least 50 reviews, and in stock when we check it.
- What we don’t do. We don’t test products hands-on.
The explanations rest on published acoustics and the makers’ own documents.
How the site earns
Some links on Burton Acoustix are affiliate links to Amazon. If you click one and buy something, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
As an Amazon Associate, Burton Acoustix earns from qualifying purchases.
Products get linked because we would recommend them, never the other way around. No brand pays us to write about them, and there are no sponsored posts.

Our rules, and what we don’t cover
The rules we keep
- A guide exists to teach you something. It succeeds if you leave knowing more, whether or not you buy anything.
- If a link conflicts with a recommendation, the recommendation wins.
- Most acoustic problems are room problems, not gear problems.
- No pop-ups, no countdown timers and no false urgency.
What we don’t cover
Headphones, hi-fi separates, car audio and pro studio design. If you’re building a control room from scratch, hire an acoustician. We can help with the room you already have.
