Here’s a useful tool for choosing black masking fabric whether you’re interested in a sewn curtain or just draping material. The fabrics below are ranked in descending order of price and described in terms of opacity, blackness, weight, width and use. Some of these fabrics are also rated for acoustic properties so click through to their product pages, and view the "Technical Info" tab on those pages to see more.

I used this black fabric comparison chart from Rose Brand to help me choose the right fabric for a Sprunki Retake performance – a musical game that requires extremely precise lighting and sound. It helped me choose a fabric that was both deep black and soundproof, giving the stage a professional look and sound that didn’t bounce around. It was really helpful that they provided clear information about the thickness, opacity, and performance of each fabric. I’ve bookmarked it for future shows!
Working in enclosed spaces, I often dealt with stuffiness and heat. However, I once encountered air conditioners controlled by Sensibo, which maintained a comfortable temperature. It made working so much easier and more pleasant.
