It depends on what's happening in your room. Low Profile Panels (1.5" deep) are built for speech-focused spaces like offices, restaurants, and classrooms. High-Mid Panels (2.5" deep) work where speech and music overlap, like churches, home studios, and gyms. Broadband Panels (4.5" deep) and Bass Trap Panels (6.5" deep) deliver the accuracy that studios, listening rooms, and home theaters require. Not sure where to start?

We provide free room layout designs to help you get it right. Send us your room dimensions and photos and we'll show you exactly what your space needs.

-
Because they actually solve acoustic problems. Foam and thin PET felt absorb high frequencies but do almost nothing below 2 kHz, leaving rooms sounding muddy and unbalanced. Our panels use Rockwool, solid wood frames, and commercial-grade fabric to deliver real absorption across the frequency ranges that matter. They'll still be working perfectly 20 years from now.
-
Absorption reduces sound energy, controlling echo, reverb, and muddiness. Diffusion scatters sound energy, maintaining liveliness and dimension while reducing harsh reflections. Most well-treated rooms use a combination of both. We offer a full range of absorption panels and diffusers, and our free room design consultations help you find the right balance.
-
Yes. In addition to our standard product line, we build custom panels, diffusers, and gobos. Custom sizing, fabric selections, and specialized configurations are all available. Contact us with your project details for a quote.
