At 1.5 inches deep, Low Profile Panels control the frequencies that matter most for speech. They eliminate echo and reverb in offices, restaurants, and classrooms, making communication clear and spaces comfortable. If speech is your focus, this is where you start.


Low Profile Panels are built to order in our Nashville shop. Production typically takes 1–2 weeks, with most orders completed in 8–10 business days. Once finished, orders usually arrive within 3–5 business days.

Smaller orders ship via UPS Ground, while larger orders ship via LTL freight to keep costs reasonable. Shipping is available within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii.

Local pickup is available in Nashville.

  • Depth: 1.5 inches

  • Mounting: Wall or ceiling

  • Sizes: Multiple standard options available

  • Weight: Varies by panel size

Detailed specifications are available in our product guides.

Low Profile Panels are designed for straightforward installation and include 2" Z-Clips for standard wall mounting.

Panels can be installed on walls or ceilings. Wall installations use the included 2" Z-Clips. For ceiling or suspended installations, we offer the following hardware options:

  • Ceiling Panel Hardware Kit
  • Suspended Wall Panel Kit (for mounting panels in front of windows, built-ins, etc.)

Each hardware option includes step-by-step installation guides, available as downloadable PDFs.

Installing panels with an air gap can further enhance low-frequency absorption, depending on placement and room layout. For an easy and consistent way to add an air gap, see our Air Gap Spacer.

Our Low Profile Panels are built using durable, high-performance materials selected for acoustic performance, longevity, and safe indoor use.

Core and Frame Materials
  • Core Material: Rockwool Rockboard 40 mineral wool
  • Sustainability: Manufactured with recycled content and designed for long service life
  • Fire Safety: Tested to ASTM E84 and meets Class A fire rating requirements
  • Frame Construction: Solid 3/4" plywood frame for strength, durability, and flexible mounting options

Our construction approach prioritizes long-term performance and structural integrity over lightweight or disposable materials.



Fabric Options

Bass Trap Panels are available in 15 standard fabric colors sourced from:

  • Guilford of Maine – Anchorage line
  • Burch Fabrics – Prime Time line

Both fabric lines are acoustically transparent, durable, and suitable for architectural interiors. There is no functional or acoustic difference between the two fabric options. They are used together to achieve our unique color palette.

All materials used in Bass Trap Panels are appropriate for indoor environments, including studios, homes, offices, schools, and houses of worship.

  • Fabrics are designed for interior architectural use
  • Materials meet the fire safety standards required for commercial installations

Mineral wool cores are fully encapsulated during construction to help contain fibers and maintain a clean, stable panel assembly

Eligible items may be returned within 30 days of delivery if unused and in original packaging. A 10% restocking fee applies, and return shipping is the customer’s responsibility. Custom and special-order products are not eligible for return.

All Bass Trap Panels include a 3-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal indoor use.

Slim Profile. Serious Acoustic Control.

Low Profile Acoustic Panels are designed specifically for spaces where speech is the primary sound source—offices, restaurants, classrooms, medical facilities, gyms, and lecture halls. These are environments where clarity, focus, and comfortable communication matter more than low-frequency control.


At 1½ inches deep, Low Profile Panels target the upper mid and high frequencies (roughly 500 Hz and above) where speech intelligibility lives. This is the range where echo, reverb, and harsh reflections make it difficult to understand what someone is saying—whether that's across a conference table, at a restaurant booth, or on a video call.


These panels don't try to do everything. They're focused, effective, and efficient at what matters most in these environments: making speech clearer and spaces more comfortable to be in.

What You'll Notice After Installation

The best acoustics are invisible. You shouldn't have to think about the room; it should just work.

After installing Low Profile Panels, here's what changes:

You don't have to repeat yourself or lean in to be heard.

The constant background noise and reflection disappear.

In offices, distractions fade and productivity increases.

No more "Are you in a tunnel?" comments.

Restaurants feel inviting instead of exhausting. Offices feel productive instead of chaotic.

Staff and customers alike leave feeling better, not drained.


On a technical level, you'll measure reduced reverb time, improved clarity, and better speech intelligibility. But the human impact is what matters: spaces become more comfortable, communication becomes easier, and people actually want to be there.

Performance You Can Trust

We test every product at Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories, one of the most respected acoustic testing facilities in North America, following ASTM C423 standards. This ensures the performance data you see is independently verified and accurate, so when we list absorption at a specific frequency, you can trust the results.

  • X Axis = Frequency in Hz | Y Axis = NRC Rating from 0-1

    NRC stands for “noise reduction coefficient.” An NRC rating is a percentage grade that represents a specific panel’s ability to reduce noise. 

    Ratings are typically expressed in decimals from 0 to 1, where 0 represents 0% (meaning the product reflects sound) and 1 represents 100% (meaning the product absorbs sound)

    So, for example, if a panel has an NRC rating of .85, that means that roughly 85% of the sound that hits that panel’s surface will stop there

    Ratings can go above 1 because they’re calculated by scoring all of the surfaces of the product, leading to ratings like 1.05.

Installation Made Simple

Great acoustics start with proper installation. Our step-by-step guides walk you through every aspect of the process, from choosing the right hardware to placing panels for maximum impact. Whether you're mounting to walls, ceilings, or corners, we've designed the installation to be straightforward and confidence-building.

Why Depth Matters

Most thin acoustic products fail because they're too shallow to be effective. Foam panels and ½-inch PET felt absorb high frequencies above 2 kHz but do almost nothing below that. When you only treat the highs, rooms sound muddy, hollow, and unbalanced. Mid frequencies dominate and mask the clarity you're trying to achieve.

Low Profile Panels at 1.5 inches deep are the minimum effective thickness for speech-focused environments. They use high-density Rockwool (8 lb/ft³) to maximize absorption in the critical 500 Hz to 4 kHz range where speech intelligibility lives. This higher density allows us to achieve better mid-range absorption with less depth, making Low Profile Panels more effective than their profile suggests.

If your room has music, mechanical noise, or low-frequency concerns, you'll need more depth. But if speech is your focus, Low Profile Panels strike the perfect balance of performance and profile.

Your Questions: Answered

  • No. Low Profile Panels have a solid 3/4" plywood frame and weigh significantly more than foam or thin PET panels. They require proper mounting hardware, either the included 2" Z-Clips for walls or our ceiling/suspended hardware kits. This ensures safe, secure installation that lasts decades.

  • Only if speech is your primary concern, like a podcast or voiceover booth. If you're recording music, mixing, or listening to music critically, you'll need deeper panels to control mid and low frequencies. See our High-Mid, Broadband, or Bass Trap panels instead.

  • It depends on the size of your room and the severity of the acoustic problems. Most offices and restaurants need treatment on multiple walls and the ceiling to achieve meaningful results. We offer free room layout designs. Send us your room dimensions and photos, and we'll show you exactly what you need.

  • Because they're built to perform and built to last. Foam panels and thin PET felt don't have the depth, density, or construction quality needed to solve real acoustic problems. Low Profile Panels use high-density Rockwool, solid wood frames, and commercial-grade fabric. They'll still be working perfectly 20 years from now. Foam panels will be sagging, crumbling, and in a landfill.
