Acupanel broadband absorbers

The soundfoundations Acupanel broadband absorbers are designed for ideal absorption at the primary and secondary reflection points in a room as well as to control heavy comb filtering behind the listener or to treat flutter and echo in large open spaces like restaurants , theatres etc.

Generally mounted on the walls these 2 by 4 panels are made from high density fibre wool backed by our chemically bonded stranded wood fibreboard.A combination of these absorption materials allows these panels to achieve an nrc of over 85% at 300hz and and average NRC of over 1.0.Thus proving to be excellent absorbers over a wide frequency range especially the all important midrange and in doing so pretty much outperforming most of our competition as you can see in the graph below.

This is a true broadband absorber

The panels also find use in the construction of a ceiling cloud or can be mounted behind the listener to control comb filtering that usually happens when the rear wall is close to the listeners head

The panels are 3 inch thick and an internal framework ensures straight and sharp edges .the Acupanel is finished by our imported acoustic fabric that can be easily wiped down.
Available in a steel grey color the panels feature double keyhole slots at the rear that allow them to be mounted on the wall as easily as you mount a photo frame

Custom sizes may also be ordered.
Note: we request, that if comparing prices with other manufacturers please consider product size, thickness and,NRC values at important octaves as well as construction.

ULTRA control panels – Broadband Absorbtion

The ultra panels are an upgrade over the Acupanel broadband absorbers.
These 3 inch thick control panels feature a composite construction of chemically bonded recycled wood fibre together with high density polyfibre wool and composite recron

The combination of these absorption materials allows these panels to achieve an nrc of over 88% at 300hz and 70% at 200Hz and average NRC of over 1.0.Thus proving to be excellent absorbers over a wide frequency range especially the all important midrange and in doing so pretty much outperforming most of our competition as you can see in the graph below.

Ideal to treat primary and secondary reflections these panels also will control flutter and echo and can also be used in a cloud format for ceiling hung installation (we can provide hardware for this when requested).
All panels come with keyhole slots that allow mounting of the panel using to wall mount screws just like a photo frame.

Finished with a natural polished maple wood outer frame and our imported black acoustic fabric these not only offer better performance but also look far more aesthetically pleasing and are suitable for stylish listening spaces and 5star properties. In fact they mimic a classy panel speaker!!

Custom sizes may also be ordered.
Note: we request, that if comparing prices with other manufacturers please consider product size, thickness and,NRC values at important octaves ( not just average NRC ) as well as construction.

  • Size : 20inch*40 inch
  • Thickness : 3inch

The Bass Buster

The Bass buster is our propreitory bass trap that provides absorption of low frequencies down to 60Hz and is an absolute essential to take care of the bass boom that plagues many studio and listening rooms
Bass frequencies are difficult to control and absorb due to their wavelengths and a separate product is required for it

Ideally to be mounted in the 4 corners of the room using the provided keyhole slots we advice that the traps are mounted flat against a wall as opposed to the 45degree mounting that is adviced by some manufacturers.Please understand that sound is a wave and flows in all directions and 45degree mounting serves no extra purpose – but in fact just takes up more space.

One should note that a Bass trap is very different from a broadband absorber in the construction and function.Many a time users just tend to use a 1 or 2 inch thick broadband panels as a bass trap.One should note that this thickness will absorb absolutely no bass!!

The bass buster is a 20 inch by 40inch panel that is 6 inches thick.it consists of multiple alternate layers of high density glass wool and polyfibre wool.An air gap strategically included in the construction goes a long way in tackling the lower octaves.The panel is then backed with our special chemically bonded stranded fibre board which is an essential tool in lower octave absrobtion – our last line of defence.The above layers are housed within a wood framework to get the neat and sharp edges.Lastly the panel is draped within our acoustic grey fabric.

The Ultra Bass Trap

The Ultra trap takes bass traps to the next level and employs a construction that is used by GIK acoustics. The trap that provides absorption of low frequencies down to 50Hz and is an absolute essential to take care of the bass boom that plagues many studio and listening rooms

Ideally to be mounted in the 4 corners of the room using the provided keyhole slots we advice that the traps are mounted flat against a wall as opposed to the 45degree mounting that is advised by some manufacturers. Please understand that sound is a wave and flows in all directions and 45degree mounting serves no extra purpose – but in fact just takes up more space.

The Ultra bass trap is a 20 inch by 40inch panel that is 6 inches thick.it consists of multiple alternate layers of high density composite wool and polyfibre wool.An air gap strategically included in the construction goes a long way in tackling the lower octaves. Behind the Air gap is a resonating diaphragm that is the most instrumental is absorbtion of the lowest octaves.
The panel is then backed with our chemically bonded wood fibre board and finished within a wood framework to get the neat and sharp edges.The outer edge is remoulded with a clasy Maple wood outer framework over our imported black acoustic fabric just like our ultra control panels
