Montage Designer Panel
Modular geometric face for tiled architectural absorption.
Montage Designer Panels use a composed geometric face designed to tile modularly across large wall runs — great for feature walls in offices, hospitality, and creative studios where the acoustic treatment reads as a continuous architectural surface.
Send us the room dimensions and target reverb time — we’ll return a coverage plan and estimate.
Why specify the Montage Designer Panel
- Reverb Control
Reduces flutter echo and reverberation for clearer speech and improved room clarity.
- Class A Fire Rated
Meets ASTM E84 Class A — safe for commercial, hospitality, and studio environments.
- Lightweight Install
Direct-mount to walls or suspended from ceilings with minimal hardware.
- Fiber-Free Core
Open-cell melamine foam is fiber-free and thermally stable — no shedding or airborne particulates.
NRC Gauge
Independent absorption testing on our melamine foam. NRC represents the average absorption from 250 – 2000 Hz — the range that carries most speech and music energy.
- SAA
- 0.78
- Mounting
- Type A
Absorption results tested in accordance with ASTM C423-09a — independent third-party acoustic lab report supplied by the manufacturer.
NRC = Noise Reduction Coefficient, the average of the 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz absorption coefficients rounded to the nearest 0.05. SAA = Sound Absorption Average across twelve one-third-octave bands (200–2500 Hz). Mounting follows ASTM E795 (Type A = direct-to-hard-surface).
- NRC 0.00–0.30: Reflective surface — will not meaningfully reduce echo.
- NRC 0.30–0.60: Modest absorption — some reverb reduction.
- NRC 0.60–0.85: Strong absorption — noticeable clarity and comfort gains.
- NRC 0.85+: Studio / broadcast-grade absorption.
Higher NRC = more sound absorbed on impact. NRC only measures absorption within a room; it is not a soundproofing (transmission-loss) rating.

Frequently asked
- Do acoustic panels soundproof a room?
No — these panels absorb sound within a room to reduce echo, reverberation, and flutter. Blocking sound between rooms is a separate problem solved with mass, decoupling, and damping (see our Soundproofing Materials).
- What thickness should I choose?
Use 2" for general echo control in speech-range rooms, 3" for balanced broadband absorption, and 4" (or deeper wedge/pyramid profiles) when stronger low-mid response matters — home theaters, studios, and reference rooms.
- How many panels do I need for my room?
Coverage depends on room size, surface reflectivity, and target reverb time. A common starting point is 15–35% of the reflective surface area. Send us dimensions and use case and we'll return a coverage plan.
- Where do panels install best?
First-reflection points on the walls closest to speakers or the sound source, opposite the seating position, plus the ceiling directly above the listener. Corners and boundaries are for bass traps, not panels.
- Can these be mounted on any surface?
Yes — drywall, wood, concrete, and metal all work. Use adhesive, impaling clips, Z-clips, or cable suspension depending on the panel weight and finish requirements.
