Acoustic Panels

Acoustic panels are absorption products that are utilized to control noise, eliminate slap echo and control comb filtering in a room. The objective is to enhance the properties of sound by improving sound quality. Often used in recording studios, home theaters and listening rooms, the purpose of acoustic panels is to reduce, but not entirely eliminate, resonance within the room. Acoustic panels deal more with the mid and high frequencies in a room. Sound absorption is different than soundproofing, which is typically used to keep sound from escaping a room.

Improve Sound Quality

GIK Acoustics’ treatments are constructed with rigid fiberglass and are broadband in nature – thus they tend to deal with the entire frequency range. Acoustic Panels are a very cost effective manner in which to treat a room. Acoustic Panels have a narrower profile ranging from 2″ – 3.625” which work to tame higher and mid frequencies.

Quality Materials

GIK Acoustics products are beyond simple do-it-yourself panels that are found on the market today. We start with only the highest-quality materials that will not sag or leak over time, then we build every acoustic panel by hand. Unlike other companies who use inexpensive materials, GIK Acoustics crafts acoustic panels and bass traps with quality insulation material, fabrics, and hardwood plywoods. We start with absorptive insulation material that is intended for room acoustics – not cheap mineral wool whose main purpose is to insulate a ship’s engine room. We then use carefully selected hardwood plywoods – not cheap imports – to construct our frames. The difference and chief advantage is dimensional stability.

Crossbanded layers and balanced construction mean that hardwood plywood won’t shrink, swell or warp as much as lumber. To finish our acoustic panels and bass traps, we offer an array of fine fabrics – from our standard 9 options to the full line of Guilford of Maine acoustic fabrics. Our team of professional builders handcraft each acoustic panel, bass trap, and diffusor to exacting standards ensuring the most attractive, effective, and dependable products. The difference is our customers are secure in knowing they receive the very best made-to-order acoustic treatments available.

Installation

242 Acoustic Panels, 244 Bass Traps, and Monster Bass Traps all come standard with 4 eyehooks in the back of the frame and accompanying picture wire. Once you have your orientation and height decided, simply attach the wire to the panel and install on the wall like a picture frame. We recommend Ooks Hooks, but any picture hook will work.
