Studio acoustic panels create the ideal environment for a studio space by eliminating the presence of unwanted sounds, such as natural reverb and standing sound waves. Whether it be for recording studios, voice-over, broadcast or podcast, or rehearsal space, Amber has the right solution to suit your studio environment. For commercial installations such as restaurants and cafes, House of Worship and education facilities, our range of wall mount acoustic panels and overhead acoustic panels can assist to reduce noise interruptions.
Acoustic panels and soundproofing materials serve different purposes, although both contribute to improving the acoustic performance of a space.
Acoustic panels are designed to absorb sound within a room, reducing echo, reverberation and unwanted reflections. Primacoustic uses a variety of materials to improve speech intelligibility and overall sound quality, including thermally bonded PET (recycled polyester), glass wool and specialised membranes.
Soundproofing materials, on the other hand, are designed to reduce the transmission of sound between spaces. They work by adding mass, isolating structures or sealing gaps to prevent sound from travelling through walls, floors, ceilings and doors. Examples include acoustic insulation, sound-rated plasterboard, mass-loaded vinyl and specialised isolation systems.
The key difference is that acoustic panels control how sound behaves within a room, while soundproofing materials help prevent sound from entering or leaving a room. In some applications, both are needed to achieve the desired result. Acoustic panels are commonly used in offices, meeting rooms, recording studios, classrooms, theatres and commercial environments.
Choosing the right solution depends on whether your priority is improving sound quality within a space, reducing noise transfer between areas, or achieving both.
The number of acoustic panels required depends on several factors, including the room's size, shape, purpose, existing surfaces and the level of sound absorption needed.
A good starting point is to consider the room's total surface area, particularly the walls and ceiling, and identify how much sound absorption is required to control echo and reverberation.

Key factors to consider when designing a room include: • Room size and volume: Larger rooms generally require more acoustic treatment, although ceiling height and room proportions also influence acoustic performance. • Room function: A recording studio, meeting room, classroom or home theatre will each have different acoustic requirements. For example, spaces where speech intelligibility is important may need different treatment to music recording environments. • Existing surfaces: Rooms with hard surfaces such as glass, concrete, timber and plasterboard tend to reflect more sound and may require additional absorption. Carpet, curtains and upholstered furniture can provide some absorption, particularly at higher frequencies. • Panel thickness and performance: Different acoustic panels absorb different frequencies. Thicker panels generally provide better low-frequency absorption, while thinner panels are more effective at controlling mid and high frequencies. • Panel placement: Positioning panels at key reflection points on walls and ceilings can significantly improve acoustic performance without necessarily covering every surface.
For more accurate results, an acoustic assessment can help determine the appropriate panel type, quantity, thickness and placement. This ensures the room achieves the desired acoustic performance without being over-treated.

Tip: Primacoustic offers a range of acoustic treatment solutions for different room sizes and applications, with room-specific considerations helping to determine the most effective configuration.
Ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted acoustic panels both help reduce reverberation and improve sound quality, but the best option depends on the room layout, available surfaces and acoustic requirements.
Ceiling-mounted acoustic panels are particularly useful when: • Wall space is limited: Rooms with extensive glazing, doors, windows or built-in furniture may not have enough suitable wall space for acoustic treatment. • The room has high ceilings: Large rooms with high or exposed ceilings can experience significant sound reflections. Ceiling panels help absorb these reflections and reduce reverberation. • Speech intelligibility is important: In meeting rooms, classrooms, offices and commercial spaces, ceiling-mounted panels can help control reflections that interfere with clear communication. • You need to treat sound across a larger area: Suspended acoustic panels, sometimes called acoustic clouds or baffles, can provide effective absorption over open areas. • A particular aesthetic is desired: Suspended panels can become an architectural feature while providing practical acoustic benefits.
Wall-mounted acoustic panels are often preferable when: • Treating specific sound reflection points, particularly in recording studios and listening rooms. • Controlling reflections at ear height in meeting and listening environments. • Ceiling installation is impractical due to services, lighting, sprinklers or structural limitations. • A more discreet, integrated wall treatment is preferred.
In many applications, a combination of ceiling and wall-mounted acoustic panels delivers the best results. The choice should be based on the room's dimensions, surface materials, intended use and acoustic assessment.
Primacoustic offers a range of wall-mounted and ceiling acoustic treatment solutions, allowing systems to be configured to suit different commercial, educational and professional audio environments.
Quality acoustic panels are designed to provide long-term sound absorption and generally do not lose their acoustic performance under normal indoor conditions. However, their lifespan and effectiveness can be affected by the materials used, environmental conditions and how well they are maintained.
Factors that can affect acoustic panel performance include: • Moisture and humidity: Exposure to excessive moisture can damage some acoustic materials, causing deterioration, mould growth or changes to their structure. • Dust and dirt: A build-up of dust can affect the appearance and, in some cases, the acoustic performance of panels, particularly those with exposed or porous surfaces. • Physical damage: Compression, tears or deterioration of the panel's internal material can reduce its effectiveness. • Material quality: Higher-quality acoustic panels made from durable materials are generally designed to maintain their sound absorption characteristics over many years.
To maximise their lifespan, install panels in suitable indoor environments, avoid excessive moisture and follow the manufacturer's cleaning and maintenance recommendations. Regularly inspect panels for visible damage or deterioration.
Primacoustic acoustic panels are manufactured using durable sound-absorbing materials and protective finishes designed for long-term performance. With appropriate installation and care, they can provide reliable acoustic treatment for many years without needing replacement.
Acoustic panels should be cleaned carefully to remove dust and surface dirt without damaging the fabric covering or the sound-absorbing material inside. Because many acoustic panels use porous materials to absorb sound, excessive moisture and harsh cleaning products should be avoided.
Cleaning requirements can vary depending on the panel construction, fabric finish and acoustic material. Always check the manufacturer's care instructions before using cleaning products or methods beyond routine dust removal.
For Primacoustic panels, follow the maintenance recommendations for the specific product range, as cleaning methods may differ between fabric-wrapped, painted and other finished surfaces. Regular, gentle maintenance will help preserve their appearance and acoustic performance over time.
