If you’re looking to improve the sound acoustics in your home or business, acoustic panels are an excellent solution.
Acoustic panels are typically made of compressed mineral wool or foam wrapped in fabric, and they absorb sound waves to limit reverberation, clarify speech and reduce general noise. They effectively dampen and deaden sound in offices, restaurants, homes and other enclosed spaces. For effective soundproofing, however, it’s crucial to understand where to place acoustic panels in a room.

Here are a few basic guidelines to follow when you install your acoustic panels:
The success of acoustic panel placement also depends on the specifics of your room and what you’re using it for. For example, if you’re soundproofing for a home theater, the goal is to create a funnel-like, surround-sound environment like the one you’d experience in a regular movie theater. In a recording studio, on the other hoof, you would ideally place an emphasis on the microphone area to diffuse sound near it and absorb sound everywhere else.
You’ll also want to be aware of how the walls of your room interact with sound and acoustic panels. For example, the floor and ceiling are responsible for the “height” of sound in the room, meaning its downward or upward movement, while the front and back walls dictate the “length” of the sound, meaning how far and well it carries across a room. When placing acoustic panels, you’ll want to put them where the sound waves will hit the walls. This could be level with a set of speakers, or placed at sitting or standing height to help with noise from individuals.
