Transform your noisy space into a sonic oasis with R3B Acoustic Panels. Crafted from only the highest quality materials to ensure exceptional performance and aesthetic appeal. To effectively reduce room reverberation and improve speech clarity, consider 50mm thickness. Select 75mm thickness for rooms that may benefit from better low frequency absorption such as a home cinema or a sound recording room.
Each panel is hand made with care. Our process begins with a timber frame, which provides a sturdy & durable base for the panel. This frame is then covered with a flexible backing which further improves acoustic performance, particularly at the lower frequency range. The fabric is then stretched, tensioned & fixed. The end result is a sag & crease finish that not only looks great but also performs at the highest level.

In order to absorb sound more effectively, position the panel so that it is directly facing the sound source at an appropriate height. In most cases, panels should be fixed at least 80cm from the floor (vertically) and if they are installed in a common area or hallway where people may stand and chat, we recommend that they be oriented horizontally and positioned higher up on the wall. The efficacy of sound absorption can be increased if the panel is displaced from the wall by 20mm+ rather than being flush mounted. Lower sound frequency absorption can be improved using this technique and incorporating spacers is possible thanks to the R3B Acoustic Panel's hard backing.
"We set up a small meeting room which ended up being unusable.
You could hear people in the room from the other end of the offices, and was so boomy in the room, you could feel the noise pressure. And when we tried to make conference calls via the speaker the other end complained about echo which made it useless.
Fast forward to now and the difference is chalk and cheese.
No echo, no problem with calls, no issue with holding meetings..." - Stuart.T, Sydney NSW
As restaurants continue to prioritise not only the quality of their food but also the overall dining experience, the importance of acoustics in these spaces has become increasingly evident. Many patrons have complained about the noise levels in restaurants, making it difficult to have conversations and enjoy their meals. By installing our broadband acoustic panels, restaurant owners can create a more enjoyable dining experience for their patrons, ensuring that conversations can flow easily and that everyone can fully appreciate the flavours of their meals.

Acoustic Performance - What is NRC?
In simple terms, the NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) of a material measures its ability to absorb sound. The higher the NRC, the more effective a material is at reducing the amount of sound that bounces around a room before reaching your ears. In general, a product with a high NRC rating means that less coverage is required to achieve noticable results. Products such as Bunnings 9mm acoustic pinboards typically have a NRC of 0.3. Ratings are expressed in decimals from 0 to 1, where 0 represents 0% sound absorption and 1 represents 100% sound absorption. Third-party laboratory measurements are done according to a standard test method. In some cases, the measured sound absorption coeffiency is greater than 1.0. As recommended by the test method, these values are reported as measured and not adjusted.
Our aluminium split batten system (supplied) is a robust, concealed wall mounting accessory that leaves no more damage than hanging a picture frame. Two pre-drilled holes allow for a quick and easy fitting and once interconnected, the spacing is a mere 5mm from the wall.
