SONTEXT SONOBAFFLE™ Acoustic Baffles

Reliable Mounting for Ceiling Baffles

Sontext offers a range of reliable and easy-to-use hanging systems for acoustic baffles. These systems are designed to securely suspend baffles from open ceilings, helping reduce reverberation in large spaces like offices, classrooms, auditoriums and public buildings.

The hanging kits include all the key components for a fast, stable installation — including ceiling clips, steel cables and adjustable fixings. Designed to work with our Sonofonic and other polyester baffles, these systems help maintain both acoustic performance and visual alignment.

Why Use Acoustic Baffles?

Acoustic baffles are a practical option for reducing noise in spaces with high or open ceilings. Unlike traditional panels that are fixed to walls or ceilings, baffles are suspended vertically to absorb sound from both sides. This makes them ideal for places where ceilings are exposed, such as warehouses, workshops, gymnasiums, and other commercial interiors.

Sontext SONOBAFFLES are designed to improve sound quality by absorbing unwanted echo and reducing reverberation. They’re especially helpful in large rooms where sound bounces off hard surfaces and creates uncomfortable levels of background noise.

Baffles are installed using a simple hanging system and can be suspended from most roof structures. This makes them suitable even when there’s no drop ceiling in place.

Benefits of Acoustic Baffles

  • Sound absorption from both sides: Because baffles hang freely, both faces absorb sound — improving overall performance compared to flat-mounted panels.
  • Better speech clarity and comfort: By reducing reverberation, baffles help people hear and communicate more clearly in shared spaces.
  • Ideal for open or industrial areas: Baffles work well in spaces without suspended ceilings, such as factories, showrooms, and auditoriums.
  • Visually customisable: Available in a range of fabrics, colours, and finishes to suit simple or decorative settings — including options for high-moisture or industrial environments.
  • Flexible sizes and shapes: SONOBAFFLES come in a variety of sizes and finishes. The type of finish can affect acoustic performance, so it’s best to speak to Sontext for advice.

Acoustic Baffle Hanging systemFrequently Asked Questions

What is an acoustic baffle?

An acoustic baffle is a sound-absorbing panel that hangs vertically from a ceiling. It helps reduce echo and improve sound quality in open or noisy spaces.

How are baffles installed?

Baffles are installed using ceiling clips and suspension cables. The hanging system allows them to be positioned at different heights as needed.

Do acoustic baffles need a suspended ceiling?

No. Baffles can be hung directly from roof structures or exposed ceilings, making them ideal for warehouses, gyms, and industrial areas.

Are these systems compatible with all baffles?

They are designed for Sontext SONOBAFFLES and other similar polyester acoustic baffles. We recommend checking compatibility for custom shapes or weights.

Can I install the hanging system myself?

Installation is straightforward, but for best results and safety, we recommend using a qualified tradesperson or installer.

Need Help Choosing a Hanging System?
