Good acoustics aren’t just for professional recording studios — they matter in home environments too. Whether you're setting up a podcast corner, media room, or home studio, installing the right ceiling and wall panels can drastically improve sound clarity while reducing echo and background noise.

In Australia, Sontext offers a wide range of acoustic solutions suitable for both residential and commercial use. Our Serenity Fabric Panels and Murano Timber Panels are especially popular for home studios, as they combine excellent sound absorption with stylish design.

Acoustic panels work by absorbing mid and high-frequency sounds that would otherwise bounce off hard surfaces, creating a cleaner and more accurate listening environment. From timber veneer finishes to fabric-faced polyester options, these panels not only manage reverberation but also enhance the visual appeal of your space.

Installation Tips for Ceiling and Wall Panels

Proper installation ensures your panels perform effectively. Here are some tips to keep in mind when fitting sound absorbing panels in a home studio:

• Use the right adhesive: For most walls or ceilings, a quality solvent-based acoustic glue is recommended.
• Anchor securely: On plastered or uneven walls, mount panels to upright wood joists using self-tapping screws for a stable fit.
• Leave an air gap: A small space behind the panel (e.g. 25–50mm) can improve performance by increasing absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best acoustic panels for home studios?
Serenity Fabric Panels and Murano Timber Panels both offer excellent performance and design flexibility for residential sound control.

Do ceiling panels perform better than wall panels?

Can I install acoustic panels myself?
Yes. Many Sontext panels are designed for easy installation using glue or mechanical fixings. We also provide support for installers.
