What are acoustic baffles and how can they improve sound quality in large spaces?

Have you ever noticed how sound tends to bounce around in large spaces, making it difficult to understand what anyone is saying? This is where acoustic baffles come in. Acoustic baffles are sound-absorbing panels that can be hung from the ceiling to help reduce unwanted noise and improve sound quality in areas like concert halls, restaurants, and conference rooms.

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.

Sonofonic Acoustic Baffles in Airport

 

Sonofonic Acoustic Baffles were recently installed in the newly constructed Terminal 4 at Melbourne Airport. Designed by Hassell Architects, this high-traffic, high-ceiling space required an acoustic solution that was both effective and visually striking.

Sontext’s Sonofonic Baffles were selected due to their flexibility in colour, shape, and layout. The ability to customise the form of each baffle allowed the architect to integrate acoustic control into the broader design concept without compromise. These baffles not only reduce reverberation in open areas but also help define spatial zones within the terminal.

Designed for Complex Spaces

Jacaranda Industries, based in Melbourne managed the installation. This project presented complex engineering challenges, requiring innovative fixing and suspension systems. Jacaranda developed custom methods to meet the safety, aesthetic, and acoustic performance standards of a major international airport terminal.

To view more about Jacaranda’s role in the project, visit the Jacaranda Industries website.

Why Sonofonic Baffles?

Sonofonic Acoustic Baffles are ideal for large public spaces with high ceilings, such as terminals, atriums, and lobbies. Their suspended design allows air, light, and services to move freely while absorbing sound and reducing echo. Available in multiple colours and custom shapes, they are a practical and architectural choice for managing noise in open-plan environments.
