Soundproof Panels
REDUCE RUMBLE AND IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF YOUR ROOMS
Reverberation can seriously impair listening quality in home and work spaces. When sounds bounce off hard, reflective surfaces, they make it difficult to understand a conversation, follow a movie, or concentrate on work. In these cases, sound-absorbing panels are the ideal solution to optimize room acoustics and comfort.
Note: Sometimes, improperly, “echo” is used to refer to this acoustic phenomenon. It is actually reverberation, although in the most extreme cases it may resemble an echo effect.
What are Soundproofing Panels
FUNCTION AND DIFFERENCE FROM INSULATION PANELS
Sound-absorbing panels are elements designed to absorb sound waves and reduce reverberation within a room. They are different from sound-insulating materials (which block sound between rooms): sound-absorbing panels act in the room in which they are installed, improving the listening experience and sound quality.
DESIGN AND INTEGRATION INTO ENVIRONMENTS
Many people fear that the inclusion of acoustic panels will ruin the aesthetics of the room. On the contrary, modern decorative acoustic panels are designed with great aesthetic care: they can have colorful fabrics, designer finishes, and elegant geometric shapes, blending perfectly into modern living rooms, offices, restaurants, or professional offices.
- Customizable colors
- Customized shapes
- Aesthetic as well as technical function
WHERE TO PLACE THE SOUND ABSORBING PANELS
INSTALLATION STRATEGIES
Correct placement is critical for good acoustic results. Reflective surfaces such as blank walls, glass, and high ceilings are major contributors to reverberation.
Here are some key areas where to install panels:
- Behind the television
- Next to the audio speakers
- In areas of first reflection (near sound emission points).
To support the panels, carpets, heavy curtains and partially filled bookcases can also be used to further enhance the performance.
APPLICATION IN THE TV AND HOME CINEMA AREA
One of the most common uses of sound-absorbing panels is in the entertainment area, such as the TV area or home theater. Installing them behind the speakers or on the wall behind the TV allows you to:
- Improve the sharpness of dialogues
- Limiting the effect of reverberation (mistakenly called “echo”)
- Balancing the sound even at low volume
THE ADVANTAGES OF SOUNDPROOF PANELS
CONCRETE BENEFITS IN DAILY USE
Soundproof panels offer immediate and tangible benefits:
- Improved speech understanding: ideal in offices, meeting rooms, schools
- More immersive musical experience: enhance sound performance across the entire frequency range
- Aesthetic value: they can become modern and personalized furniture elements
- Home comfort: quieter and more relaxing environments
An additional benefit concerns the sound absorption class (A, B, C, etc.), which indicates the panel’s ability to reduce reverberation: it is important to consult it before purchasing, especially in large spaces such as open spaces or restaurants.
Choosing the right soundproofing panels means significantly improving your quality of life. Whether you are creating a TV room, optimizing an open space, or furnishing a professional studio, acoustic comfort is just as essential as aesthetics.

Emotions are a fundamental part of every living being’s life. Sound and design are, for me, some of the most powerful means to generate and convey them. To share this passion, I co-founded Garvan in 2005 with Andrea Martelli.
