SoundRight acoustic wall panels are wall panels for a home theater, made to match your decor as well as treat the room. This collection has four styles, from a solid-color acoustic wallpanel to framed panels and a tuck and roll panel, and the product pages describe them as designed to reduce ambient echo. If you have been searching for home theater acoustic panels or home theater wall panels, this is where to compare the styles, sizes and colors.
Home Theater Acoustic Panels: What They Are Designed to Do
An acoustic panel is designed to absorb some of the sound that would otherwise bounce off a hard wall and come back to your ears. In a theater room, that bounced sound is the echo that can make dialogue harder to follow. The SoundRight product pages describe these panels as designed to reduce ambient echo, and they don't list absorption ratings, so think of them as home theater acoustic treatment and decor, with results that depend on your room, its size and its other surfaces.
Keeping sound from passing into the next room is a different job that usually involves the wall construction itself. Panels alone aren't designed to do it.
Acoustic Wall Panel Styles and Sizes for Home Theater
The SoundRight Acoustic Wallpanel is the plain option: a solid-color panel in 4x8, 4x9 and 4x10 sizes, available in twelve colors. The SoundRight Framed Wallpanel is made from passion suede, a smooth, supple fabric, with a frame in a complementary color. It comes in eighteen colors and in widths from 24" to 48", all 72" tall.
The SoundRight Framed Accent Panel adds an art-deco wall accent to the panel: you choose one of six accents, then the inner and outer frame colors and the panel color, in 36", 42" and 48" widths, 72" tall. The SoundRight Tuck & Roll Panel has tufted insets and is covered in black bonded leather, as its product page lists it. It comes in the same 4x8, 4x9 and 4x10 sizes as the standard panel.
Where Acoustic Panels Usually Go in a Home Theater
A common starting point is the first reflection points: the spots on the side walls and ceiling where sound from your front speakers bounces on its way to your seat. The wall behind your seating is the other usual place to look. Because the reflection point depends on where each person sits, the position changes with your layout. Start with a few panels, listen, and add more only if the room still sounds echoey.
Matching Acoustic Wall Panels to Your Theater Decor
Panels are one of the few pieces of theater decor that cover a lot of wall, so the color and style matter. A solid panel in a color close to your walls recedes, while a framed or accent panel reads as decor. Panels can also pair with home theater curtains, star panels and theater carpet.
How to Choose Acoustic Wall Panels
1. Pick a style
| Style | Covering | Sizes | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| SoundRight Acoustic Wallpanel | Solid color | 4x8, 4x9, 4x10 | A plain panel in twelve colors |
| SoundRight Framed Wallpanel | Passion suede | 24", 30", 36", 42", 48" wide x 72" tall | A frame in a complementary color, eighteen colors |
| SoundRight Framed Accent Panel | Wallpanel with frame and accent | 36", 42", 48" wide x 72" tall | Six wall accents, eighteen frame colors, twelve panel colors |
| SoundRight Tuck & Roll Panel | Black bonded leather | 4x8, 4x9, 4x10 | Tufted insets for a classic cinema look |
2. Pick a size
The standard and Tuck & Roll panels are sized to fit your ceiling, so measure your wall height before you choose between 4x8, 4x9 and 4x10. The framed styles are listed by width at a fixed 72" height.
3. Plan the placement and quantity
There is no single right panel count, because it depends on the room's size, shape and surfaces. Mark the spots you want to treat first, and call the design team if you'd like a second opinion on a layout.
