Overview
The Acoustimac Sound Absorbing Acoustic Panel DMD 4 x 2 x 2 CHARCOAL is a fabric-wrapped acoustic treatment panel for wall installation. Also, its 4 lb mineral wool core supports echo control and reduction of reflected sound in residential, commercial, studio, school, gym, restaurant, and religious settings.
The panel is designed to improve room sound quality and reduce echo. It supports acoustic treatment where reflected sound is a priority. However, its stated role focuses on sound absorption through fixed wall placement.
Each 48 x 24 x 2 inch acoustic panel covers 8 square feet. Its cabinet-grade wood structure combines a rigid frame with a dense absorptive core.
Key takeaways
- The panel measures 48 inches by 24 inches by 2 inches and covers 8 square feet.
- A 4 lb Owens Mineral Wool core supports broadband sound absorption.
- The core carries an average NRC rating of .95 or higher.
- DMD fabric covers the front and sides, while wood forms the inner frame and backing.
- The panel carries an ASTM E84 Class A fire rating.
- Mounting brackets, hardware, and screws come with the panel.
What the product is designed to do
This fabric-wrapped acoustic treatment panel is intended to address reflections across low-mid to high frequencies. Also, its published frequency data covers test points from 125 Hz through 4000 Hz.
The suggested home settings include foyers, grand rooms, man caves, living rooms, and home theaters. In addition, studio settings include professional recording studios and home studios.
Office applications cover offices, lobbies, waiting areas, conference rooms, and break rooms. Restaurant settings include diners, bistros, cafeterias, and eateries.
Church acoustics applications include churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and ashrams. Also, school and gym settings include classrooms, multipurpose rooms, libraries, offices, lunchrooms, and gymnasiums.

The wood structure supports fixed wall placement and gives the panel a rigid internal form. Also, the dense mineral wool core supplies the stated sound absorption characteristics.
Installation and placement notes
The panel includes mounting brackets, installation hardware, and screws for wall mounting. Next, the easy-mount hardware supports direct placement on drywall or another suitable wall substrate.
Its approximate 10.5-pound weight calls for secure wall mounting. Also, the rigid wooden frame and wrapped fabric surface suit fixed wall positioning rather than freestanding placement.
The intended placement covers rooms where echo control and reflected-sound reduction are priorities. A guide to reducing echo in a room can add context for planning panel locations.
Performance characteristics described
The core has an average NRC rating of .95 or higher. Also, the frequency-specific values are 0.22 at 125 Hz and 0.82 at 200 Hz.
The values rise to 1.21 at 500 Hz and 1.10 at 1000 Hz. In addition, the panel records 1.05 at both 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz.
These figures support its intended use as a broadband absorber across low-mid to high frequencies. The high NRC acoustic panel combines those ratings with a 2-inch mineral wool core.
The ASTM E84 Class A rating identifies its surface burning characteristics classification. Also, this classification supports use across the interior environments named for the panel.
Review patterns buyers commonly mention
Repeated feedback focuses on improved room sound quality and reduced echo. Also, buyers commonly connect the panel with reduced reflected sound in offices, studios, and home theaters.
Construction quality, appearance, and ease of installation form additional repeated patterns. In addition, included mounting brackets appear frequently in installation feedback.
Some feedback identifies the charcoal tone as darker than its image appearance. A broader guide to wall treatments for echo and reflection control covers related sound-absorption applications.
