Should acoustic panels be installed off-wall?

Yes—and doing so is crucial for improving acoustic performance.

Many people believe that acoustic panels should be directly attached to the wall when installing them. However, leaving a small air gap behind the panel can significantly improve low-frequency absorption and enhance overall acoustics.

🔍 Why Leaving an Air Gap is Beneficial

Installing acoustic panels slightly off-wall can:

✔ Enhance low-frequency absorption

✔ Improve overall sound absorption efficiency

✔ Improve indoor acoustics without requiring additional materials

✔ Maximize the performance of wood strips and PET acoustic panels

Even a 1-2 cm gap can make a significant difference.
