Why Acoustic Fabric Matters
With acoustic panels, the choice of fabric is crucial. Unlike standard textiles, acoustic fabric is specifically designed to be acoustically transparent, allowing sound waves to pass through with minimal resistance. This is essential for ensuring that sound reaches the absorptive material behind the fabric unimpeded, maximizing sound absorption and improving room acoustics.
In contrast, many standard fabrics, particularly those designed for upholstery or heavy drapery, have a high gas flow resistance—meaning they block air movement and reflect sound rather than allowing it to be absorbed. The functionality of acoustically transparent fabrics ensures that the fabric does not impede the sound-absorbing properties of bass traps, acoustic wall panels, and other acoustic treatment solutions.
While acoustic fabric allows sound to pass through efficiently, it is not the same as speaker grille cloth. Speaker grille cloth is engineered purely to be transparent to sound while providing no absorption properties. Acoustic panel fabric, on the other hand, does offer a minimal level of sound absorption. While this is insignificant when applied to acoustic panels, it makes the fabric unsuitable for speaker grilles, as it may alter the speaker’s frequency response. Understanding this distinction ensures that the correct acoustic materials are used for each application.
