Professional acoustics. Custom art. Your studio, your sound.
Includes white-glove installation by OrangePiel craftsmen for recording and broadcast studios — first-reflection point calibration, ceiling cloud suspension on aircraft cable, broadband NRC 0.95 verification.
Printed acoustic panels for recording studios, podcast rooms, and home studios. Professional-grade sound absorption with custom artwork.
Recording studios specify NRC 0.95+ broadband absorption (250 to 7000 Hz) paired with diffusion to control flutter echo, standing waves, and early reflections without making the room sound dead. OrangePiel printed acoustic panels test at NRC 0.85 per ASTM C423 (ASTM International) in the standard 9 mm thickness and NRC 0.95 in the 25 mm broadband variant — the recording-studio specification. ASTM E84 Class A fire rating for commercial studio occupancy; NFPA 701 fabric compliance for theatrical and broadcast facilities. Custom-printed dye-sublimation at 1440 DPI on PVC-free acoustically transparent fabric — album art, channel branding, label identity, commissioned photography — without degrading NRC. Wall-mount panels for first-reflection points; ceiling clouds suspended on aircraft cable for live-room overhead absorption (the air gap doubles low-frequency absorption versus flush-mount); bass traps for corner build-up below 200 Hz. Single-panel widths to 144 inches; seamless acoustic murals to 16 feet for control-room back walls, live-room scrims, podcast-studio backdrops, and film-poster theater walls. UL GREENGUARD Gold certification supports LEED v4.1 EQc9. Printed roller shades on control-room glass add light control + secondary mid-band absorption when lowered, AATCC 16.3 UV-tested. Production 2 to 4 weeks from approved proof; free ground shipping all 50 states; manufactured in Richmond, Virginia since 2006.

Frequently Asked Questions
What NRC rating do your panels achieve?
Our acoustic panels achieve an NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) rating of 0.85, meaning they absorb 85% of mid-to-high frequency sound. This is an excellent rating for recording studio environments and meets the acoustic treatment standards recommended for professional music production, mixing, and podcast recording.
Can I print album art on acoustic panels?
Yes. Print any image on our acoustic panels — album covers, studio logos, artist photos, band artwork, or any custom design. Our dye sublimation printing process produces photographic-quality results with vivid, fade-resistant colors embedded directly into the acoustic fabric.
How many panels does a recording studio need?
Recording studios typically need 40-60% wall and ceiling coverage for professional-grade acoustic control. For a standard 10x12 foot room, this means approximately 80-130 square feet of panel coverage. Focus on first reflection points, the wall behind the listening position, and ceiling clouds above the mix position.
Can panels be mounted on the ceiling?
Yes. Ceiling-mounted panels, called acoustic clouds, are a critical treatment for recording studios. They address first reflections from the ceiling above the listening or recording position. Our panels come with ceiling mounting hardware and can be suspended at the optimal distance from the ceiling for maximum absorption.
Do you offer panels for podcast studio backdrops?
Yes. Many podcasters and YouTube creators use our custom printed panels as branded video backdrops. Print your show logo, channel branding, or a consistent visual identity on panels that absorb sound and look professional on camera. They solve both acoustic and visual needs for content creators.

What clients say.
“OrangePiel understood that our studio isn't a generic office — every wall is part of the creative brief. The printed acoustic panels calm our open-plan edit bays without deadening the room, and the large-format murals make each floor feel like a different chapter.”
“Our clients hear the difference before they see it. The printed acoustic treatments OrangePiel built actually improved our RT60 numbers while keeping the rooms photogenic enough to book sessions sight unseen.”
