EchoPanel® Meridian

Most acoustic panels are sold on a single NRC number and left at that. The EchoPanel Meridian gives a fuller picture, with sound absorption figures published across three mounting methods, direct fix, a 20mm air gap, and a 50mm air gap, so the actual acoustic outcome for a space in Adelaide can be planned against real data rather than an assumption. Moving from direct fix to a 50mm air gap lifts the noise reduction coefficient from 0.45 to 0.75, a genuine jump in performance from a mounting decision alone.

The panel face is defined by precision cut v-groove linework set at a 45 degree angle, giving it a more considered, architectural look than a flat acoustic panel. It's made from 100% PET, 80% of it post-consumer recycled, and is available in 12mm or 24mm thickness depending on the acoustic requirement of the project. Fire performance is documented across AS 1530.3, BS EN 13501.1, ISO 9705, ASTM E84, GB 8624, and BS EN 45545-2, giving specifiers a wide spread of compliance data to work from for different applications.

Creative Systems supplies, assembles, delivers and installs the EchoPanel Meridian across South Australia, with pricing that stays competitive against comparable acoustic panel systems on the market.

Common Questions:

Does mounting method actually change how well the panel absorbs sound?
Yes, significantly. The noise reduction coefficient rises from 0.45 with a direct fix mount to 0.75 with a 50mm air gap, so the mounting method should be chosen based on the acoustic outcome required, not just aesthetics.

What's the difference between the 12mm and 24mm thickness options?
Both share the same v-groove design, but thickness affects acoustic performance and application, with the right choice depending on the specific sound absorption requirements of the space. Confirm at time of quote which thickness suits the project.

Is the EchoPanel Meridian a sustainable choice for a commercial fitout?
Yes, it's made from 100% PET with 80% post-consumer recycled content, is carbon neutral, and holds a Global GreenTag GreenRATE Level A certification along with an Environmental Product Declaration.
