Acoustic Panels - Obsidian™

Techlite® Acoustic Panels in Obsidian™ are designed for architects, interior designers, and sound engineers seeking adaptable acoustic treatment across a wide range of interior environments. Manufactured from Basotect® Ecobalanced Melamine Foam, these panels provide consistent sound absorption while maintaining a clean, architectural presence suited for offices, studios, education spaces, and performance-driven interiors. Engineered for flexibility, these panels can be applied across walls and ceilings to address reflections, reverberation, and overall sound balance. For sound engineers, they support improved speech intelligibility and controlled acoustic response. For architects, they offer modular design opportunities that align with spatial planning and surface articulation. For interior designers, the Obsidian™ finish introduces a deep tonal element that enhances contrast, depth, and visual cohesion within modern interior schemes. In addition to acoustic performance, Techlite® Acoustic Panels contribute to sustainability-driven project objectives. Basotect® Ecobalanced Melamine Foam supports responsible material sourcing and may assist in achieving LEED-related goals, particularly within Indoor Environmental Quality and Materials & Resources categories. The panels are also Class A fire-rated per ASTM E84, ensuring they meet critical safety standards for interior applications. Obsidian™ Coloration & Visual Character Obsidian™ is a deep, dark charcoal acoustic foam with subtle blue undertones. Depending on lighting conditions, it can range from a rich charcoal gray to a dark navy hue—and when installed in high ceilings or low-light environments, it presents as visually black. The result is an acoustic material that integrates seamlessly into contemporary architecture while delivering the performance Techlite® is known for. For applications requiring an ultimate, rich black appearance, Obsidian panels may be coated utilizing Techlite®’s proprietary paint system.
