Two Product Ranges

Grooved Slats & Perforated Panels

SoundaXe® offers two distinct panel types — both engineered for superior acoustic performance on walls and ceilings. Grooved slats deliver linear diffusion and absorption for auditoriums, theatres, and feature walls. Perforated panels provide uniform absorption for office ceilings, hotel lobbies, and open-plan commercial spaces.

Material Construction

3-Layer Panel Architecture

Every SoundaXe® panel consists of three engineered layers — base substrate, finish laminate, and acoustic fleece backing. This construction delivers structural rigidity, visual richness, and the sound-absorbing performance required for NRC >0.65 certification.

1
Finish Laminate
Wood veneer, HPL, or premium PVC laminate in 30+ shades. CNC-machined grooves or perforations on this face layer.
Top Face
2
Base Substrate
E1 MDF · FR MDF · HDF · HDHMR · 5-layer or 3-layer composite. Density 850–1000 kg/m³. Thickness: 12mm / 15mm / 18mm.
Core
3
Acoustic Fleece Backing
Black non-woven fleece bonded to the rear face. Sound waves pass through grooves/perforations and are absorbed by the fleece layer and the air cavity behind the panel.
Acoustic Layer
+
BassBloc® Substrate (Recommended)
Install BassBloc® foam or acoustic substrate behind the panel cavity for significantly enhanced NRC and low-frequency control. MMT Acoustix recommends for auditoriums, home theatres, and recording studios.

Installation System

H-Rail Clip System — Tool-Free Panel Exchange

SoundaXe® grooved panels install via a concealed H-Rail and Rotary Clip system — no visible fixings, no adhesive on the face. Panels can be removed and re-installed for maintenance or design updates. Full installation accessories supplied with every Chicago order.

01
Mark Placement & Install Wooden Battens

Mark panel layout on wall or ceiling, accounting for M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) positions, light fittings, and HVAC outlets. Fix wooden battens at ≤600mm centres perpendicular to panel direction. Install acoustic substrate (BassBloc® or foam) between battens before proceeding.

02
Fix H-Rail A01 onto Wooden Battens

Screw H-Rail (A01) onto wooden battens at regular intervals. The H-Rail provides the structural track into which rotary clips engage. Ensure rails are level using a spirit level — misaligned rails will cause panel waviness across large surfaces.

03
Fix Rotary Clips A02 and A03

Insert Rotary Clips A02 (front clip) and A03 (rear clip) into the H-Rail. These clips grip the tongue-and-groove edge of each SoundaXe® panel, holding it securely without face fixings. Space clips according to panel weight and length.

04
Slot Panels — Top to Bottom, Left to Right

Slot SoundaXe® panels into rotary clips from top to bottom and left to right. The tongue-and-groove joint system aligns adjacent panels seamlessly. For wood laminate finishes, match grain direction between panels for a continuous visual flow. Clean with compressed air and dry cloth to finish.

FAQs

SoundaXe® in Chicago — Common Questions

What is the difference between grooved slats and perforated panels?+
Grooved slats (Groove M series) have linear CNC-cut grooves running the length of the panel — sound passes through the grooves into the acoustic fleece and substrate behind. They are typically used as wall cladding in long planks (2440mm length). Perforated panels have a grid of holes cut through the panel face — available in large sheets (2440×1220mm) or ceiling tiles (595×595mm). Both deliver NRC >0.65. Grooved slats offer a linear, architectural wood appearance. Perforated panels offer a more uniform, subtle acoustic ceiling appearance.
Which base material should I choose for Chicago — MDF, HDF, or HDHMR?+
For standard interior applications in Chicago (offices, homes, hotels): E1 MDF is the most cost-effective and widely specified base. For high-humidity areas (bathrooms, spa areas, coastal properties): HDHMR (High Density High Moisture Resistant) is recommended. For fire-compliance-critical spaces (auditoriums, commercial buildings under Dubai Municipality regulations): FR MDF (Fire Retardant MDF) is specified, carrying EN 13501 Class B s1, d0 certification.
Do SoundaXe® panels meet Dubai Municipality fire safety requirements?+
Yes. SoundaXe® panels produced in FR MDF carry EN 13501-1 Class B s1, d0 fire rating — Class B is the second-highest Euroclass fire classification, with s1 (very low smoke) and d0 (no burning droplets). This rating meets the requirements of local building authority and project specification for commercial and institutional occupancies. Full fire test certificates and material data sheets are provided on request for project submission and authority approval.
Can the 595×595mm perforated tiles be used in standard suspended ceiling grids in Chicago?+
Yes. The 595×595mm perforated tile size is designed to drop into standard 600×600mm suspended ceiling grid systems (T-bar grid), which are the most common ceiling system in Chicago's commercial fit-outs. The panel drops into the grid the same way as standard mineral fibre tiles, replacing them with a premium wood finish and improved NRC >0.65 acoustic performance. Custom sizes can be produced for non-standard grid systems.
How long does delivery take to Chicago and what is the logistics process?+
Production and dispatch takes 7–10 business days from order confirmation. Aramex or DHL transit to Chicago takes 5–7 business days. Total: 12–14 business days. For large project quantities (FCL or LCL shipments), professional logistics are arranged to Port of Chicago (Great Lakes). UAE import duty on wooden acoustic panels (HS Code 4421.99) is typically applicable import duty, payable by the customer at port. Full shipping documentation, packing list, and material certificates are included with every shipment.
Can SoundaXe® panels be used on ceilings as well as walls?+
Yes — both grooved slats and perforated panels are regularly installed on ceilings. For grooved slats on ceilings, the H-Rail and rotary clip system provides secure mechanical fixing without relying on adhesive. For suspended or floating ceiling systems, custom aluminium carrier channels can be engineered. Weight of 15mm panels is approximately 11–13 kg/m² — suitable for standard suspended ceiling structures without additional reinforcement in most cases. Our technical team provides structural load calculations for Chicago projects on request.
Are custom patterns and dimensions available?+
Yes. MMT Acoustix operates 12 MultiCam 7000 Series CNC routers capable of machining any DXF or vector-format design file. Custom groove widths, perforation layouts, panel widths, lengths, and thicknesses can all be produced. Minimum order quantities apply for bespoke patterns. Custom finishes — including natural wood veneer, painted MDF, and specialist HPL laminates — are available in addition to the standard 30+ shade range. Send your design file or specification to MMT Acoustix for a quote within 24 hours.
