Sonex® Classic foam is an extremely popular foam because of its design, acoustical effectiveness and economical price point. Sonex Classic Acoustic Foam features a modified anechoic wedge design for cost-effective and impressive sound control.
The unique geometric shape of the surface pattern on these panels provides optimum absorption and deflection of sound energy, making them an excellent choice for recording and broadcast studios. These versatile panels can also be used in listening rooms, restaurants, production areas and other locations where sound absorption is critically important.
Sonex Classic is available in natural melamine foam colors (natural white, natural grey), HPC coated colors, as well as in ColorTec charcoal (the entire thickness of the foam panel is dyed a deep black.) These panels can easily be mounted to any wall or ceiling surface with acouSTIC water-based adhesive.

We put the product up in the gym, which doubles as an auditorium. It has done a great job reducing the echo, although I suspect we need to put more panels up to reduce it further. We have also discovered that curious children's hands can easily damage these foam panels; we mounted them 6 ft off the floor (we are a K-8 girls' school, who thought they can reach that high?) but the damage is minimal, only at the bottom couple inches of a few panels.

While this product is nowhere as durable as the original product that we used for nearly 20 years, it does the job well.
