Veneer. Real Wood.
Classic. Natural. Luxurious. Sustainable. All SoundPly products are made with real wood veneer which is a timeless design element that enhances any room. Our Eureka! Innovation Award winning standards ensure the veneer is perfect in every location and used to its fullest potential. Wood remains the most sustainable building material due to its renewability and biodegradability over time. The enduring appeal increases the likelihood of reuse and extends the product lifecycle, contrasting sharply with the shorter usable life of plastic or faux wood alternatives. Choose from 700+ real wood species, slices, grades, and finishes for practically unlimited possibilities.
Patented SPCore™ Technology Choices
This technology is a combination of pressure and heat to fuse the outer layers to the inner core’s structural components. The result is a uniformly sealed, torsionally rigid, monocoque structure that is remarkably stronger, more stable, and weighs significantly less.
Baffles can be constructed with or without a septum. The core with a septum is two 1” panels glued together and the core without the septum is a 2” panel. When the baffle has a septum, it increases sound absorption and allows for hardware to be hidden.
RF Series: The glasswool core is predominantly made from recycled glass and includes a patented, environmentally friendly organic binder, emphasizing our commitment to sustainable production practices.
LR Series: The rockwool core incorporates upcycled slag from the aluminum industry, utilizing waste materials beneficially.

Don’t compromise aesthetics for acoustic treatment. Hide superior acoustic absorption in wood. SoundPly’s clean, microscopic perforations produce no discernible effect on the overall color or grain structure, unlike the grooved, slotted or perforated acoustic products produced by other manufacturers. At just an arm’s length the millions of tiny micro-perfections become visually imperceptible. We call it MicroPerfection. Unlock the designs of your dreams.
Standard Sizing
There are a variety of standardized sizes to suit the needs of different spaces and applications. The range of colors and finishes seamlessly integrate with any interior design. This standardization makes it easy to source, simple to install, and customizable to the unique acoustics of each space. Standard sizes offer an effective, aesthetically pleasing solution for optimizing the soundscape of a room. Custom sizes are available but will cost more and may take longer to manufacture.
