Detail 01
2-inch thickness
Effective on mids and highs where echo and harshness live. Bass below roughly 250Hz mostly passes straight through.

Auralex2" SonoFlat 2'x2'x2" Panels 16-Pack - Charcoal
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sixteen 2x2-foot charcoal foam panels, 2 inches thick, for flat wall and ceiling surfaces. For treating first reflections in a mixing or recording room.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Killing slap echo on bare parallel walls
- Treating first-reflection points beside a mixing position
- Covering a ceiling cloud above a desk or drum kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass control — 2 inches is too thin for low frequencies
- Blocking sound between rooms or from neighbors
- Anyone wanting a fabric-wrapped look in a visible living space
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
2x2-foot panels
Four square feet each, so 16 panels cover 64 square feet — roughly two walls of a small room at partial density.
Detail 03
Flat panel shape
Sits flush against walls and ceilings, unlike wedge or corner shapes. Easier to lay out in grids or checkerboards.
Detail 04
16-panel quantity
Enough for first reflection points, a ceiling cloud, and the rear wall in a bedroom-sized room.
Detail 05
Foam material
Light enough to hang with adhesive or tabs; no wall anchors or framing needed. Also means it dents and tears if handled roughly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Adhesive and mounting hardware sold separately
- 02Panels ship compressed and take time to reach full 2-inch thickness
- 03Pair with corner traps — flat panels alone leave low end untreated
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How much wall will 16 panels cover?
64 square feet total. In a small room that handles first reflections on both side walls plus a ceiling cloud, spaced rather than solid.
02Will 2-inch foam fix my boomy room?
Not on its own. Two inches works on mids and highs. Boom comes from low frequencies, which need thicker corner traps.
03Can I mount these on the ceiling?
Yes, they are light enough. Use adhesive rated for overhead use, and consider mechanical backup since gravity works against foam over time.
04Do I need to cover the whole wall?
No. Spaced coverage at reflection points does most of the work. Full coverage makes a room sound dead and costs more.
