Detail 01
2 inches thick
Effective on mids and highs. Below roughly 250Hz it does little, so boom and rumble stay untouched.

Auralex2" Studiofoam Wedge 2'x2'x2" Panels 12-Pack - Purple
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Twelve 2'x2' wedge foam panels covering 48 square feet. The entry point for controlling reflections in a small recording space.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small rooms where 2'x2' squares fit around windows and doors
- Adding treatment gradually rather than committing to a full room
- Desk-side and mic-position first reflection points
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Low-end control — 2" foam barely touches bass frequencies
- Blocking sound from reaching other rooms
- Large rooms; 48 sq ft covers only a few key spots
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
2' x 2' panels
Small squares work around obstacles and let you build checkerboard patterns. More seams than 2'x4' for the same area.
Detail 03
48 sq ft coverage
Covers side-wall reflection points and a bit of rear wall in a small room. Not a full-room solution.
Detail 04
Wedge cut
Angled surface gives a directional scatter. Rotating alternate panels 90 degrees evens out the reflection pattern.
Detail 05
12 panels per box
Enough pieces to cover both side reflection points plus behind the mic with panels left over.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Adhesive sold separately — Foamtak or Tubetak, not included
- 02Panels arrive compressed; give them 24 hours to regain full thickness
- 03Foam alone leaves bass problems. Corners still need thicker traps
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 2 inch thick enough?
For taming echo, harsh reflections, and improving vocal recordings, yes. For controlling bass buildup in corners, no — that needs thicker absorption or dedicated traps.
02How do I stick these to the wall?
Auralex recommends their Foamtak spray or Tubetak adhesive, which are sold separately. Adhesive can pull paint on removal, so consider mounting to boards instead.
03Where should I put the panels first?
The points where sound bounces off side walls into your listening or mic position, then the wall behind the mic. Ceiling above the desk comes next.
04Wedge or pyramid — does it matter?
Not much. At the same thickness they absorb about the same. Placement and how much total surface you cover matter far more than the cut pattern.
