Mela Mute™ Acoustic Egg Crate Foam

Yes, the recommended panel to paint is the light grey foam, the least expensive option. Customers can paint it themselves in the field with a latex paint. If a Class A fire rating is important, painting the panel may compromise that rating. Mela Mute can also be pre-painted at the factory if maintaining that Class A fire rating matters.

The wedge shape is named after anechoic chambers, the echo-free rooms used for acoustic and RF testing, where this exact pyramidal wedge pattern lines the walls to absorb sound reflections from every angle. Outside true anechoic chambers, the same pattern works well in recording studios, broadcast booths, and other rooms where reflections need to be controlled across a wide range of angles.
