Cloud9 80cm Wall Mounted Designer Acoustic Panel

Cloud9 80cm Wall Mounted Designer Acoustic Panel | 800mm diameter | NRC 0.75 | Class C

The Advanced Acoustics Cloud9 80cm Wall Mounted Designer Acoustic Panel is a circular acoustic panel from the Advanced Acoustics Designer Range. The circular format provides a soft, organic contrast to rectangular wall surfaces and rectilinear interior schemes, and is designed to be used as a standalone statement panel or in multi-size clusters combining the 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm Cloud9 formats. The panel consists of a 25mm open-cell acoustic foam core mounted on a rigid 6mm MDF backing board, wrapped in a 100% recycled open-weave polyester cloth available in 31 colours.

The Cloud9 80cm has a diameter of 800mm, providing 0.50m² of absorption per panel. The mid-size format sits between the compact 60cm and the large-format 100cm, making it the most versatile Cloud9 size for standalone installations and the anchor panel in mixed-size cluster arrangements. The 25mm foam core achieves NRC 0.75 (Sound Absorption Class C), providing effective absorption of mid and high frequencies appropriate for controlling speech-frequency reverberation in office and commercial environments.

Applications

• Standalone statement panels. The 80cm diameter is large enough to function as a standalone acoustic feature on a wall surface, providing 0.50m² of absorption per panel without requiring a cluster arrangement. A single 80cm Cloud9 panel makes an immediate visual impact while delivering meaningful acoustic absorption in smaller rooms and breakout spaces.
• Mixed-size Cloud9 cluster arrangements. The 80cm panel is the natural anchor format in mixed-size Cloud9 clusters, combining with 60cm panels to fill gaps and 100cm panels to create scale variation. Composed clusters of 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm panels across a wall surface create organic, asymmetric arrangements that scale from a small accent installation to a full feature wall.
• Open-plan offices — reverberation and echo control. Install on walls to reduce reverberation time and improve speech intelligibility. The circular format integrates naturally into contemporary office interiors, providing acoustic absorption without the utilitarian appearance of standard rectangular panel grids.
• Meeting rooms and conference spaces. The 80cm format is well suited to meeting rooms where a small number of panels can provide the required absorption coverage. One or two 80cm panels on a wall surface can deliver meaningful reverberation reduction in smaller enclosed rooms.
• Hospitality and commercial interiors. The Cloud9's circular format and soft profile make it suited to hospitality environments — restaurants, bars, and hotel lobbies — where acoustic treatment is required alongside a designed interior finish. The 80cm diameter provides a bold visual presence without the scale of the 100cm format.

Product Benefits

• NRC 0.75 — effective mid and high frequency absorption. The 25mm foam core achieves NRC 0.75 (Sound Absorption Class C), with strong absorption from 500Hz upward: 0.65 at 500Hz, 0.94 at 1000Hz, 1.13 at 2000Hz, and 0.99 at 4000Hz. This frequency profile makes the Cloud9 effective for controlling speech-frequency reverberation in office and commercial environments. Low-frequency absorption is more limited (0.30 at 250Hz).
• Class '0' fire-rated construction — compliant for commercial use. The acoustic foam core is Class '0' rated to BS 476 Parts 6 and 7, and C s1, d0 to EN 13501-1, meeting commercial fire safety requirements for wall-mounted acoustic treatment in offices, schools, and public buildings.
• 100% recycled open-weave polyester cloth — 31 colour options. The open-weave polyester cloth is produced from 100% recycled fibre, maintaining full acoustic transparency while providing a durable, abrasion-resistant surface finish. Available in 31 colours — download the swatch card for the full range.
• Mirror plate fixing — discreet and secure. Supplied with mirror plate fixing hardware for a flush, secure wall mount. The discreet fixing method keeps the panel face clean and uninterrupted, maintaining the visual integrity of the circular profile.
• 80cm diameter — mid-size format, suited to standalone and mixed-size installations. At 800mm diameter and 0.50m² per panel, the 80cm is the mid-size format in the Cloud9 range — large enough to function as a standalone statement panel and versatile enough to anchor mixed-size cluster arrangements with the 60cm and 100cm formats.
• Handmade in the UK — consistent quality across every panel. All Designer Range panels are handmade in the Advanced Acoustics UK facility using consistent materials and construction methods, ensuring uniform acoustic performance and finish quality across every panel in an installation.

Please note: All Designer Range panels are made to order with a 2–3 week lead time.

Installation

Mark the fixing position on the wall using the panel diameter as a guide. Ensure fixing positions are located on solid wall structure or appropriate noggins — do not fix into plasterboard alone without appropriate cavity fixings.

For mirror plate fixing: screw the mirror plate to the wall at the marked position using appropriate fixings for the wall construction, and hang the panel on the mirror plate. Check that the panel is level before finalising the fixing position.

For cluster arrangements combining multiple Cloud9 sizes, plan the composition on paper or digitally before marking fixing positions on the wall. Use a tape measure to set out the centre points of each panel accurately before drilling.
