Advanced Acoustics 30" x 30" 3" S.E.A.M. Acoustic Studio Foam Tile Pack
The Advanced Acoustics S.E.A.M. 3" is a 75mm open-cell polyurethane acoustic foam tile with a plain face and 45-degree bevel cut on all four sides, measuring 762mm × 762mm (30" × 30"). The tile achieves NRC 0.95 (Sound Absorption Class A), providing high-performance broadband absorption across the mid and high frequency range with strong low-mid performance. Each pack contains 6 tiles, covering 3.48m² (37.5sqft) of wall or ceiling surface.
Absorption: 0.73 at 250Hz, 0.98 at 500Hz, 1.05 at 1kHz, 1.13 at 2kHz, and 1.13 at 4kHz. The additional depth over the 2" version moves the panel up to Sound Absorption Class A as a result of the improved low-frequency performance — 0.73 at 250Hz versus 0.51 for the 2". The bevel cut on all four sides produces a defined joint line between tiles; tiles can be installed in square or diamond orientations as well as layered for increased performance. Available in Mid Grey and Dark Grey. Manufactured in the UK.
Applications
Professional recording studios and control rooms — Class A broadband treatment.
The S.E.A.M. 3" at NRC 0.95 (Class A) provides comprehensive broadband absorption across the full mid and high frequency range, with the 0.73 at 250Hz delivering strong low-mid frequency performance. The 30" × 30" format covers significant wall area per tile, making it efficient for treating the larger wall surfaces of professional studio and control room environments. Install on primary reflection points and extend coverage as required. Use the Coverage Calculator to determine the number of packs required.
Rehearsal rooms and live rooms — low-mid frequency control.
The 75mm depth's stronger absorption at 250Hz addresses the low-mid frequency energy that contributes to muddiness in musical performance, reducing reverberation time and improving clarity for musicians. The 30" × 30" format and 3.48m² coverage per pack suit the larger wall areas typical of rehearsal and live room environments.
Vocal booths and isolation rooms — comprehensive vocal range treatment.
The 75mm depth provides absorption across the full vocal frequency range, from the 0.73 at 250Hz low-mid performance through to the 1.13 at 4kHz high-frequency performance. The comprehensive frequency coverage helps control the low-frequency build-up common in small enclosed spaces while delivering clean vocal capture across the fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
Product Benefits
NRC 0.95 / Sound Absorption Class A — strong broadband absorption with Class A low-frequency performance.
The 75mm foam core achieves NRC 0.95 (Class A), with absorption of 0.73 at 250Hz, 0.98 at 500Hz, 1.05 at 1000Hz, 1.13 at 2000Hz, and 1.13 at 4000Hz. The 0.73 at 250Hz delivers strong low-mid frequency absorption — an improvement over the 2" version (0.51 at 250Hz) — which moves the panel up to Class A. The 3" is the appropriate specification where low-mid frequency absorption is part of the acoustic requirement alongside mid and high frequency control.
Bevel-cut profile — seamless joint, square or diamond layout.
The 45-degree bevel cut on all four sides produces a defined joint line between tiles when installed edge to edge. The square 30" × 30" format can be installed in square or diamond orientations to suit the room design. Consistent CNC-cut dimensions ensure accurate alignment without adjustment during installation.
Specification and compliance.
30kg/m³ foam density. Crib 5 and Schedule 1, Part 1 of the Furnishings and Furniture (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 (amended 1989). Tile size 762mm × 762mm × 75mm (30" × 30" × 3"). 6 tiles per pack, 3.48m² (37.5sqft) coverage. Mid Grey and Dark Grey. Manufactured in the UK and shipped uncompressed from stock.
Installation
Plan the tile layout before beginning installation. Sketch the intended pattern on paper and mark the layout on the wall or ceiling surface using pencil, masking tape, or a laser level. Distribute tiles evenly across the treatment area rather than concentrating them in a single large cluster; even distribution provides more consistent absorption coverage across the room.
Apply Advanced Acoustics Contact Adhesive to both the back of the tile and the mounting surface. Apply a band of adhesive around the perimeter of the tile and 50–75% coverage of the remaining surface area; repeat the equivalent coverage on the wall. Allow the adhesive to become touch-dry before bringing the surfaces together — contact adhesive bonds on contact, so position the tile carefully before pressing it to the wall. Avoid overspray onto the tile face or surrounding wall surface; use masking tape on the wall to protect adjacent areas. If adhesive webbing contacts the tile face, allow it to dry fully before attempting to remove it — in most cases it can be peeled away cleanly once dry. The adhesive is solvent-based. Ensure adequate ventilation throughout the installation — keep doors and windows open.
For a temporary or demountable installation, mount tiles onto 6mm MDF or plywood sheet to create panels, then hang the panels using D-rings and picture hooks. For ceiling-mounted panels, use four mirror plates per panel. This approach allows panels to be removed and repositioned without damage to the wall or ceiling surface.
