Quick answer: Choose wooden panels for the highest absorption (NRC up to 0.90) and a paintable, design-led look. Choose velvet panels for studio-grade absorption (NRC up to 0.70) with a soft, luxury texture. Both are low maintenance.

When Wooden Panels Win

Pick wood when absorption matters most or when you want the panels to read as a design feature that can be color-matched to the room.

When Velvet Panels Win

Pick velvet when you want a plush, upscale finish in a studio, boardroom or premium residential space, with solid echo control.
