The Barracuda Acoustic Panels are an oversized and eye catching panel that are a part of the Advanced Acoustics Designer Range. These panels when clustered together give the impression of a school of fish or scales on a fish. By layering these acoustic panels you can add depth and dimension to a potentially flat and boring wall or ceiling. Barracuda refers to the barracuda fish, known for its large size and fearsome appearance, covered with smooth and shiny scales.
Because these panels are oversized you can quickly and easily cover a large area with these acoustic panels creating a random shape that can never be copied. These acoustic panels will help to drastically reduce reverberation and echo in any space they are installed in. The acoustic panels are made up of 25mm open cell acoustic foam which is mounted onto 6mm MDF and then wrapped in an open weave cloth. These panels are available in 60 different colours. By using shades of colours and colour groups you can create some truly outstanding shapes and turn acoustic treatment into a feature of the room and a talking point as opposed to something that looks like it was added later down the line as an afterthought.
The Barracuda Acoustic Panels are suitable for use in the commercial sector for acoustically treating offices, meeting rooms, teleconference rooms, videoconference rooms and boardrooms. They are also suitable for use in the education sector for treating classrooms, dining halls, assembly halls and lecture theatres. These acoustic panels will reduce reverberation and echo and thus improve speech intelligibility. Once the acoustic panels are installed you will have a space that is more comfortable to work or learn in resulting in greater productivity from your staff or students.
Our Barracuda Acoustic Panels are manufactured in the UK and are all made to order. We use hardwearing materials that will stand the test of time and also meet with stringent fire regulations so you can be sure that our products are safe for use. The cloth we have selected is a 100% recycled polyester which has a high abrasion resistance so even if the acoustic panels are to be placed in high traffic areas or in areas that will be subject to a lot of rubbing or being bumped into the cloth will not bobble or fade.

Performance Data
Our Acoustic Panels are very easy to install. They are supplied with Eyebolts to loop the suspension wire onto. The suspension wire and wire clamps are sold separately and are available on our website. We don’t supply the mounting hooks for the ceiling as the correct type to use depends on the ceiling construction. We recommend you use open hooks to ease installation. If you are uncertain which type of fixing to use we can advise you. Alternatively you can check with an experienced tradesman.
The technical sheet for this product will tell you how many eyebolts are used for suspending the panels, you will require the relevant amount of ceiling hooks, lengths of wire and wire clamps.
To calculate how much suspension wire you first need to ascertain the distance the panel will be suspended. Next add on 20cm to this distance to allow for the loop of the wire at the top and bottom. Next multiply this distance by the amount of eyebolt per panel. This is the amount of suspension wire you will need for each panel. For the wire clamps you will need double the amount of wire clamps by the amount of eyebolts, this will the amount of clamps you will need per panel.
Installation
Mark on the ceiling the correct location of the ceiling hooks and fit the hooks. Fix the eyebolts to the back of the panel. Attach the wire to the eyebolts creating the loops top and bottom to the required length. Hang the panel on the installed ceiling hooks. Repeat until all panels are fitted.
