12" Cube Acoustic Foam Tile Pack

The Advanced Acoustics Cube 12" is a 57mm open-cell polyurethane acoustic foam tile in a precision CNC-cut cube profile, measuring 305 × 305mm. The tile achieves NRC 0.75 (Sound Absorption Class C), providing effective broadband absorption across the mid and high frequency range. Each pack contains 12 tiles, covering 1.11m² (12ft²) of wall or ceiling surface.

The 57mm cube profile sits in the mid-upper tier of the Advanced Acoustics 12" range — above the 40mm entry-level profiles in both depth and performance, and below the Class B tiles. Absorption is strong from 500Hz upward and increases toward the higher frequencies: 0.45 at 250Hz, 0.79 at 500Hz, 0.80 at 1kHz, 0.96 at 2kHz, and 1.19 at 4kHz — with particularly strong performance at 2kHz and above.

The cube profile produces a bold, geometric grid pattern when installed, creating a structured, architectural wall surface that is visually distinct from wedge and pyramid profiles. Available in Mid Grey and Dark Grey. Manufactured in the UK.

Applications

Recording studios and home studios — mid-upper performance treatment.
For studios where entry-level 40mm tiles have proved insufficient and Class B performance is not required, the Cube 12" provides a meaningful step up in both depth and NRC. The 0.79 at 500Hz addresses lower-mid frequency reverberation more effectively than thinner profiles, while the strong performance from 2kHz upward controls the high-frequency flutter echo that is the primary acoustic problem in untreated recording environments. Install on the primary reflection points — side walls, rear wall, and ceiling. Use the Coverage Calculator tab to determine the number of packs required.

Vocal booths and isolation rooms.
The Cube 12" provides strong absorption across the full vocal recording range — 0.80 at 1kHz through to 1.19 at 4kHz — reducing the coloration introduced by room reflections and producing a cleaner vocal capture. The 57mm depth delivers better low-mid absorption than standard 40mm tiles, helping to control the low-frequency build-up common in small booths. The geometric cube profile suits vocal booth installations where a distinctive, structured wall finish is preferred.

Podcast studios and broadcast environments.
The strong high-frequency absorption of the Cube 12" — 0.96 at 2kHz and 1.19 at 4kHz — targets the frequencies most responsible for the harsh, reflective quality of untreated podcast and broadcast spaces. The 0.79 at 500Hz adds lower-mid control that benefits voice clarity at the microphone position. The 12-tile pack covering 1.11m² suits targeted treatment of the recording position wall.

Product Benefits

NRC 0.75 / Sound Absorption Class C — strong high-frequency absorption.
The 57mm cube foam core achieves NRC 0.75 (Class C), with a notably strong high-frequency response: 0.96 at 2000Hz and 1.19 at 4000Hz. Mid-frequency absorption is 0.79 at 500Hz and 0.80 at 1000Hz, with low-frequency absorption of 0.45 at 250Hz. The high-frequency profile makes the Cube 12" particularly effective at controlling the bright, reflective quality of untreated rooms. For Class B broadband performance, the Tegular 12" (NRC 0.95) or Baby HexaTile 12" (NRC 0.95) are the appropriate alternatives.

Cube profile — bold geometric grid, CNC cut for consistent dimensions.
The cube profile produces a structured, grid-like pattern across the wall surface when tiles are installed edge to edge — visually distinct from wedge, pyramid, and wave profiles. Each tile is CNC cut to consistent dimensions, ensuring clean alignment across the installation. The geometric format suits professional and home studio environments where a modern, architectural aesthetic is preferred.

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). 12 tiles per pack, 1.11m² (12ft²) coverage. Mid Grey and Dark Grey. Manufactured in the UK and shipped uncompressed.

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.

Notes: For Control Rooms it is vital that the wall that has the control desk placed on it is entered as the Room Width even if this is the longest wall. Available Corners refers to the amount of wall to wall corners that are available for bass traps. There must be at least 350mm of free space on either wall for it to qualify.

Installing our acoustic foam tiles is very simple. The first step to take is to work out your preferred layout of acoustic tiles. Do a sketch on paper first to make sure that the layout looks right and you have enough acoustic foam and space for your planned design. It is best to have small to medium sized clusters of acoustic foam tiles evenly distributed as opposed to one huge cluster of tiles in the middle of a wall.

Once the acoustic tiles are mounted to the wall or ceiling they are hard to remove so it is important to get the layout right before you begin. Once you have a sketch of the layout you plan you can then mark up the wall with the layout. You can either use pencil, masking tape or lasers to layout the design on the wall or ceiling.

When mounting the acoustic tiles to the wall apply Advanced Acoustics Contact Adhesive to both the back of the tile and the mounting surface. There is no need to heavily cover the acoustic foam or wall with adhesive, a band of adhesive around the perimeter of the tile along with 50% - 75% coverage of the rest of the tile will be fine. Use the same equivalent amount on the wall. Avoid overspray on the tile and the wall so that adhesive can’t be seen when the tiles are in place. Masking Tape on the wall will help with this. If you do get webbing overspray on the tile, don’t touch it, allow it to dry, in most cases you will be able to peel the adhesive off.

The adhesive we supply is solvent based so we recommend that you keep all doors of the room and any windows open whilst completing the installation.

If you prefer to have a more temporary installation of acoustic tiles you can mount the tiles onto 6mm MDF or ply to create panels of acoustic tiles. These panels can then be hung on the wall using a D-Ring and picture hook for a damage free installation. If fitting them to a ceiling then 4 mirror plates would be required.
