Acoustimac's DMD series is the company's best-selling panel and a sensible pick for an apartment room that sounds hollow. The panels are wrapped in Acoustimac's DMD mesh fabric, come in 1 and 2 inch thicknesses and can be ordered in custom sizes from 12 by 12 inches up to 96 by 48 inches in a wide range of colors. All finished panels are Class A fire rated, with test results posted for download, and an eco insulation fill is available on every panel. Acoustimac also puts a room coverage calculator on the page, which helps beginners avoid buying too few panels. The honest limit is the same as for any absorber: panels reduce echo and make speech clearer inside a room, but they do not stop a neighbor's sound from coming through a wall. Mounting usually needs a few small holes. From $26.35 per panel, they are the cheapest way on this list to treat echo with framed panels.
