See? Acoustic treatment doesn’t have to look like a lab.
A colleague once noted as he first entered the Barn, “Big room, small problems.” And I agree—back when I worked in a spare bedroom many years ago, small room, big problems, it needed room treatment as sure as a clown needs makeup but here in the much bigger Barn, not so much.
I also like to look at the place I live in so I’ve never been a fan of hanging things all over my walls and ceilings that offer zero aesthetic appeal, acting like voids in the visual plane so to speak.
But as I hope you can see, the new Amplitude line from GIK Acoustics addresses these concerns nicely while purportedly doing their job to tame rooms with problems according to the company.
One way they’ve done accomplished this ear/eye appeal is with the new patented recessed plate technology. From the press release:
The Amplitude line delivers the same acoustic reliability GIK is known for and introduces its new patented recessed plate technology.
The new recessed plate sits flush with the frame, creating crisp lines and a sleeker profile compared with earlier hybrid diffusion products. The introduction of new patterns also gives the panels a contemporary edge, complementing both modern studio builds and high-end living spaces where visual impact is as important as sonic accuracy.
The new Amplitude line of acoustic treatment panels come in 20 fabric/color choices, 12 patterns, 5 wood finishes, and a total of 6 sizes to match most decor. Pricing starts at $79/acoustic panel, $119/bass trap panel, and $209/corner trap panels and you can get ’em direct from GIK Acsoutics.
Here’s the press release:
GIK Acoustics launches its new Amplitude line with patented recessed plate technology
Atlanta, GA – October 21, 2025 – GIK Acoustics has announced the launch of its Amplitude line, a new generation of acoustic treatment panels that combine GIK’s trusted performance with a bold, refined aesthetic. The Amplitude line delivers the same acoustic reliability GIK is known for and introduces its new patented recessed plate technology.
The new recessed plate sits flush with the frame, creating crisp lines and a sleeker profile compared with earlier hybrid diffusion products. The introduction of new patterns also gives the panels a contemporary edge, complementing both modern studio builds and high-end living spaces where visual impact is as important as sonic accuracy.
Replacing GIK’s long-running Alpha / Impression series, the Amplitude line consolidates years of customer feedback and design research into a single, streamlined family of products.
The collection includes:
- Amplitude Acoustic Panels – a versatile broadband solution combining absorption and diffusion in a slim format, starting at $79 / £129 / €119
- Amplitude Bass Trap Panels – engineered to target low-frequency build-up, improving definition in the critical sub-100Hz range, starting at $119 / £159 / €149
- Amplitude Corner Bass Traps – maximising efficiency where rooms need it most, delivering broadband control in corners, starting at $209 / £179 / €199
Each model is finished in premium Camira fabrics, widely regarded as the most acoustically transparent textiles available. Used by architects and designers worldwide, Camira offers durability, sustainability credentials and a refined visual quality which align with GIK’s commitment to creating products that perform to the highest acoustic standards.
Available in:
- 20 x Camira Cara fabrics/colours
- 12 x Patterns
- 5 x Finishes – Beech, Walnut, Grey Elm, Black, White
- Panels: 4 Sizes – Square, Narrow, Portrait, Rectangle

“Our mission with Amplitude was to take everything we’ve learned over the past two decades and push panel design forward,” says David Shevyn, Chief Product Officer, GIK Acoustics. “The recessed plate is not just an aesthetic choice; it also improves the acoustic behaviour of the panel significantly. The result is panels that look striking, but more importantly, give creators and listeners a room they can trust.”
