As a leading specialist in sound-transparent textiles, we are known for continuous innovation in the field of high-quality loudspeaker fabrics. Today we are introducing another ground-breaking development: the option to print your customised photos and images on our fabrics.

We have been continuously developing our extensive range of high-quality products for many years: our standard fabric has been joined by the water-repellent 2.0 fabric and the flame-retardant, M1-certified FR fabric, while the range of available colours has grown to 42.

This selection of colours and fabric qualities alone makes it possible to create exceptionally individual designs for speakers, AV furniture, absorbers, ceiling sails, recording studio equipment, home cinemas and many other applications.

However, we will soon be taking individual design options to a whole new level: by customising the fabrics, you can incorporate your style, personality and creativity into the design of your speakers and audio environments in a unique way. The possibilities are almost endless - in the hi-fi and high-end sector as well as in furniture construction, exhibition stand construction

A few years ago, I was in Malta at this time of year. One day I visited the Gaia Foundation and their Peace Grove above Għajn Tuffieħa Bay. It was a windy day, and the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard all around, while the bright, already somewhat warm sun made everything feel more alive. I noticed several beautiful olive trees standing in the midst of all the greenery. The vibrant green hue of the leaves caught my attention, and I couldn’t help but think how great this colour would look in our acoustic fabrics.

And now, it gives me great pleasure to announce the introduction of the new colour Olive to our extensive range of standard colours for acoustic fabrics. Olive is a warm, inviting colour that exudes a sense of calmness and serenity while adding new, spring-fresh Mediterranean accents.

Stage performers such as musicians, cabaret artists, readers, and lecturers are usually confronted with a fundamental question before any live performance: Will the PA system provided on site meet the requirements? At the end of the day, the PA system is key to the success of a live event – even in the long run. Poor sound prevents the proverbial spark from striking during the performance, no matter how hard an artist tries on stage. Much more serious, however, is the fact that audiences usually blame poor live sound on the artists themselves, which means that inadequate PA systems can be a real career obstacle.

To minimise this risk, most performing artists rely on a so-called tech rider, a contract addendum that specifies the required features and performance data of the PA system and the lighting equipment. But in daily practice, even precise specifications in a tech rider do not protect artists from unpleasant surprises, and hardly any artist will cancel a sho

The white-bellied frog (geocrinia alba) is an extremely tiny species that only lives in an equally tiny area. Scientists have found that total area the extremely endangered frogs occupy is less than 2 square kilometres of swampy patches in the Margaret River region in southwest Western Australia. Such an endemic species naturally attracts the interest of scientists. 

Biologists at the University of Western Australia wanted to record the frogs’ distinctive noises to to gain further insight into the behaviour of the animals. But in a wet environment, this poses particular challenges. So they got in Touch with Soundlabs Group in Mittagong, Australia, our distribution partner for the Asia / Pacific region.

Is your order from our online shop already on its way to you? If so, you will have received a shipment notification email with a tracking number. Use this number to actively track your shipment. It’s worth the effort.

Now and then we receive emails and calls from customers who report problems with the delivery of their shipment and ask us for help. Apart from a few exceptions, however, there is very little we can do in such cases. The parcel services’ operations are completely beyond our control, especially outside Germany. Nevertheless, there are several things you can do in advance to avoid much of the typical hassle with parcel services. 

This article illustrates how to set the course for the smooth delivery of your order. Let’s start with a look at what causes the vast majority of problems, because, as always, understanding the origin of problems makes it easier to avoid them right from the outset.

Are you still expecting several delivery attempts to be made before a shipment is considered undeliverable and returned to the sender? Well, time to say farewell to t

The new year begins with extremely good news for private customers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein who have not previously been able to be supplied by Speaker Cloth.com: From now on, all our fabrics are available for them and can be ordered directly online at www.akustikstoff.ch.

Behind Speaker Cloth.ch is our long-standing business partner Reto Campell in Kirchdorf. Reto has been in the audio business for almost 40 years and has built up an excellent reputation, particularly in the car audio sector. It was not for nothing that his company "Soundgarage" was responsible at the time for the acoustic equipment of the "Clio Swiss Champion", which was specially launched by Renault for Switzerland. As early as the 1990s, Soundgarage was the largest Swiss importer of products from the renowned manufacturers

End customers outside Germany can still benefit from the favourable German VAT rate until 30 June 2020. So stock up on Speaker Cloth quickly!

On 1 July, a new regulation for cross-border sales to end customers will come into force throughout the EU. As a result, we will no longer be able to supply our Speaker Cloth to private customers at the favourable German VAT rate of 19%, but will have to charge VAT at the rate applicable in the destination country and pay it to the destination countries via an Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS). However, as VAT is higher in the vast majority of EU countries (with Hungary leading the way at a whopping 27%), prices will inevitably change accordingly depending on the destination country.

It is therefore worth seizing the opportunity and ordering speaker fabric quickly from our online shop.

Nothing is more pleasing than satisfied customers – and we’re especially pleased when we exceed our customers‘ expectations. We did so again, this time with our Metallic-Line speaker fabric , which will now even appear on British television. A few days ago, we received a message from Paul Golledge, who lives with his partner Emma Newton-Gunn in the Château de Montvason, a lovely castle in Normandy. The couple is among the protagonists of the British Channel 4 series „Escape to the Chateau DIY„.

You’re not one hundred percent sure which of our 42 standard colours best suits your project? You don’t trust the colour reproduction of your computer screen because you know about the pitfalls of colour reproduction within digital systems that are not consistently calibrated? Or you’d like to receive speaker fabric samples in order to get a hands-on impression of our various types of acoustic cloth before you place an order? 

It always makes sense to take a close look at the original product before making a purchase decision. But this doesn’t always require a complete sample set. That’s why we’ve decided to provide the opportunity to order individual samples directly in our online shop. 

Choose up to 15 different speaker fabric samples 

Select up to 15 different speaker cloth samples of your choice. Combine different fabrics, such as standard, 2.0 and FR, and different colours according to your particular requirements. This opportunity is the perfect basis for an informed decision. 

The number of complex ultrasonic applications is increasing. The range extends from distance measurement and the identification of obstacles to non-destructive material testing with phased arrays for air-coupled ultrasound. So-called 3D-printed waveguides are currently being developed for such technically complex applications. So far, adequate protection of the equipment against water and dust has been a problem, however, as many practical applications require the equipment to function even under extremely demanding environmental conditions. 

The Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany has now addressed this problem in a research project and carried out tests with our liquid and dirt-repellent Acoustic Cloth 2.0, among other things. The results presented by Professor Mario Kupnik’s research team in September 2020 during the 2020 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS) in Las Vegas* demonstrate the high suitability of acoustic material 2.0 for protecting waveguides
