Mela Mute™ Acoustic Foam Egg Crate Baffles

Mela Mute Egg Crate Baffles are a great choice for absorbing sound in rooms with tall ceilings. Each Mela Mute Egg Crate Baffle absorbs 12.80 sabins when baffles hang 16" apart. A sabin is a unit of sound absorption. For full test data, check out our Egg Crate Baffle spec sheet.

The number depends on your application, the room size, how much echo you have, and the spacing between baffles. Our acoustic calculator gives you an estimate based on a traditional 16" spacing. You can also call us at 1-800-679-8511 and we will help you plan it.

Egg Crate Baffles come with 4 grommets pre-installed. You supply light-duty suspension cable, cable clamps, and a level. Loop the cable through the grommets on one side and close the loop with a cable clamp. Repeat on the other side. Then anchor the cable to the roof deck or ceiling structure and use the level for an even hang. See our Egg Crate Baffle install guide for every step.

Both are 24" x 48" (8 sq ft) baffles cut from the same Mela Mute melamine foam. Egg Crate Baffles are 3" thick and come with grommets already installed. Wave Baffles are 2" thick and hang from corkscrew hangers that come in the box. Egg Crate Baffles absorb more at 125 Hz and 250 Hz (4.17 and 6.50 sabins, compared with 1.00 and 5.40 for Wave Baffles). Wave Baffles absorb more at higher frequencies, reaching 24.00 sabins at 4000 Hz compared with 19.50.

Yes, you can paint Mela Mute Egg Crate Baffles. Light Grey is the best color to start with, and it costs the least. Use a latex paint. Field painting may affect the Class A fire rating. If that rating matters, we can custom paint the baffles to maintain it on large orders. Reach out for a quote.
