GIK Acoustics 242 FlexRange Acoustic Panel
An enthusiast-tier fabric-wrapped broadband absorber rated NRC 1.05, available from 2x2 up to 2x4 ft. It's aimed at first-reflection points where it clearly outperforms foam. For corner low-end control, pair it with GIK's 244 bass trap instead; this panel is built for broadband absorption, not deep bass.
