RW Acoustics at High End 2017

Juljen Faganelj states:

We developed our products with different people around us. We incorporated with endusers like audiophiles, architects, audio designers and producers. We developed high resolution prints for our products. If you look at a photo or painting on your wall, why can’t this object have another function? So, that’s absorption.

Currently we have 3 series. Behind me you can see the professional series. They are primary dedicated to advanced users, like true audiophiles. On my left is the luxury series. Actually it’s the same product but with a solid wooden frame as addition. That way it’s easy to combine them with room furniture.

Our apologies for the background noise, but it was rather crowdy that day!

  • Absorption that hangs on the wall like art
  • Two series, one underlying design

Absorption that hangs on the wall like art

RW Acoustics’ core idea is straightforward: a room needs sound absorption anyway, so why not make the panel double as decoration? Each panel carries a high-resolution print — the kind of image you’d otherwise hang as a photograph or painting — while the panel itself absorbs unwanted reflections. It’s a practical answer to a common complaint from audiophiles and architects alike: that acoustic treatment tends to look purely functional, at the cost of the room’s appearance.

Two series, one underlying design

RW Acoustics organizes its range into a professional series, aimed at advanced users and true audiophiles, and a luxury series that adds a solid wooden frame so the panel integrates more easily with existing room furniture. Beyond the frame, the two series share the same underlying product — the choice comes down to how much the panel needs to blend into a domestic interior versus a dedicated listening or studio space.

Frequently asked questions

What makes RW Acoustics acoustic panels different from standard foam?

Each panel carries a high-resolution print, so it functions as both sound absorption and wall art — an alternative to acoustic treatment that’s designed purely for function rather than appearance.

What’s the difference between the professional and luxury series?

The professional series targets advanced users and true audiophiles. The luxury series is the same underlying product with a solid wooden frame added, making it easier to combine with existing room furniture.

Who is RW Acoustics aimed at?

RW Acoustics develops its panels together with end users such as audiophiles, architects, and audio designers and producers, aiming for acoustic treatment that fits a room’s design as much as its sound.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
