Artnovion has added the Avalon Broad to its hybrid acoustic panel lineup, and the Artnovion Avalon Broad is a wall-mounted absorber-diffuser built for rooms where broadband sound control has to look as good as it performs. The Artnovion Avalon Broad combines a parametric wood slat pattern with a recycled PET acoustic core, giving listening rooms and media spaces a panel that tames reflections without resorting to flat, featureless foam.
Artnovion Avalon Broad: A Seamless Pattern That Shifts With the Room
The defining trait of the Artnovion Avalon Broad is its parametric surface: a continuous, wave-like pattern that flows across the wall and appears to shift as the viewing angle changes. When several panels are installed side by side, the individual modules merge into one uninterrupted 3D surface, adding a sense of movement and depth that reinforces the architectural character of the room rather than simply covering it up. It is a deliberate design choice from Artnovion, whose Portuguese-made panels are increasingly specified in high-end hi-fi rooms, home cinemas and even concert-hall-adjacent spaces precisely because they double as visual statements.
Hybrid Construction for Broadband Absorption and Diffusion
Underneath the veneer, the Avalon Broad is the result of dedicated research into how two materials behave acoustically when combined. Artnovion pairs a high-density recycled PET acoustic core with calibrated-cell acoustic foam and a natural wood veneer front, mounted on an HMDF structure. That combination lets the panel work as a hybrid absorber-diffuser, reducing reverberation time across a wide frequency range while the wood diffusion layer keeps the sound field balanced rather than overly dry. Artnovion rates the Avalon Broad at Acoustic Class C, with an absorption coefficient of 0.65 across a range of 315 Hz to 5,000 Hz, and lists flutter-echo control, reverberation-time reduction and improved speech intelligibility among its core purposes.
Two Heights, Ready-Made for Living Rooms and Media Rooms
The Artnovion Avalon Broad ships in two module heights sharing the same 595mm width: the Avalon K Broad, at 2,380mm tall, and the shorter Avalon XL Broad, at 1,785mm, aimed at rooms with lower ceilings. Both are offered with an integrated fixing system for a clean, gap-free installation, and both come in a wide range of finishes spanning natural wood veneers, lacquered wood in several RAL colours (including a custom RAL option), and ten suede fabric tones for buyers who want the diffusion pattern in a softer, upholstered look. Artnovion positions the Avalon Broad range for hi-fi listening rooms and living rooms in particular, where the goal is controlling flutter echo and excess reverberation without the room looking like a recording studio.
Design-wise, Artnovion offers several pre-configured layouts combining different module variants (I through VI) into repeating wall patterns, detailed in the brand’s dedicated configuration brochure, so installers and dealers can plan a wall of Avalon Broad panels without guessing at the spacing themselves. It joins other hybrid and slat-panel designs in the range, including the Artnovion Siena K Broad, as part of a growing family of panels that treat acoustics and interior design as one problem rather than two.
Pricing and Availability
As with most of the Artnovion acoustic panel catalogue, the Artnovion Avalon Broad is a made-to-order, project-based product: pricing depends on the chosen module height, finish and quantity, and is available through Artnovion’s dealer network on request rather than as a fixed retail price. Buyers can configure a finish directly on the Artnovion product page and request a quote, or consult the brand’s installation guide and technical file for planning a full wall treatment.
