The CAT system was designed to give architects and interior designers the freedom to create aesthetically beautiful spaces while also extensively controlling sound, using the same decorative elements. Using a new, innovative absorption design, it’s a simple process to control sound with beautiful, flexible and economical acoustic panels, custom built to the client’s specific needs. The CAT system is the result of over 2 decades of research + experience, as well as input from musicians, producers, architects and interior designers.
The Revolutionary CAT System uses Custom Shaped Acoustic Treatment at standard prices. CAT panels are embedded with a new design motif using multi-density, multi-layered absorption for the maximum performance available in a traditional acoustic panel. Ultra-Thin, lightweight and flexible, CAT panels are available in hundreds of textiles and colors.
The CAT system process is simple. Choose how much square feet needs treatment, choose a textile, then choose a shape. Any and all custom polygons for the same price as a standard square or rectangular panel. All panels can be wrapped with one of hundreds of beautiful textiles and colors from Maharam, Knoll, Luna or Pallas.
