Why Speaker Cloth in Your Favourite Shade Is a Game-Changer

Is your home the cosy haven you’ve always dreamed of – thoughtfully decorated, with every detail just so? Brilliant. A well-designed living space isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the foundation of comfort and wellbeing. After all, home is where we relax, recharge, and show off a bit of personality.

But for music lovers, pulling this off can feel like juggling plates. It’s not just about taste – there are practicalities to navigate too. Room acoustics, for one, often need a nudge in the right direction with absorbers and diffusers. Speakers demand the perfect positioning, standing proud to deliver peak audio performance. Meanwhile, turntables and amps cry out for AV furniture that’s both functional and visually appealing, offering storage and easy access without looking like you raided a 90s hi-fi store.

Off-the-shelf solutions? They’re decent up to a point. But when you’re after something truly bespoke, compromises creep in fast. Speaker grilles and AV furniture, for example, usually come in black, white, or grey. Fine if you’re going for “recording studio chic,” but not exactly ideal for a home that’s more hygge than hardware showroom.

For a polished home interior, AV furniture should blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic. The fabric’s colour is a key element in creating harmony.

The same issue pops up in retail or exhibition design. Carefully coordinated colours and textures create an atmosphere, but the magic is easily undone by clunky, visible sound equipment. It’s not exactly the look you want when you’re selling cutting-edge innovation or the season’s must-have trends.

Here’s where speaker cloth in a shade that ties the whole space together comes to the rescue. Whether it’s covering AV furniture, speaker grilles, or acoustic panels, the transformation is quick, simple, and stylish. Even three-dimensional diffusers can be hidden behind suspended ceilings or walls clad in acoustic fabric – a trick borrowed from professional studio designers who won’t sacrifice style for sound. Some of our more enthusiastic hi-fi customers have pulled off the same at home, transforming their spaces into acoustic sanctuaries without an absorber or diffusor in sight.

Enter bespoke printed acoustic cloth in any colour you fancy.  

This isn’t just any speaker cloth, mind. We’re talking premium Akustikstoff.com speaker fabric trusted by leading speaker manufacturers and used as their OEM equipment.

Preparation for printing Akustikstoff.com acoustic cloth in individual custom colours.
Printing Akustikstoff.com acoustic cloth in your dream colour opens up practically limitless design possibilities.

You can choose between water-repellent or non-flammable fabric, depending on your needs. And for public spaces, our material doesn’t just meet fire safety regulations – exceeding German DIN 4102 B1 and EN 13773, it surpasses them, acing standards like France’s notoriously strict NFP 92503 M1.

The direct sublimation printing process itself is worth a nod. With Oeko-Tex-certified inks, it delivers unparalleled vibrancy and accuracy that are simply out of reach with standard transfer sublimation methods. And unlike other traditional fabric printing methods such as flatbed or silk-screen printing, it doesn’t compromise sound transparency. It doesn’t clog the fabric’s pores or plaster the surface. Instead, the dye seeps into the fibres, keeping everything breathable. It’s eco-friendly too – no solvents, no wasteful transfer paper. For total peace of mind, we can even provide a colour proof on the original material before the main print run.

At Akustikstoff.com, custom-coloured speaker cloth is produced using direct sublimation printing - a printing process that is superior by far.
Direct sublimation printing ensures that Akustikstoff.com speaker cloth in custom colours comes in unbeatable colour quality.
