Vicoustic Wavewood Ultra Lite Absorber Panels

Vicoustic Wavewood Ultra Lite Absorber Panels for Wall or Ceiling Mount

Why is it that Wavewood has become such an emblematic flagship trademark design of Vicoustic panels? The lines that resemble the flow of sound impulses through an audio timeline have much more to be said about it than you might think.

Wavewood’s unique design was drawn to preserve the room’s acoustic ambiance on a perfect marriage between acoustic science and design. Its lines have become the industry standard, with more Wavewood panels installed in professional recording studios than any other acoustic panel, making it probably the most popular acoustic panel in the world.

Countless times imitated, the original Wavewood by Vicoustic distinguishes itself not only in aesthetics and acoustic performance but as well in the quality of the materials.

Absorption and Reflection Control System (ARCS)

ARCS (Absorption and Reflection Control System) that combines the best of both sound treatment worlds: absorption and diffusion, based on the MLS Algorithm.

Wavewood’s hybrid ARCS system acts as an absorber at medium frequencies and a diffuser at high frequencies to prevent specular reflections, allowing both medium and high frequencies to be perfectly controlled. This is ideal for those who are striving for a balanced sound that can also, simultaneously, control any noise energy in a room, and still manage and create a living and bright sound in a particular setting.

Maximum Length Sequence

MLS (Maximum Length Sequence) is a periodic pseudo-random binary sequence used in acoustic measurement systems. Since Schroeder, the MLS sequence has been used to study the behaviour of diffuser systems, due to its flat power spectrum at all frequencies. Once applied to a surface, MLS results in efficient scattering.

A maximum length sequence (MLS) is a type of pseudorandom binary sequence. They are bit sequences generated using maximal linear feedback shift registers and are so-called because they are periodic and reproduce every binary sequence, except the zero vector, that can be represented by the shift registers.

Practical applications for MLS include measuring impulse responses, such as the ones that can be studied for room reverberation.

Vicoustic experts have engineered to use these acoustic scientific elements to develop a high-performance technology that binds with visual designing at the heart of the brand’s soul. The result is the Wavewood landmark design that can be seen throughout Vicoustic’s extensive line of acoustic panels.

The Budget Solution to Balanced Sound

The classic Vicoustic’s flagship Wavewood continues its remarkable career in this Ultra Lite edition. Made with Standard MDF and melamine, a highly durable material, the Wavewood Ultra Lite panel is available in a number of different colours. Alongside this, the Wavewood uses acoustic polyurethane foam for absorption. Wavewood Ultra Lite is the budget line solution for updating this iconic absorber.

Our Review

The Vicoustic Wavewood Ultra Lite Absorber Panels bring the brand’s iconic design and acoustic know-how into a more accessible, lightweight form that still feels distinctly premium. With those unmistakable flowing lines that seem to trace the path of sound itself, the Wavewood Ultra Lite balances science and style in equal measure. Using Vicoustic’s clever ARCS (Absorption and Reflection Control System) technology, it smooths out midrange frequencies while scattering the highs just enough to keep the room lively rather than dead. Made from durable MDF, a tough HPL finish, and acoustic polyurethane foam, these panels are as practical as they are elegant. They deliver that signature Wavewood sound - clean, controlled, and natural - without the premium price tag, making them an easy upgrade for anyone who values both acoustics and aesthetics.
