Designer Crossroads Acoustic Panel - Obsidian

The TECHLITE® Designer Crossroads Acoustic Panel in Obsidian introduces a grid-inspired configuration that emphasizes intersection, structure, and spatial organization. Its crossing linear elements create architectural definition across wall and ceiling planes, offering architects and interior designers a disciplined yet visually compelling acoustic solution. For sound engineers, the dimensional relief and alternating planes enhance surface interaction, contributing to balanced absorption and improved room clarity.

Manufactured utilizing Basotect® Ecobalanced Melamine Foam, the Crossroads panel provides effective broadband sound absorption within a lightweight and stable form factor engineered for interior environments. The open-cell composition moderates reflected energy, supports speech intelligibility, and refines acoustic comfort in workplaces, hospitality settings, educational institutions, and collaborative interiors. The material is inherently flame resistant and achieves Class A fire-rated performance per ASTM E 84, ensuring compliance with stringent interior fire-safety standards.

In addition to performance and life-safety benefits, the TECHLITE® Designer Crossroads Acoustic Panel supports sustainable design objectives. Basotect® Ecobalanced Melamine Foam is produced using a reduced carbon footprint approach and may assist in achieving LEED-related credits, including low-emitting materials and responsible material sourcing. By integrating acoustic engineering, architectural structure, and environmental responsibility, this panel system supports comprehensive interior design strategies.

Obsidian Coloration & Visual Character Obsidian is a deep, dark charcoal acoustic foam with subtle blue undertones. Depending on lighting conditions, it can range from a rich charcoal gray to a dark navy hue—and when installed in high ceilings or low-light environments, it presents as visually black. The result is an acoustic material that integrates seamlessly into contemporary architecture while delivering the performance Techlite® is known for. For applications requiring an ultimate, rich black appearance, Obsidian panels may be coated utilizing Techlite®’s proprietary paint system.
