DETERMINE YOUR LAYOUT

   Plan the layout of your panels, measuring the available area and panel sizes before you begin. There should be a 1/4"

gap in between each panel edge and a 1/2" clearance gap is required above the top of the highest panel for proper

installation. For best sound absorption results, place the panels directly behind your desk or work table, at the height of

your head.
