Square meters of acoustic panel to metric sabins

Type a value in m² panel to get it in m² sabin instantly.

90m² sabin

That's 1.13× as absorbent as a recording studio, while a concert hall is 8.9× more. In a 250 m³ room that gives a reverberation time of about 0.4472 seconds.

What it means

How much sound does it soak up?

Absorption is strongly frequency-dependent. A panel that absorbs 90% at 1 kHz may absorb 20% at 125 Hz, which is why bass is so hard to treat.

The math

How to convert m² panel to m² sabin

To convert square meters of acoustic panel to metric sabins, multiply by 0.9.

Example: 100 m² panel × 0.9 = 90 m² sabin.

In the other direction, 1 m² sabin = 1.11111 m² panel.
