Connect Absorber Bracket is an Ecophon Connect suspension accessory used to install Ecophon Solo free-hanging acoustic panels closer to the ceiling or soffit. It is commonly used when a lower-profile acoustic panel installation is required, such as in rooms with limited ceiling height or where a neat, close-fitting finish is preferred.
The bracket is designed for use with compatible Ecophon Solo panels and Connect Absorber Anchors, helping create a secure ceiling-mounted fixing method for acoustic rafts and free-hanging absorber panels.
The Connect Absorber Bracket is used to suspend Ecophon Solo acoustic panels from a suitable ceiling or soffit structure. It is especially useful where the panel needs to sit closer to the ceiling compared with longer wire suspension systems.
It is commonly used with Ecophon Solo acoustic panels in offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, studios, reception areas, retail interiors, hospitality spaces and commercial acoustic treatment projects.
The bracket is fixed to the ceiling or soffit using suitable fixings for the structure. The Ecophon Solo panel is then connected using the appropriate Connect Absorber Anchor and bracket arrangement.
This creates a close-to-ceiling acoustic raft installation, helping keep the panel secure while maintaining a cleaner, lower-profile appearance.
Connect Absorber Brackets are most useful where you want the acoustic panel to sit close to the soffit rather than hanging down on long suspension wires.
Common uses include:
Connect Absorber Brackets are designed for use with suitable Ecophon Solo free-hanging acoustic panel systems.
They are commonly used with products such as:
Always check the installation diagram for your specific Ecophon Solo panel size and shape before ordering or installing.
Ecophon Solo panels can often be installed using different suspension methods.
A wire hanger system allows panels to be suspended lower from the ceiling and can be useful for visual design, angled layouts or layered acoustic treatments.
A Connect Absorber Bracket is used where a closer ceiling fit is preferred. This makes it suitable for lower ceilings or projects where a cleaner, more discreet installation is required.
Connect Absorber Brackets are fixing accessories, not acoustic panels. They do not absorb sound by themselves. They are used to install compatible Ecophon Solo acoustic panels.
Check whether your acoustic panel already includes the required fixings before ordering. Some Ecophon Solo panel kits may include suspension accessories, while replacement or additional brackets may need to be ordered separately.
Fixing requirements vary depending on the ceiling structure, panel size, panel weight and installation layout. Always use the correct Ecophon installation diagram and suitable ceiling fixings for the substrate.

Connect Absorber Brackets can be used in a range of acoustic panel installations, including:
Depending on the installation diagram and panel size, Connect Absorber Brackets may be used with:
Always confirm compatibility against the specific Ecophon installation diagram for the panel being installed.
Connect Absorber Bracket is not a universal fixing for all acoustic panels. It is intended for compatible Ecophon Solo systems and should be used only where the selected panel and installation method allow it.
It should normally be used with the appropriate Connect Absorber Anchor and suitable ceiling fixings.
The number of brackets required depends on the Ecophon Solo panel size, shape and installation diagram.
Some Ecophon Solo installation diagrams specify multiple brackets per panel. Larger panels may require more fixing points than smaller panels.
Always calculate bracket quantity from the official installation diagram for the exact panel being installed, allowing for waste, spare parts and project-specific requirements.
The ceiling or soffit fixing must be suitable for the panel weight, bracket arrangement and substrate.
Do not fix acoustic panels into weak plasterboard, loose materials or unsuitable ceiling finishes unless the fixing system has been specifically designed for that substrate.
For commercial, public, education or healthcare projects, the fixing method should be checked by a competent installer or project professional.
Connect Absorber Brackets should be installed according to the relevant Ecophon installation diagram for the specific Solo panel being fitted. The bracket is used as part of a low-profile suspension method for compatible Ecophon Solo free-hanging acoustic panels.
The exact fixing layout will depend on the panel shape, panel size, ceiling substrate and chosen Ecophon installation method.
Check that the Connect Absorber Bracket is the correct fixing method for your Ecophon Solo panel.
Before drilling, confirm:
Do not assume the same fixing layout applies to every Solo panel. Different panel shapes and sizes may use different fixing quantities and positions.
Inspect the ceiling or soffit where the panel will be installed.
The structure must be strong enough to support the acoustic panel, brackets, anchors and any additional load or safety margin required for the project.
Common substrates may include:
Do not fix into weak plasterboard, damaged ceilings, loose finishes or unknown substrates without confirming a safe fixing method.
Decide where the Ecophon Solo panel will be installed.
Consider:
The panel should not obstruct services, safety systems or required access routes.
Use the correct Ecophon installation diagram to mark the fixing points on the ceiling.
Measure carefully and double-check the spacing before drilling. Incorrect fixing positions can prevent the panel from hanging correctly or place uneven load on the brackets.
Use a laser level or accurate measuring method where multiple panels are being installed.
Drill the marked fixing points and install the appropriate ceiling fixings.
The fixing type must be suitable for the ceiling substrate and project loading. Fixings for concrete, timber and steel will be different.
Make sure each fixing is secure before connecting the bracket.
Attach the Connect Absorber Brackets to the ceiling fixings according to the installation diagram.
Check each bracket is:
Do not leave brackets partially fixed or unsupported.
Where specified, install the Connect Absorber Anchors into the Ecophon Solo panel.
Follow the panel-specific installation diagram for anchor positions, insertion method and depth.
Do not over-tighten or force the anchor in a way that could damage the acoustic panel.
Carefully lift the Ecophon Solo panel into position and connect it to the bracket and anchor system.
Use clean gloves to avoid marking the panel face. For larger panels, use two people and suitable access equipment.
Avoid bending the panel or damaging the painted edges during lifting.
Check the panel is sitting level and aligned correctly.
Adjust the installation where possible according to the bracket system and installation diagram.
For multiple panels, check:
Before finishing the installation, check every fixing point.
Confirm that:
Do not leave panels temporarily suspended or partially fixed.
Connect Absorber Brackets are part of an acoustic panel suspension system. The final safety and appearance of the installation depends on correct panel compatibility, bracket quantity, anchor positioning, ceiling fixings and workmanship.
For commercial or public spaces, use a competent installer and check the fixing method against the project specification before installation.
