Ecophon Solo White Acoustic Panel Circle
Ecophon Solo White Acoustic Panel Circle is a frameless, free-hanging circular acoustic ceiling panel designed to reduce echo, reverberation and general noise build-up inside a room. It provides a clean architectural finish while improving acoustic comfort in offices, classrooms, meeting rooms, restaurants, studios, reception areas and modern commercial interiors.
This variable product is available in two circular sizes:
- 800mm Circle
- 1200mm Circle
Both options have a clean White Frost finish, Akutex™ FT surface and straight painted edges. The circular shape makes the panel ideal for design-led acoustic treatment, feature ceilings and spaces where a softer visual appearance is preferred over square or rectangular rafts.
What is the Ecophon Solo Circle used for?
Ecophon Solo Circle panels are used to improve room acoustics by absorbing sound energy. They help reduce echo, reverberation and harsh reflected sound, making spaces feel calmer, clearer and more comfortable.
They are especially useful in rooms with hard surfaces such as plasterboard, glass, concrete, timber flooring, exposed soffits or minimal soft furnishings.
How does the panel work?
The panel is suspended below the ceiling as a free-hanging acoustic absorber. Sound energy is absorbed by the panel surface, helping reduce reflections from ceilings, walls and other hard surfaces.
Because the panel hangs independently below the soffit or ceiling, it can improve acoustics without needing a full wall-to-wall suspended ceiling. This makes it useful where the ceiling needs to remain exposed, where room volume needs to be maintained, or where a decorative acoustic treatment is required.
What type of noise does it help with?
Ecophon Solo Circle is used for acoustic treatment, not structural soundproofing.
It is designed to help reduce:
- Echo
- Reverberation
- Room noise build-up
- Poor speech clarity
- Sound reflections from hard surfaces
- General acoustic discomfort in busy spaces
It will not stop noise travelling through walls, ceilings or floors. If you need to block sound transfer between rooms, you will usually need a separate soundproofing system with mass, isolation and airtight sealing.
Where can Ecophon Solo Circle panels be used?
These circular acoustic panels are suitable for a wide range of internal acoustic treatment applications, including:
- Offices and open-plan workspaces
- Meeting rooms and boardrooms
- Classrooms and education spaces
- Reception areas and waiting rooms
- Restaurants, cafés and hospitality spaces
- Studios and creative workspaces
- Home offices and media rooms
- Retail interiors
- Healthcare and wellbeing spaces
- Rooms with exposed ceilings or visible services
Why choose Ecophon Solo Circle?
Ecophon Solo Circle is a premium acoustic ceiling raft with a soft, modern circular design. The round format works especially well in design-led interiors where the acoustic panels need to look intentional, decorative and visually lighter than a standard suspended ceiling.
The 800mm option is ideal for smaller spaces, feature layouts and targeted acoustic treatment. The 1200mm option provides more acoustic coverage and stronger visual impact for larger rooms and open-plan areas.
Available diameter options
- 800mm Circle — compact circular panel for smaller rooms, targeted acoustic treatment and decorative layouts.
- 1200mm Circle — larger circular panel for greater acoustic coverage, open spaces and stronger ceiling design impact.

Helpful advice before buying
Ecophon Solo Circle panels are acoustic treatment panels. They improve the sound quality inside a room, but they do not soundproof the room from external noise or stop noise transferring through the building structure.
For best results, consider the room size, ceiling height, hard surface area, furniture, occupancy level and how the room is used. Larger or more reflective rooms may require multiple panels.
Suspension accessories may be sold separately depending on the product listing. Please check whether the required Ecophon Connect fixing kit, wire hangers, absorber anchors or brackets are included before installation.

Handling Advice
Store panels flat, clean, dry and protected before installation. Avoid impact damage to edges and faces.
Keep panels in their packaging until required. Handle with clean gloves to avoid marking the white Akutex™ FT surface.
How to Install Ecophon Solo White Acoustic Panel Circle
Ecophon Solo White Acoustic Panel Circle panels should be installed using the correct Ecophon Connect suspension accessories for the chosen panel diameter, ceiling type and project specification.
These panels are free-hanging acoustic absorbers. They must be securely suspended from a suitable ceiling or soffit structure and installed according to the relevant Ecophon installation diagram.
What You’ll Need
- Ecophon Solo White Acoustic Panel Circle
- Correct panel diameter: 800mm or 1200mm
- Compatible Ecophon Connect suspension kit or fixing accessories
- Connect Absorber anchors or brackets, where specified
- Connect Adjustable wire hangers, where specified
- Connect One-point fixing, where specified
- Suitable ceiling fixings for the substrate
- Tape measure
- Pencil or marker
- Laser level
- Drill/driver
- Suitable drill bits
- Step ladder, platform or access equipment
- Clean gloves
- Safety glasses
- Dust mask, if drilling overhead
Before You Start
Check the ceiling structure before installation. The ceiling or soffit must be suitable for the weight of the panel and the chosen suspension system.
Plan the panel position before drilling. Consider lighting, sprinklers, air conditioning grilles, smoke detectors, ceiling services, ceiling height and the visual alignment of the panel.
Check whether your order includes the required suspension accessories. Some Ecophon Solo panels are supplied as panel-only items, while fixing kits may need to be ordered separately.
Step 1: Choose the Panel Position
Decide where the panel will be suspended.
For acoustic performance, panels are often positioned above desks, meeting tables, seating areas, reception zones or other areas where people speak, work or gather.
For visual appearance, align the circular panel with room features such as lighting, ceiling beams, furniture layouts, reception desks or other acoustic panels.
Step 2: Choose the Correct Diameter
Select the correct panel diameter for the space.
The 800mm Circle is useful for smaller rooms, decorative layouts and targeted acoustic treatment.
The 1200mm Circle provides greater acoustic coverage and stronger visual impact, making it useful for meeting rooms, open-plan spaces and larger treatment areas.
Step 3: Check the Suspension Height
Decide the finished hanging height of the panel.
A lower suspension height can make the panel more visually prominent and may improve absorption within the occupied zone. A higher suspension height can create a cleaner ceiling appearance and help keep the room feeling open.
Make sure the panel does not interfere with doors, windows, lighting, ventilation, sprinklers or required head clearance.
Step 4: Mark the Fixing Points
Use the relevant Ecophon installation diagram for the Solo Circle panel to mark the ceiling fixing points.
Measure carefully and check the fixing positions before drilling. The fixing points must line up correctly with the suspension accessories and absorber anchors.
Use a laser level or accurate measuring method so the panel hangs straight and level.
Step 5: Install the Ceiling Fixings
Drill and install suitable ceiling fixings into the ceiling or soffit structure.
The fixing type must be suitable for the substrate. Common substrates include:
- Concrete soffits
- Timber joists
- Steel structure
- Suitable suspended ceiling support structure, where approved
Do not fix into weak plasterboard, loose materials or unsuitable ceiling finishes unless the system has been specifically designed for that substrate.
Step 6: Fit the Suspension Accessories
Install the Ecophon Connect suspension accessories according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Depending on the selected system, this may include adjustable wire hangers, absorber anchors, absorber brackets or a one-point fixing method.
Make sure all components are securely fitted before lifting the panel into position.
Step 7: Prepare the Panel
Carefully unpack the acoustic panel and inspect it before installation.
Check for:
- Damaged edges
- Marked or dirty faces
- Damaged circular profile
- Incorrect diameter
- Missing suspension components
Use clean gloves when handling the panel to avoid marking the white surface.
Step 8: Lift the Panel into Position
Lift the panel carefully into position and connect it to the suspension system.
The 800mm circle is generally easier to handle, but the 1200mm circle should be handled with extra care due to its larger size and weight.
Connect the panel to the suspension accessories according to the specified Ecophon installation method.
Step 9: Level the Panel
Use a laser level or spirit level to check the panel is hanging evenly.
Adjust the suspension wires or fixing points until the panel sits flat and level. Check the panel from multiple angles, especially if several panels are being installed in a pattern or cluster.
Step 10: Check Alignment with Other Panels
If installing multiple Ecophon Solo Circle panels, check the spacing and alignment across the room.
Make sure:
- Panel spacing is consistent
- Panels are at the same height unless a layered design is intended
- Panels do not clash with lighting or services
- The circular layout looks balanced from the main viewing angles
- The visual layout matches the design plan
Step 11: Final Safety Check
Before completing the installation, check that all fixings and suspension components are secure.
Confirm that:
- The ceiling substrate is suitable
- All fixings are fully engaged
- The panel is level
- The panel is not damaged
- Suspension wires, brackets or anchors are secure
- The panel does not interfere with services or safety systems
Do not leave panels partially fixed or temporarily suspended.
Installing the 800mm Circle
The 800mm Circle is suitable for smaller acoustic treatment zones, decorative ceiling layouts and areas where a subtle design feature is preferred.
Even though it is lighter than the larger circle, it must still be fixed into a suitable ceiling structure using the correct Ecophon suspension accessories.
Installing the 1200mm Circle
The 1200mm Circle provides more acoustic coverage and stronger visual impact.
Take care when lifting and levelling the larger panel. Use suitable access equipment and handle the painted edges carefully to avoid damage.
Installation Tips
- Check whether suspension accessories are included or sold separately before starting.
- Always use the correct Ecophon Connect fixing method for the panel diameter.
- Plan the layout around lights, sprinklers, air conditioning and ceiling services.
- Use a laser level for accurate alignment.
- Handle panels with clean gloves to avoid marking the white surface.
- Protect the painted circular edge during handling.
- Do not fix into weak or unsuitable ceiling materials.
- Keep spacing consistent when installing multiple panels.
- Do not cut or modify panels unless this is specifically approved for the product and project.
- Use these panels for acoustic treatment, not structural soundproofing.
Important Acoustic Note
Ecophon Solo Circle panels reduce reverberation and echo within the room they are installed in. They do not stop noise passing through walls, ceilings or floors.
For best acoustic results, use enough panel coverage for the room size and combine the panels with other acoustic treatments where required, such as wall panels, soft finishes or additional ceiling absorbers.
