Specialist Acoustic Panel System by Ace Acoustics (UK)
Whisper Pinboard Acoustic Panels
The 23mm demountable Whisper Pinboard panel is Ace Acoustics' principal Whisper Pinboard configuration, combining sound absorption with a pin-receptive, fabric-faced surface for offices, schools and shared workspaces that need to control reverberation while retaining a usable pinboard surface. For bespoke requirements, Ace Acoustics also engineers custom, site-fabricated Whisper Walls® configurations tailored to the specific dimensions and performance demands of the space.
Product Overview
Sound Absorption Meets a Usable Pinboard Surface
The standard Whisper Pinboard product is a 23mm demountable panel system, engineered to deliver reliable sound absorption alongside a genuinely usable, pin-receptive wall surface. Its demountable construction allows panels to be removed and repositioned without disruption to the wall structure, making it a practical specification for offices, schools and shared workspaces. For projects requiring a fully integrated finish, Ace Acoustics also offers custom site-fabricated pinnable wall systems, built to bespoke dimensions and installed directly on site to suit the specific acoustic and design requirements of the space.
Reverberation Control
The fabric-faced acoustic panel construction absorbs sound reflected within the room, helping to reduce reverberation and improve acoustic comfort.
Pin-Receptive Surface
The fabric-faced surface accepts standard pins, allowing the panel to function as a usable pinboard alongside its acoustic role.
Wall-Mounted Panel Format
Supplied as a wall-mounted acoustic panel, suited to offices, schools and shared workspaces where a combined acoustic and pinboard surface is required.
Product Overview
23mm Demountable Whisper Pinboard Acoustic Panel
The principal Whisper Pinboard product is a 23mm demountable, fabric-faced acoustic panel with a pinnable acoustic core, supplied as individual wall-mounted panels for straightforward placement within the room.
23mm Panel Profile
The Whisper Pinboard panel is manufactured to a 23mm overall thickness, giving a slim, wall-mounted profile suited to offices, schools and other interiors where wall space is at a premium.
Pinnable Acoustic Core
Beneath its fabric face, the panel carries an acoustic core that both absorbs sound and accepts pins, so the surface performs as a functional pinboard without compromising its acoustic role.
Supplied as Individual Panels
Panels are supplied as individual, wall-mounted units, allowing them to be positioned and arranged to suit the layout and acoustic requirements of the room.
Configuration Options
Available System & Configuration Options
The configuration options below relate principally to the 23mm demountable Whisper Pinboard panel system and are specified to suit the project, with the following options confirmed during specification.
Panel Sizing
For the 23mm demountable Whisper Pinboard panel system, panels are supplied to suit the required wall area, allowing the panel format to be matched to the space and layout.
Fabric Finish
The 23mm demountable panel system is available in a range of architectural fabric finishes, consistent with the wider Whisper Walls® textile finish range, to suit the interior scheme.
Panel Layout
Panels within the 23mm demountable system can be arranged individually or grouped across a wall area, depending on the acoustic and pinboard coverage required.
Exact panel dimensions, fabric selection and layout are confirmed on a project-specific basis for the 23mm demountable system. Additional Whisper Pinboard thicknesses or tested absorber classes are not implied here and, where required, should be separately confirmed by Ace Acoustics. Contact Ace Acoustics to discuss the configuration options available for your space.
Site-Fabricated Systems
Custom Site-Fabricated Pinnable Wall Systems
In addition to the standard Whisper Pinboard panel, Ace Acoustics specifies project-specific pinnable core and build-up options within site-fabricated Whisper Walls® installations, allowing pinboard functionality to be incorporated into a bespoke, wall-to-wall acoustic scheme where required.
Pinnable Core Selection
Where a project calls for a site-fabricated Whisper Walls® installation with a pinnable surface, the pinnable core is selected and specified for that project, alongside the fabric finish and substrate.
Build-Up Combinations
Pinnable core, backing substrate and fabric finish can be combined in a range of configurations to suit the acoustic, pinboard-use and fire-performance requirements of the specific installation.
Project-Specific Confirmation
Because each site-fabricated pinnable build-up is project-specific, acoustic performance must not be assumed from the standard Whisper Pinboard or standard Whisper Walls® absorber configurations. Where relevant test data exists for the proposed construction it can be referenced; otherwise no Absorber Class or NRC value is stated.
Important Performance Notice
- Custom pinnable build-ups differ from the standard, tested Whisper Pinboard panel configuration. A change to the core, substrate or fabric combination is a different product for performance purposes.
- Absorber-class ratings confirmed for standard Whisper Walls® and Whisper Pinboard configurations must not be assumed to apply automatically to a custom, site-fabricated pinnable build-up.
- No Absorber Class or NRC value is published or quoted for a custom pinnable build-up unless supported by applicable test data for the specific construction.
Ace Acoustics specifies the pinnable core and build-up on a project-specific basis. Acoustic performance is stated only where supported by applicable test data, while the required fire classification is addressed through selection of an appropriate tested configuration for the project.

These figures relate specifically to the tested 23mm demountable Whisper Pinboard configuration and are confirmed to BS EN ISO 354 and classified to BS EN ISO 11654. They should not be applied to other panel depths or build-ups without reference to the relevant test data.
Custom site-fabricated pinnable wall configurations are assessed on a project-specific basis. No Absorber Class or NRC value is assumed for these build-ups unless supported by corresponding test data for the specific construction proposed.

Fire Performance
Euroclass B or Euroclass C can be specified as required. Classification is established by the project specification, contractor, design team or end user, and the appropriate tested configuration is selected accordingly. Fire classification documentation is confirmed with reference to BS EN 13501-1. Not all Whisper Pinboard configurations automatically achieve Euroclass B or C; the required rating must be specified and matched to a tested build-up.
Applications
Where Whisper Pinboard Panels Are Specified
The combined acoustic and pinboard function suits offices, schools and shared workspaces where wall surfaces are used for display alongside acoustic treatment.
