Middle Atlantic Double ARC 2X2 Premium Midnight Blue - AUTT22SQDACSMMNB

Middle Atlantic AUTT22SQDACSMMNB Double Arc Acoustic Wall Tile, Midnight Blue

Overview

The Middle Atlantic AUTT22SQDACSMMNB is a 2' x 2' acoustic wall tile from the TruTile Designs line, engineered for control rooms, server staging areas, and professional AV environments where sound management and aesthetics both matter. At 9mm thick and 1.8 lbs, it installs directly onto walls without requiring a full room renovation, making it a practical addition to operations centers, dispatch rooms, and technical spaces where hard surface reflections interfere with voice intelligibility and monitoring clarity. The Midnight Blue colorway suits environments where a professional, low-distraction visual tone is preferred over standard gray or white panels.

This tile sits within the broader Middle Atlantic acoustic solutions catalog, a line focused on technical environments where both structure and sound control are design requirements.

Key Features

• 2' x 2' Format (60.33 x 60.33 cm): The square tile format aligns with standard drop-ceiling grid dimensions, simplifying layout planning for rooms that already follow a 2x2 module. Tiling wall sections in consistent 2' increments makes it easier to achieve full-coverage acoustic treatment without cutting or custom sizing.
• 9mm Depth Profile: At just under 3/8 inch, this tile adds minimal protrusion from the wall surface — a real factor in compact control rooms and server staging corridors where floor space and clearances are already tight. Thinner panels also reduce the anchor load on the wall substrate.
• PET Felt Construction (100% Polyester): The polyester felt material absorbs mid and high-frequency sound reflections that cause echo and intelligibility loss in hard-surfaced technical rooms. Unlike foam acoustic panels, PET felt is more durable, easier to clean, and holds its shape under typical facility conditions.
• Flame Retardant Material: The panel material meets flame retardant requirements — a non-negotiable in commercial and government technical spaces where fire code compliance governs finish material selection. This matters for control rooms in public safety, utility, and enterprise environments where inspectors review finish specs.
• TAA Compliant: The AUTT22SQDACSMMNB carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal procurement contracts. If your project requires TAA-compliant materials throughout the build-out, this tile qualifies without an exemption request.
• Double Arc Pattern Design: The Double Arc surface geometry adds visual texture to the installation, breaking up flat wall runs in a way that reads as deliberate design rather than afterthought acoustic treatment. In client-facing control rooms and briefing centers, the finished look matters alongside acoustic performance.
• Midnight Blue Colorway: The specific Midnight Blue finish works well in low-light monitoring environments where neutral, non-reflective wall surfaces reduce eye strain during extended shifts. It also coordinates with the darker equipment finishes common in AV and security operations infrastructure.
• Lightweight at 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg): Individual tile weight stays low enough that standard drywall anchors handle the installation load. No structural blocking or special substrate prep required in typical commercial wall construction.
• Internationally Available: The tile ships internationally, which matters for multi-site enterprise deployments or global integrators sourcing materials for consistent finish specifications across locations.
• No Mounting Hardware Included: Mounting hardware is not included with this tile. Plan your fastener and adhesive selection based on the wall substrate — drywall, concrete, and CMU each require a different anchor approach. Factor this into your materials order before installation day.

Integration and Compatibility

The AUTT22SQDACSMMNB is a modular wall finish component, not an electronic device, so integration means physical coordination with the room build-out rather than software or protocol compatibility. The 2' x 2' format is designed to work within the acoustic wall panel systems TruTile Designs family, meaning you can mix pattern designs and colorways from the same line to create zoned layouts or accent walls within a single space. Because mounting hardware is sold separately, sourcing the correct anchors for your wall substrate from a technical furniture and accessories supplier is part of the pre-installation planning process. For operations centers and control rooms requiring comprehensive acoustic treatment, pairing wall tiles with ceiling treatment and under-floor cable management from the Middle Atlantic technical furniture line provides a coordinated build-out approach. Consult your room acoustics planning guide to determine coverage density — acoustic tile placement and density are room-specific based on surface area and target RT60 values.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the AUTT22SQDACSMMNB TAA compliant for government procurement?

A: Yes. The AUTT22SQDACSMMNB carries TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, making it eligible for federal, state, and municipal contract purchases without a country-of-origin exemption.

Q: Does mounting hardware come included with the AUTT22SQDACSMMNB?

A: No. Mounting hardware is not included. You will need to select appropriate fasteners or adhesive based on your specific wall substrate — drywall, concrete, and CMU each require different anchor types.

Q: What material is the AUTT22SQDACSMMNB made from?

A: The tile is constructed from 100% polyester PET felt. The material is flame retardant, meeting commercial fire code requirements for finish materials in technical and public safety facilities.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the AUTT22SQDACSMMNB?

A: The tile measures 2 feet x 2 feet (60.33 x 60.33 cm) with a 9mm depth profile. It weighs 1.8 lbs (0.8 kg) per tile.

Q: Can the AUTT22SQDACSMMNB be used in international deployments?

A: Yes. The product is available for international shipment, which supports multi-site enterprise deployments requiring consistent finish specifications across global locations.

Q: Is the AUTT22SQDACSMMNB compatible with other tiles in the TruTile Designs line?

A: Yes. The 2' x 2' format is a standard module within the Middle Atlantic TruTile Designs acoustic wall tile family, so different pattern designs and colorways from the same line can be installed together in a coordinated layout.

Marty Allison

The AUTT22SQDACSMMNB is the tile I spec when a control room or dispatch center needs acoustic treatment that won't look like an afterthought. The 9mm depth profile is the spec that matters most in tight technical spaces — you're not sacrificing wall clearance or creating snag points behind furniture runs, and at 1.8 lbs per tile, standard drywall anchors carry the load without any substrate reinforcement.

Technical Highlights:

• Flame Retardant PET Felt: The 100% polyester construction meets flame retardant requirements for commercial occupancies — this clears the finish material inspection in public safety, utility, and government facilities without needing a variance or substitution approval.
• TAA Compliance: TAA compliance is built in, not an add-on. For any project running through federal, state, or municipal procurement, this tile qualifies out of the box — no country-of-origin documentation chase.
• 2' x 2' Module at 9mm: The square format coordinates directly with standard ceiling grid modules, which simplifies layout math when you're treating walls and ceiling in the same room. The 60.33 x 60.33 cm footprint gives you clean coverage planning in metric-specified international projects as well.

Deployment Considerations:

• Mounting hardware is not included — specify your anchor type before the installation crew arrives. Drywall, poured concrete, and CMU block each require a different fastener, and missing this detail on a government project can delay final inspection.
• This tile treats the room acoustically, but coverage density matters. A single tile on one wall changes nothing measurable. Work from an RT60 target and plan tile placement density accordingly — partial coverage is a common spec error on first-time control room builds.

The AUTT22SQDACSMMNB is the right call for TAA-required operations centers, public safety dispatch rooms, and enterprise briefing spaces where both acoustic performance and finish aesthetics are part of the contract deliverable — not just background considerations.
