Middle Atlantic ORI 15/16 Dynamic Slope 1 Silver Gray - AUO22DS1G1SLG

Middle Atlantic AUO22DS1G1SLG ORI Acoustic Ceiling Tile, Dynamic Slope 1, Silver Gray

Overview

The Middle Atlantic AUO22DS1G1SLG is a 2' x 2' acoustic ceiling tile from the ORI series, designed to integrate discreetly into commercial drop-ceiling grids. Built from 100% polyester PET felt with a Dynamic Slope 1 profile in Silver Gray, it drops directly into standard 15/16" lay-in grid systems — the kind found in conference rooms, open office areas, server anteroom corridors, and AV equipment rooms. If your deployment needs to manage acoustic performance without disrupting the look of a finished ceiling, this tile is worth specifying.

The AUO22DS1G1SLG is part of Middle Atlantic's Middle Atlantic acoustic solutions line, a product family aimed squarely at integrators and facilities teams who need purpose-built acoustic panels that fit standard commercial infrastructure without custom fabrication.

Key Features

• 2' x 2' Format (60.33 x 60.33 cm): Matches the most common commercial drop-ceiling tile dimension, so you're not cutting or adapting anything on-site. Drop-in replacement for existing 2x2 grid bays — no grid modification required.
• 15/16" Lay-In Mounting: Fits the 15/16" T-bar grid standard prevalent in North American commercial construction. If your facility uses 9/16" narrow-profile grid, verify before ordering — this tile is sized and profiled specifically for the wider 15/16" system.
• PET Felt Material (100% Polyester): PET felt is a preferred acoustic material in occupied commercial spaces — it absorbs mid-to-high frequency sound, reducing reverberation in rooms where intelligibility matters (huddle rooms, training spaces, AV demo areas). The polyester construction also means no fiberglass particulates, which matters in spaces where air quality or cleanability is a concern.
• Dynamic Slope 1 Profile: The angled surface geometry of the Dynamic Slope 1 design does two things: it adds visual texture that breaks up a flat ceiling plane, and the slope itself redirects sound reflections rather than returning them straight back into the room. This makes it more effective than flat acoustic panels in rooms with parallel wall/ceiling configurations.
• Silver Gray Color: A neutral tone that integrates with standard commercial ceiling grids and doesn't call attention to itself. Appropriate for corporate interiors, control rooms, and any space where the ceiling treatment needs to disappear visually.
• 2-Inch Profile Height: At 2 in (5.1 cm), the tile fits within typical plenum clearance without interference — relevant in dense infrastructure ceilings where every inch of clearance above the grid matters for cabling and HVAC runs.

Integration & Compatibility

The AUO22DS1G1SLG is built for standard 15/16" exposed-tee lay-in ceiling grid systems. It replaces a standard 2x2 tile directly — no additional hardware, no adhesive, no modification to the grid. In acoustic treatment planning for AV and security equipment rooms, these tiles are commonly deployed in combination with wall panels and floor treatments to achieve target RT60 values in enclosed spaces. Consult your acoustic consultant or AV designer for full room treatment specifications; the tile itself is one element of a layered approach.

Because the material is PET felt (not mineral fiber or fiberglass), it handles humidity better than traditional acoustic tile in spaces with variable HVAC conditions. It is not rated for wet or exterior environments — this is a finished indoor ceiling application only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What ceiling grid size does the AUO22DS1G1SLG fit?

A: The AUO22DS1G1SLG is designed for 15/16" lay-in T-bar grid systems, which is the standard exposed-tee grid used in most North American commercial drop ceilings. It is not designed for 9/16" narrow-profile grid systems.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the AUO22DS1G1SLG?

A: The tile measures 2' x 2' (60.33 x 60.33 cm) with a profile height of 2 in (5.1 cm). It is a direct replacement for standard 2x2 commercial ceiling tiles.

Q: What material is the AUO22DS1G1SLG made from?

A: It is constructed from PET felt, which is 100% polyester. This makes it fiber-free (no fiberglass), which is an advantage in occupied or sensitive indoor environments.

Q: Can this tile be used in outdoor or wet environments?

A: No. The AUO22DS1G1SLG is an indoor ceiling tile intended for finished, climate-controlled commercial spaces. It is not rated for exterior, wet, or high-humidity applications.

Q: What is the Dynamic Slope 1 profile?

A: Dynamic Slope 1 refers to the angled surface geometry of the tile. Unlike flat acoustic panels, the sloped profile redirects sound reflections rather than returning them directly back into the room, improving acoustic performance in enclosed spaces with parallel surfaces.

Ted Perry

The AUO22DS1G1SLG is a straightforward spec if you're outfitting a 15/16" lay-in grid ceiling in a commercial AV or security control environment and need acoustic treatment that installs without any additional hardware. The 2-inch profile height keeps it well within typical plenum clearance, and the PET felt construction means you're not introducing fiberglass into an occupied space — a detail that matters in equipment rooms with regular technician access.

Technical Highlights:

• 15/16" Lay-In Mount: Direct drop-in for North American standard commercial grid — no adapters, no cutting, no grid modification. Replaces a standard 2x2 mineral tile in under a minute per bay.
• PET Felt (100% Polyester): No fiberglass shedding in occupied or sensitive spaces; holds up better than mineral fiber in variable-humidity conditions common near HVAC diffusers.
• Dynamic Slope 1 Profile at 2 in (5.1 cm): The angled geometry redirects ceiling reflections rather than bouncing them straight back — more effective than flat tiles in rooms with parallel wall/ceiling surfaces like equipment rooms and huddle spaces.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify your grid is 15/16" exposed-tee before ordering. Facilities with 9/16" narrow-profile grid will need a different tile — this one won't seat correctly in a narrow-tee system.
• This tile is an indoor-only product. Do not specify it for spaces with direct moisture exposure, high humidity without climate control, or any exterior application.

Best fit for corporate AV rooms, security operations centers, and training spaces built on standard 15/16" commercial drop-ceiling infrastructure where acoustic treatment and a clean visual finish are both required.
