The United States of America is celebrating its 250th birthday in 2026, and we thought it'd be fun to commemorate America's semiquincentennial by identifying Audimute acoustic panels (all of which are made in the USA) that remind us of each U.S. state.
This week: Iowa, home to beautiful farmlands, the Effigy Mounds National Monument, and an eastern border formed by the Mississippi River.
For Iowa, we chose an Audimute acoustic panel that evokes the sprawling green cornfields of the Hawkeye State: the Fabric Acoustic Panel - FR701 in the "Chartreuse" style.
Immortalized in the 1989 baseball film Field of Dreams, the cornfields of Iowa cover an estimated 36.4% of the state's acreage. Speaking of "ears," our Fabric Acoustic Panels are easy on yours, absorbing an average of 95% of echoes, reverberations, and mid to high frequencies. Each Audimute Fabric Acoustic Panel features high-performance fabrics from Guilford of Maine wrapped around our "green" sound absorption material, eco-C-tex®.

Looking for design inspiration for your sound solution? Here's some of our favorite Fabric Acoustic Panels inspired by October:
Fabric Acoustic Panels - Anchorage - Pumpkin
October means Halloween, and Halloween means pumpkins. Our Fabric Acoustic Panel wrapped in Pumpkin Anchorage fabric brings together orange and brown to create a panel that evokes autumn leaves, harvest moons, and jack o' lanterns. It's an excellent acoustic addition to spaces with cooler shades and neutral colors.
Fabric Acoustic Panels - Anchorage - Onyx
Our Onyx Anchorage Fabric Acoustic Panel is deep, rich, and versatile: it can blend in with dark spaces or stand out when paired with lighter colors. It's perfect year-round, but we're loving it this October because it reminds us of Halloween nights and jack o' lantern smiles.
Fabric Acoustic Panels - FR701 - Opal
Opal is October's birthstone, and our Fabric Acoustic Panel of the same name showcases a similarly elusive "play-of-color" appearance. At first glance, it seems to be a simple creamy white, but upon closer inspection, there is an almost-shimmering quality to the textile, as if blues and greens and silvers were just beneath the surface. It will make any space look and sound better.
It feels like just yesterday that summer was starting, and yet here we are, on the cusp of autumn. Here at Audimute, we're looking forward to a season full of college football, changing leaves, and excellent acoustics.
And to get us in the mood, here's some design inspiration courtesy of sapphire (September's birthstone) and Audimute's FR701 Fabric Acoustic Panel of the same name, wrapped in high-quality fabric from Guilford of Maine:
