A method of manufacturing acoustic panels comprising the steps of pouring a solidifiable liquid into a container, placing a porous layer of material onto the solidifiable liquid, solidifying the solidifiable liquid into a rigid layer, and removing the rigid layer and the porous layer from the container. The container has at least one form member extending from the bottom of the container upwardly. This form member extends upwardly into the porous layer. The solidifiable liquid is a slurry of cement. The container and the form member are magnetically attractive. The form member has a generally tapered cylindrical shape and rounded edges. The porous layer is a fibrous material.
