Acoustic panel wall mounting

An acoustic panel wall mounting system, comprising:

• a rigid fastening plate carrying a field of first touch fastening features on one surface thereof, the rigid fastening plate defining an aperture therethrough;
• a mechanical fastener configured to extend through the aperture to secure the rigid fastening plate against a wall surface with the field of first touch fastening features exposed and a head of the mechanical fastener extending outward from the rigid fastening plate;
• and
• a panel anchor comprising a helix extending from a rigid surface flange carrying a field of second touch fastening features on a surface of the rigid surface flange opposite the helix, the helix comprising a hollow cylinder having an external thread and an open end opposite the rigid surface flange, the panel anchor defining a tool receptacle configured to receive a tool for twisting the helix into a panel until the rigid surface flange is at an outer surface of the panel with the field of second touch fastening features exposed;
• wherein the field of first touch fastening features is engageable with the field of second touch fastening features to form a connection when brought into engagement as the panel is placed against the wall surface to contact the rigid fastening plate with the panel anchor;
• and
• wherein the tool receptacle defines a recess configured to receive, when the connection between the field of first touch fastening features and the field of second touch fastening features is formed, the head of the mechanical fastener, with the rigid surface flange held parallel to the rigid fastening plate.
