Acoustic Challenges

Poor room acoustics can interfere with effective communication.
Speech intelligibility is particularly important for large assembly spaces.
The larger the space the longer sound travels which causes echo and distracts the listener and causes intelligibility problems.
Hard surfaces such as glass walls and vaulted ceilings; increase echo, reverb time and noise, reducing speech intelligibility.
Amplified sound in large spaces can suffer from excessive reverb, echoes, noise and increased feedback, which are due to hard wall and ceiling surfaces.
Speakers often direct sound toward reflective drywall ceilings or ineffective compressed cardboard drop ceilings.
Room size and construction quality is often large and irregular which introduces the problem of increased ambient noise and echo.
Choral singing and live music increase the sound energy level
