Applications
Offices, boardrooms, meeting rooms, interview booths, deposition rooms, video conferencing, teleconferencing, call centres and examination rooms
Acoustic Challenges
Poor room acoustics can interfere with effective communication.
Speech intelligibility is particularly important for meetings and interviews.
Hard surfaces increase echo, reverb time and noise, reducing speech intelligibility.
Video conferencing, teleconferencing and recording can suffer from excessive reverb, echoes, noise and increased feedback, which are due to hard wall and ceiling surfaces.
Speakerphones often direct sound toward reflective drywall ceilings or ineffective compressed cardboard drop ceilings.
Room size and construction quality is often compromised in standard office buildings, reducing inter-room sound separation and privacy.
Open concept offices introduce the problem of increased ambient noise and echo.
