Conference rooms and auditoriums are spaces in which communication and acoustics are vital. That said, these aspects are very often overlooked during the planning and design stage, resulting in numerous acoustic issues when the spaces are being used.
What are the main audible disturbances in a conference room?
The most common causes of acoustic issues in conference rooms or auditoriums are:
- Numerous hard surfaces (floors, ceilings, walls made of reflective material like glass, etc.)
- Very high ceilings
- High reverberation times
- Uncontrolled sound propagation
- Background noise caused by audio/video equipment, air-conditioning systems, etc.
Some effective acoustic solutions
Installing sound-absorbing products can significantly improve the acoustics in a conference room or auditorium. Caruso Acoustic offers a wide range of solutions, including ceiling- or wall-mounted products and ones suspended from the ceiling, ensuring maximum flexibility in terms of composition and installation. Thanks to the sound-absorbing material inside, these products reduce reverberation times and improve listening quality in all parts of the room. Furthermore, the numerous ways in which these can be customised, including by size, fixing system, colours, prints and the integration of efficient LED lighting, make Caruso Acoustic products extremely versatile and easy to adapt to all different settings.
