Room Acoustics has never been so important as businesses communicate via regular conference calls and video calls with staff, clients, and partners working across multiple sites and from home. Poor room acoustics has a significant detrimental effect on profits, staff fatigue and customer satisfaction.
Impact of Poor Room Acoustics
Reduced speech clarity (known in acoustics as Speech Intelligibility) leads to misunderstanding, frustration, hearing fatigue, and loss of interest for everyone. This is especially exasperated if your employee/client is one of the 12 million adults in the UK (1 in 5) with hearing loss greater than 25 dBHL.
Room Treatment
By adding the right acoustic treatment to the room, the acoustics can be significantly improved creating a more pleasant and productive space. However it is not as easy as just buying some acoustics panels and hanging them on the wall.
For example, absorbers come in many different shapes, sizes, materials, and are intended to control different frequencies such as a bias in low frequencies or speech frequencies. They also have different applications such as for hospitals, factories, residential, etc, with some wall mounted and others suspended from the ceiling.
Different rooms require different approaches and so it is key to pick the correct solution and quantity to rectify each rooms specific problem.
