Proposal for Spatial Acoustics for the Meeting Room

The prerequisite for any successful negotiation is that its participants can hear each other clearly and distinctly. Good acoustic conditions in offices thus represent one of the pillars that need to be considered from the very beginning of the interior design process. Through the right acoustic adjustments, a space will be created where people understand each other, as well as an environment that offers users greater privacy for conversations and overall better acoustic comfort.

How to Influence Acoustics in a Conference Room

Whether it’s a meeting in the office or remotely via various communication channels, it is important to ensure uninterrupted conversation for those communicating and prevent sound from the meeting place from penetrating into surrounding rooms. Iveta Králová from Saint-Gobain Ecophon will guide you through the offices of SCS Software, s. r. o., in the following video and advise how to improve the sound environment specifically in conference rooms. "I joined Ecophon in 2006, and since then, spatial acoustics have been an integral part of my life. Now I have the opportunity to apply the knowledge I've gained and can focus more on exploring the impact of acoustic environments on human health, behavior, and work productivity," she says, and in the video, among other things, answers the following questions:

• Why does echo occur in a conference room?
• Can the placement of wall panels affect the perception of spatial acoustics?
• How many wall absorbers should be installed?
• Is it possible that an acoustic ceiling will not be a sufficient adjustment?
• What happens if the ceiling cannot be acoustically treated?
