These spaces are often large, with high ceilings and hard, reflective surfaces such as walls, floors, and furniture, which amplify sound waves and lead to excessive reverberation. This creates an acoustically challenging environment where speech can become distorted and difficult to understand, particularly for attendees seated further from the speaker. Acoustic wall panels provide a targeted solution by absorbing sound waves and reducing reflections, ensuring that the lecturer’s voice remains crisp and intelligible throughout the hall. By installing these panels along key surfaces, lecture halls can significantly improve the clarity of spoken words, enhancing the audience’s ability to focus and retain information.

In addition to wall panels, acoustic baffles and rafts play a critical role in optimizing the acoustics of lecture halls with high ceilings. Suspended baffles, installed vertically, and rafts, mounted horizontally, absorb sound from above, preventing it from bouncing back into the audience and creating echoes. These treatments are particularly effective in large spaces where sound tends to travel and reverberate over long distances. Beyond improving speech intelligibility, baffles and rafts help control overall noise levels, ensuring that any background noise from equipment or external sources does not disrupt the learning experience. Additionally, these acoustic solutions can be customized to complement the lecture hall’s aesthetic, offering a blend of functionality and design. By incorporating wall panels, baffles, and rafts, lecture halls can create an acoustically optimized environment that enhances both the educational experience and the space’s versatility for hosting diverse events such as presentations, conferences, and seminars.

In addition to lecture halls, we design and install acoustic panelling for a wide range of environments including meeting rooms, libraries, hotels, homes, gyms and fitness studios, conference rooms, classrooms, church halls, cafés, village halls, swimming pools, sports halls, offices, recording studios, and restaurants.
