Acoustic Panels - A Simple Solution that Makes a Big Difference
As an AV integrator, we strive to optimize every space to offer as much productivity as possible. Advanced technology can produce incredible results, however, the performance of a piece of equipment can vary if the environment isn't ideal.
Acoustic Panels are a great, cost-efficient way to improve the sound quality in a space while enhancing surrounding technology. Not only does an Acoustic Panel solution improve the soundscape and facilitate communication, but it also helps improve privacy, all factors that contribute to a functional work environment.
How Do Acoustic Panels Work?
Acoustic Panels are often made out of soft, sound-absorbing foam with a wooden frame. The sound absorption these panels deliver reduces unwanted echo and background building noise. This allows for clear, pleasing communication in person and increases sound quality during video and audio conferencing. Most acoustic panels are capable of eliminating sound at the first point of reflection.
Installing Acoustic Panels is a cost-effective solution when done correctly, and the placement of the panels is vital to the success of their functionality. After determining the ideal position and size, the panels are sourced to match a room's aesthetics and built to proper specifications. Using mounting hardware, the acoustic panels are hung, making the installation process as straightforward as hanging a piece of art.
Where Are Acoustic Panels Used?
Acoustic Panels are used in all sorts of spaces, from music recording studios, boardrooms, co-working setups and restaurants. Although very different, each environment experiences the same valuable benefits the solution delivers, mitigated background noise and reduced reverberation and echo.
In our comparative demonstration seen here, the significant impact Acoustic Panels have in a boardroom setting is clear. The audio quality shifts from troublesome and unpleasant to professional and polished immediately after installation and showcases the positive effects the solution can have on a company's video and audio conferencing.
AV technology isn't always about massive displays or over-the-top sound systems. The goal above everything else is to provide solutions that improve efficiency and the end-user experience. Acoustic Panels may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about AV, but the benefits they provide are undeniable.
