Improving Acoustics in Meeting Rooms In Short Smooth walls and glass surfaces are the most common cause of poor speech intelligibility in meeting rooms. Acoustic panels, carpets, and textile elements on walls or ceilings noticeably improve both in-person conversations and video conferences. Good speech intelligibility is crucial in meeting rooms. If voices echo, video conferences sound strained, or conversations are difficult to understand, the quality of meetings suffers. Typical Problems too much reverberation due to smooth walls and glass surfaces poor intelligibility when multiple people are speaking video conferences with unpleasant room acoustics lack of absorption on walls or ceilings too few textile or sound-absorbing elements Suitable Measures Acoustic panels, ceiling baffles, acoustic pictures, curtains, carpets, and appropriate furniture can help make rooms more pleasant. It is important to plan the solution according to the room size and use.
