Downing Place Church
The problem: Resonics undertook an acoustic panel installation at Downing Place Church in Cambridge, addressing the unique challenges of improving acoustics in a historical and multifunctional space. The project aimed to enhance speech intelligibility and music quality for various church activities, from regular services to community events.

Our solution
We collaborated closely with church leaders to understand their specific needs and aesthetic considerations, ensuring that the acoustic solutions blended seamlessly with the church’s historic architecture. The installation involved strategically placing high-performance acoustic panels on the walls and ceilings to absorb sound, reduce reverberation, and control echoes.
The installation process was carefully managed to minimise disruption to the church’s daily operations and preserve the integrity of the building. A combination of white fabric wrapped panels and Ecophon Solo Rafts was installed throughout.

The Outcome
Post-installation, the impact was immediately noticeable. The church reported a significant improvement in the clarity of spoken words and the quality of the music during services.
The congregation’s feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many noting a more enjoyable and engaging experience.
