Why are AV and Conference Room Acoustics important?
Poor conference room acoustics can undermine even the most advanced AV/VC systems, leading to muffled speech, disruptive echoes and reduced call clarity.
Many users mistakenly blame their equipment for poor sound quality, when in reality, the problem lies in the room’s acoustics. No amount of audio system adjustments can compensate for excessive reverberation or insufficient sound absorption.
Before you do anything with the equipment, get Resonics to take a look. More often than not its the acoustics that are the issue!

The Benefits of Good AV/VC Room Acoustics
Meeting rooms are hubs for presentations, brainstorming sessions and important discussions. Acoustic treatments ensure that speech remains clear and intelligible, making communication effortless.
Confidentiality is key in boardrooms, client meetings and HR discussions. Sound-absorbing materials prevent conversations from being overheard, safeguarding sensitive information.
External noise can be a major distraction, reducing productivity in meetings. Acoustic treatments absorb excess noise, creating an environment that encourages focus and collaboration.
AV/VC equipment is extremely sensitive to noise. Quality acoustic treatments reduce echo and bounce-back, creating the optimal audio environment.

FAQs & tips for selecting the right conference room acoustic products
- Prioritise placement: Position panels near noise sources or reflective surfaces to maximise sound absorption.
- Know the problem: If sound is transferring between rooms, absorption panels won’t help. A site sound test can pinpoint the issue.
- Consider sound masking: In many cases, it’s an effective solution for controlling sound spill between spaces.
- Get a room assessment: An expert evaluation will ensure the right products are used to create a balanced acoustic environment.
Costs depend on room size and performance goals. Resonics provides free surveys, acoustic modelling, and tailored proposals to fit both budgets and technical requirements.
Most installations are completed within a day or two. Resonics schedules work around existing operations to minimise downtime.
Absolutely. Panels can be placed behind screens, around display walls, or colour-matched to the room. We work with AV integrators to ensure seamless performance and aesthetics.
Yes — in a good way. Proper acoustic treatment helps speakers perform the way they were designed, improving accuracy, clarity, and overall listening experience.
Hard surfaces, minimal furnishings, glass walls, and high ceilings create reflections that lead to echo, muddiness, and poor speech clarity. Noise from adjacent spaces can also disrupt meetings.
Microphones pick up reflected and distorted sound, making voices echo or sound distant to remote participants. Good acoustics ensure crisp, natural speech for high-quality video conferencing.
We install sound-absorbing panels, ceiling rafts, bass control, and optional sound masking to reduce echo, boost clarity, and improve speech privacy. All treatments can be integrated with existing AV systems.
Not at all — it improves it. With less echo and background noise, microphones, speakers, and conferencing systems work more effectively and deliver better audio quality.
Conference rooms are used for presentations, decision-making, and hybrid meetings. Clear, controlled sound ensures everyone — in the room and online — can hear and be heard without strain or misunderstanding.
