Lecture Theatre

Lecture Theatre Acoustics

Lecture theatres are usually large volume interior spaces, and hence can be very prone to ‘echo’ or reverberation. This in turn can have a negative effect on speech clarity. For those seated at the back, or furthest away from the presenter, this echo effect can be so pronounced that clear understanding of speech or music is a real problem.

Reducing Noise In Lecture Theatre's

The problem may be compounded by the fact that modern lecture theatres also usually have amplified sound systems. Therefore, the acoustic treatment of these large spaces differs from that of smaller classrooms and is usually a critical part of the design process. Reflected sound can be minimised by installing sound absorbing acoustic wall or ceiling panels, like Sontext Serenity Acoustic Panels.
