The Challenge

Echo in AV and conferencing rooms ruins every call

Good treatment fixes this at the microphone, not the software. By absorbing sound around the camera and mic position, you make every call sound as clear in the room as it does on the other end — no echo, no repeating yourself, no one blaming a bad connection that was never the real problem.

A hard-walled meeting room turns every video call into hard work. Sound bounces off the glass and painted walls straight back into the microphone, so the person on the other end hears an echo under everything you say — and starts asking you to repeat yourself, meeting after meeting.

Sound reasons for Acoustic

We know a conferencing room's real acoustic problem isn't loudness — it's how clearly a microphone picks up speech and how much reflected sound the person on the other end of the call hears underneath it. We treat for call clarity specifically, which is a different target than general room comfort.

One contractor, start to finish

Survey, design and installation handled by our own team, and testing carried out with our testing partner, EMC Acoustics. One team stays accountable for the result, from the first site visit to the final sign-off.

Designed to a target

Every space gets an acoustic design modelled to a specific reverberation target, not a standard panel layout. Before-and-after acoustic measurement is available as a paid add-on, so the improvement can be proven, not just felt.

Specified for speech clarity, not just quiet

Beam-steering microphones and echo cancellation cannot fully undo a reverberant room. Research published by the Institute of Acoustics found call quality often stays poor despite advanced AV, with room acoustics among the causes. We place absorption around your screens, cameras and microphones so remote participants hear clear speech.

Independent on materials

We source from several manufacturers and are tied to none, so we specify what your space and budget actually need, not what one catalogue stocks.

Conferencing Room Acoustic Package

We assess the echo and background noise your microphones pick up, design absorption so voices reach the far end clearly, and specify panels that sit alongside your screens and cameras. We flag noisy ventilation or equipment for your mechanical contractor. Our installation team fits the treatment around your bookings.

Acoustic Survey

A free site survey. An acoustician assesses the space and how it is used, and you receive a quotation and an AI-assisted acoustic report, with no obligation to go ahead.

Acoustic Design

Product placement, specifications and drawings your contractor can work from, designed around how the space is used. Free design on qualifying projects.

Remote Proposals

Send us drawings and photographs and we'll prepare an acoustic proposal with product recommendations and a quotation for supply and installation, free of charge.

Acoustic Testing & Compliance

Before-and-after acoustic measurement and compliance testing, carried out with our testing partner EMC Acoustics. This is a paid service, available on any project.

Trusted on schools, venues and landmark halls

The Fix

How we reduce the noise

We absorb sound at the ceiling and on the walls behind and beside the camera position, which is what actually improves how clearly microphones pick up speech on a call.

  • One team surveys, designs and installs — nothing gets lost between contractors

  • Every install is checked against the target spec before we call it done

  • Not tied to one manufacturer, so the product is chosen for your space, not our stock

Standards, finishes and installation

Your questions about this space, answered.

How do I stop echo on video calls in a conference room?

Absorb reflected sound at the ceiling and on the walls behind and beside the camera position, because that is where the microphone picks up the most reflections. Treating those surfaces improves call clarity far more than adding panels evenly around the room.

Can acoustic panels work around screens, cameras and microphones?

Yes. Panels are positioned around fixed equipment rather than in the way of it, so existing screens, cameras and microphones do not need to be moved. We plan the layout with your AV supplier where equipment is being changed.

Which acoustic standards apply to video conferencing rooms?

There is no single mandatory standard. BS ISO 22955:2021 for office acoustics and the WELL Sound concept are the usual references, and speech clarity is judged from measured reverberation and background noise. We set a target with you; measurement against it is available as a paid add-on.

Do I need to treat every wall in a conference room?

Not always. We identify which surfaces are actually causing the problem during the survey, usually those behind the camera and the microphone position, and treat those first. Blanket coverage can leave the room over-treated and more expensive.

Will acoustic panels change the look of a boardroom?

Only as far as you want them to. Panels can blend into the wall colour or be a deliberate feature, and slim ceiling profiles sit flush with modern interiors. Samples are available on request; allow a few working days.
