Audiotonas designs and implements room acoustics improvement solutions that help reduce unwanted sound reflections and create a more comfortable acoustic environment. Such solutions have already been implemented in a wide range of educational and public facilities, including Ginkūnai Progymnasium, Kalvarija Gymnasium, Kauno kolegija, Lazdijai Sports Centre, Ringaudai Primary School, Telšiai Krantas Progymnasium, Utena Manor, VMU Valdas Adamkus Sports Centre, VMU Atžalynas Progymnasium and Versvai Gymnasium.
Solutions Tailored to Each Space
There is no single acoustic solution suitable for every room. The result depends on the size and geometry of the space, the materials used on walls and ceilings, the intended use of the room and the number of people using it.
When necessary, acoustic measurements and calculations are carried out before selecting the most suitable solution. This makes it possible to evaluate reverberation time, speech intelligibility and the most effective locations for installing acoustic treatment.
One of the most commonly used solutions is specialised sound-absorbing acoustic panels. These materials absorb part of the sound energy that would otherwise be reflected from hard surfaces, helping to reduce reverberation and overall noise levels.
Depending on the space, acoustic panels can be installed on walls, ceilings or selected areas where they provide the greatest effect. By correctly calculating the required amount and positioning of acoustic materials, a significant improvement can often be achieved without the need for major reconstruction.
Especially Important in Sports and Educational Facilities
Sports halls are among the most acoustically challenging spaces. Their large volume, high ceilings and abundance of hard surfaces such as parquet, concrete and glass create ideal conditions for long reverberation times.
When many people are present, the noise level increases even further. Instructions from teachers or coaches become harder to understand, while announcements and amplified speech during events lose clarity.
By installing properly selected sound-absorbing materials, reverberation can be significantly reduced and speech intelligibility improved. For sports facilities, impact-resistant acoustic panels can also be used, ensuring that the solution remains practical and durable even in intensively used spaces.
The appearance of the panels can also be adapted to the interior, allowing acoustic improvements to become an integral part of the overall design rather than a purely technical addition.
Better Acoustics Means More Than Less Echo
The goal of acoustic treatment is not only to reduce audible echo. A well-balanced acoustic environment improves speech clarity, lowers background noise and makes communication easier.
This is important not only in sports halls, but also in classrooms, auditoriums, meeting rooms, conference spaces and areas used for remote communication. Better acoustics can also improve the performance of sound reinforcement and video conferencing systems, as microphones capture less unwanted reflected sound.
Audiotonas can manage the entire process – from room evaluation and acoustic measurements to solution design, material selection and installation. This turns acoustic treatment into a complete technical solution tailored to the specific space, resulting in less reverberation, clearer speech and a more comfortable environment for everyone using the room.
