Acoustic Panels Add Form and Function
During the customization and design process of a Boxx Office Studio, we discuss additional materials a customer may add to his or her home office. One of those material options is acoustic panels to one wall of the studio. Acoustic panels are specifically designed to absorb and diffuse sound waves, which can help to create a more controlled acoustic environment within your Boxx Backyard Office Studio. This means clearer, more accurate sound reproduction, whether on the phone, on a video meeting or being interviewed for a podcast!
Acoustic panels are also available in a range of colors and styles, so they add a design element that hopefully complements the décor theme of your Boxx Backyard Office Studio. Whether the preference is a modern, minimalist look or a more traditional aesthetic, there's sure to be an acoustic panel that will add function and style to the workspace.
There are three primary ways acoustic panels help audio quality in video or phone meetings:
Reduce Echoes: Acoustic panels can absorb sound reflections that bounce off hard surfaces, such as walls and ceilings. This can help to create clearer audio for Zoom or Google meetings, where participants can hear each other more easily.
Improve Speech Intelligibility: Acoustic panels can also help to improve speech intelligibility, making it easier for participants to understand each other during the meeting. This is particularly important if the meeting involves participants with different accents or if there are technical issues with the audio equipment.
Visual Background: Form and function are important. Using a dual-purpose piece of functional wall art can make a statement and absorb sound. Etsy has a selection of multi-tasking wall art, examples here and here.
Overall, acoustic panels can help to create a more controlled acoustic environment within a small office space, which can lead to clearer, more accurate sound reproduction and better communication during video or phone meetings.
