Acoustic Surveys

We specialise in acoustic surveys for meeting rooms and educational spaces

Even if you invest in top-tier AV equipment, your communications can still suffer from muffled speech, disruptive echoes, and frustrated participants, because of poor room acoustics.

The good news is that with a an acoustic survey done by an experienced acoustic consultant, you’ll get a data-backed solution that ensures your tech will work at its best, within the space where it’s installed.

The Hidden Cost of Poor Acoustics

Every day, organisations lose time, focus and credibility because of sub-standard audio. It shows up in countless subtle ways:

  • Communication barriers: Remote participants struggle to follow conversations, miss key points and feel “on the outside”.
  • Meeting fatigue: Straining to hear and constantly asking for repetition is exhausting, reducing concentration and decision-making.
  • Reputation damage: Important client or board meetings feel amateurish when sound is boomy, echoey or inconsistent.
  • Collaboration breakdown: Team members disengage when they can’t clearly hear colleagues across the table, let alone those joining remotely.

The reality is simple:

Audio is the single most important aspect of communication.

People can tolerate a slightly fuzzy picture. But if people can’t hear each other clearly, the meeting has failed – no matter how impressive the rest of your set-up looks.

VideoCentric’s Acoustic Survey Service

Professional assessment. Measurable improvements. Happier meetings.

VideoCentric’s expert acoustic consultants specialise in meeting and collaboration spaces. We don’t guess what might help – we measure, analyse and design a treatment plan that delivers real, audible improvements.

We use professional test equipment and tried-and-tested methodology to understand exactly how sound behaves in your room, then recommend the precise interventions required to fix it.

Our acoustic survey process includes:

  • 1. Define room dimensions
  • 2. Perform a comprehensive acoustic survey
  • 3. Analyse existing surfaces and materials
  • 4. Document current audio quality
  • 5. Consider room aesthetics and function
  • 6. Recommend optimal acoustic materials
  • 7. Demonstrate improvements using acoustic modelling
  • 8. Match AV technology to acoustics
  • 9. Coordinate acoustic treatment installation
  • 10. Integrate and verify with your conferencing systems

What Makes Our Service Different?

Our acoustic surveys are designed especially for optimising meeting room and conference theatre acoustics.

Many “solutions” to poor audio involve guesswork: a few panels here, a soft furnishing there, and hope for the best. We take a more scientific approach.

Every recommendation we make is backed by data, including:

  • Reverberation time (RT60) measurements: Industry-standard metrics that show how long sound lingers in your room.
  • Speech intelligibility assessments: Clear, objective numbers indicating how easy it is to understand speech.
  • Noise level documentation: Measuring background noise, HVAC hum and neighbouring disturbances.
  • Acoustic modelling: Visual layouts showing where treatment is needed and why.
  • Before/after comparisons: So you can hear the improvement before investing across multiple rooms or sites.

More Than Just Acoustics

With VideoCentric, acoustics are just the beginning. As specialists in video communications, we design and deliver complete meeting solutions – from Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Webex devices to cameras, microphones, displays and control systems. Your acoustic treatment is fully integrated with your AV platform, room layout and user needs, not treated as a standalone project. Whether you’re upgrading a single room or standardising spaces across multiple sites, we help you create meeting environments where acoustics, technology and user experience all work together seamlessly.

Acoustic Solutions for Every Space

We design bespoke solutions that reflect how you use your rooms.

Business Meeting Rooms

Modern meeting rooms often look fantastic but sound terrible. Glass walls, hard floors, exposed ceilings and minimalist décor all contribute to echo, harshness and poor intelligibility. In these spaces, VideoCentric focuses on strategic, high-impact treatment.

Carefully selected ceiling and wall solutions positioned where they will make the biggest difference to clarity. We work with your existing interior design, ensuring acoustic panels, baffles and finishes either blend seamlessly into the background or subtly enhance your corporate aesthetic.

The result is a room that looks every bit as professional as it sounds, without being over-engineered or cluttered.

Educational Environments

Teaching and learning spaces demand a different approach. In classrooms, we ensure that teachers can be heard clearly from any position in the room, with acoustic zoning that supports group work, individual focus and whole-class teaching.

In lecture theatres, we balance reinforcement and reverberation so speech remains clear to every seat without becoming tiring over longer sessions.

For hybrid learning environments, we pay particular attention to how sound is captured for remote students, optimising room acoustics so those joining online can follow lessons as easily as those on campus.

The overall aim is simple: to create spaces where communication flows naturally, and students stay engaged.

Executive Boardrooms

Executive and boardroom spaces carry a higher expectation of privacy, polish and performance. Here, VideoCentric designs acoustic treatments that enhance speech privacy, keeping sensitive conversations within the room and reducing the risk of distractions from adjacent areas.

We specify premium-finish materials and discreet solutions that complement high-end furniture and décor, ensuring the room retains its executive feel.

At the same time, we optimise the space for high-stakes presentations, investor calls and client meetings, so every voice sounds confident, clear and controlled—both in the room and to remote participants.

Why Choose VideoCentric

As our name suggests, VideoCentric lives and breathes video communications. We don’t approach acoustics as an isolated discipline – we approach it through the lens of Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google Meet and hybrid work.

We understand how different platforms handle echo cancellation, noise suppression and gain control, and we design rooms that play to their strengths rather than fighting against them.

You don’t need to juggle multiple suppliers. VideoCentric can:

  • Survey your rooms
  • Design your acoustic treatment
  • Introduce you to reputable acoustic installers
  • Integrate and fine-tune, or upgrade your AV systems afterwards

One partner, one point of accountability, from first conversation to final sign-off.
