How to Reduce Echo in a Room: Acoustic Tips and Solutions

Echo in a room can be disruptive, making conversations unpleasant. Hard surfaces like wood and glass reflect sound, increasing reverberation. To minimize this effect without compromising aesthetics, Vicoustic’s acoustic panels provide an effective solution. Not only do they enhance sound clarity, but they also contribute to the room’s thermal comfort. With modern designs and high-quality materials, they integrate seamlessly into the décor, creating a more balanced and inviting atmosphere.
