Quick answer: Boardrooms of 30–50 m² often need 14–24 acoustic panels, including a ceiling treatment, because they are large, hard and used for important calls. Treat the walls beside and opposite the table, add a ceiling cloud or panels above it and position microphones close to people. The result is clearer speech in the room and on calls.

Key takeaways

  • 14–24 panels is typical for 30–50 m².
  • Ceiling above the table is a big win.
  • Fix the room before upgrading AV.

Why do boardrooms echo?

A boardroom is a big room with glass, a hard table and long bare walls. Voices bounce between these surfaces before they fade. On calls, the microphone picks up that echo, so remote people hear a hollow sound.

What to treat

Treat the walls beside and opposite the table first. Then add a ceiling cloud or panels above the table. Finish with any bare back wall that faces the screen.

AV and microphones

Put microphones close to the people speaking. In an bare room, even good microphones pick up echo. Fix the room first, then judge whether the AV still needs an upgrade. See panels for meeting rooms and speech clarity.

Look and cost

Panels in brand tones or custom print support the room’s image. A 30–50 m² boardroom often needs 14–24 panels. That is 14 × S$165 = S$2,310 up to 24 × S$165 = S$3,960 installed, with the count confirmed from photos.

Common boardroom mistakes

  • Upgrading cameras and speakers before treating the room.
  • Treating only the back wall.
  • Hard glass on two sides with no ceiling treatment.
  • Putting a soundbar in a bare corner.

Fix the room first, then tune the equipment. A treated room makes every camera, mic and speaker work better.

Microphones and speakers

Table microphones pick up less room than ceiling mics in an bare room. After treatment, either works better. Keep loudspeakers off bare walls and away from corners.

What we see on real jobs

Boardrooms are where expensive AV meets bad acoustics. Treating the room first usually saves money.
