Quick answer: Huddle rooms are small and often glass-walled, so voices bounce back almost instantly and calls sound hollow. Four to six panels on the solid walls, especially behind and beside where people sit, fix most of it. A ceiling panel helps if the ceiling is hard. It costs about S$740 to S$1,110 installed.

Key takeaways

  • Small glass rooms sound hollow on calls.
  • 4 to 6 panels fix most of it.
  • About S$740 to S$1,110 installed.

Why small rooms sound bad

The walls are close, so the bounce arrives almost with your voice and muddies it. Mics pick up that bounce. People on the call hear a hollow sound. See echoey video calls.

Where panels go

Put panels on the solid walls behind and beside the seats. Add one on the wall facing the camera. These are the surfaces closest to the mic.

Glass

Treat the solid walls and ceiling instead of the glass. That still cuts the bounce. It keeps the glass clear. See glass meeting rooms.

Ceiling

A ceiling panel above the table helps if the ceiling is hard. Ceiling panels are always fixed mechanically. Standard fixings are included.

Privacy

No, panels do not stop voices leaking out. Door seals, a solid door and walls up to the slab do that. Panels only fix echo inside. See sound leakage.

Panels and price diagram

Cost

4 to 6 panels cost about S$740 to S$1,110 installed. A small room install usually takes a few hours. Quotes from photos are free. See meeting room panels.

Camera

The wall behind people shows on camera. Panels there can carry your brand colour or a printed logo. It doubles as a neat backdrop.

Speakerphones

A speakerphone picks up the room as well as voices. In a room with less echo, it sounds clearer. Fix the room before buying new gear.

What we see on real jobs

Huddle rooms are small, so a few panels go a long way. They are among the cheapest rooms in an office to fix.
