Quick answer: In a KTV room, acoustic panels make singing sound better: less harsh, less boomy, so guests enjoy it at a lower volume. But panels do not stop sound leaking between rooms or to neighbours. That needs soundproofing: solid doors, seals and walls up to the slab. Good KTV rooms use both.

Key takeaways

  • Panels make singing sound better.
  • Soundproofing stops leaks between rooms.
  • Good KTV rooms need both.

Inside the room

Panels on walls and ceiling cut harsh echo and boom. Singing sounds cleaner. Guests can enjoy it at a lower volume. See panels vs soundproofing.

Between rooms

No, panels do not stop sound leaking between rooms. Solid doors with seals and walls up to the slab do. Plan this when building the rooms.

Bass

Thick corner panels help with boom inside the room. Bass leaking out needs isolation. These are two separate jobs. See bass traps.

Tough finishes

KTV rooms get heavy use. Fix panels firmly and high, out of reach. Ceiling panels are always fixed mechanically.

Fire safety

Entertainment venues have strict fire rules. Our Flexi™ panels are fire safe. For fire papers and QP/PE sign-off, we coordinate with the owner's side and third-party consultants. See fire safety.

Renovating

Plan panels and soundproofing together during fit-out. It is simpler before rooms are finished. Panels are made to order in about 4–6 weeks.

Room-by-room

Treat the busiest rooms first. Then roll out to the rest. This spreads the cost.

Speaker placement

Place speakers away from shared walls. That reduces how much sound hits those walls. It works alongside soundproofing.

A layout for a typical KTV room

Panels on the wall facing the screen and both side walls, at head height and above. A ceiling panel if the ceiling is hard and low. Thick panels in two corners for boomy bass. Most small KTV rooms need 6 to 10 panels.

Planning a new KTV outlet

Build rooms with walls to the slab and solid, sealed doors first. Then add panels inside each room. Fixing leaks after opening is much harder and costlier than building them out at the start.

What we see on real jobs

KTV complaints are usually about leaks, not echo. Panels fix the sound inside; soundproofing fixes the leaks.
