Too much reverberation
Although for many people a certain degree of reverberation belongs in a church building, there were still 2 rooms where the sound did not fit well enough with the function of the room.
The "Silence Room" is a 10 meter high cylindrical space resulting in a very annoying long reverberation time.
The Mary Chapel has a semicircular shape, where sound also gets a lot of chance to reflect in an annoying way.
The result
Incatro took care of the acoustic measurement and made a number of proposals based on this, in which the acoustics and the aesthetic appearance were both equally important.
At the "Silence Room" we have applied 7 ARTpanels, one of our acoustic wall solutions, with a beautiful art print on top. Each panel had a size of 120 x 400 cm. In addition, 2 acoustic panels of 120 x 120 cm have been added, equipped with LED lighting.
At the Mary Chapel we have hung 4 ARTpanels of 100 x 380 cm and 2 ARTpanels of 100 x 260cm.
For example, the reverberation time in these 2 rooms has been reduced to a pleasant level.
