The impulsraum is a multipurpose room, whether for coaching, workshop, meeting or confidential discussions. A lounge area with its own coffee bar completes the offer. This room is also wonderfully suited as a location for a cultural event to a pop-up store. There are an infinite number of ideas to be realised here, by anyone who is looking for an inspiring atmosphere. The impulse room is open to everything.

In this space, workshops and training events are hosted, as well as receptions and networking events. This means that, in some of these events, large groups of people can be within this space - up to 40 to 50 people, according to the client. In such events, communication is fundamental and speech intelligibility needs to be appropriate for people to understand one another, or the spokesperson, in case of training events and workshops.

Given the very reflective materials from which the room was built from (masonry walls with several windows, wood floors, etc.), the client’s main complaint is that the space is highly reverberant. As a consequence, the background noise created by such a room full of conversations will quickly build up, making it very hard for people to understand each other and, consequently, people will have to raise their voices to perceive one another. A highly reverberant space will also compromise speech intelligibility, which is fundamental for proper communication.

Vicoustic's Project Team proposed solutions in order to control the reverberation time within this room: sound absorbing panels, which will control the reflections by taking energy from them (this is being done by Vicoustic’s Cinema Round Premium panels). It should be noted that this room has very few available surfaces on the walls for acoustic treatment to be used. Therefore, the largest available area to place acoustic panels on is the ceiling.

This project was developed for impulsraum, by Vicoustic's Project Team.
