Designing Adaptive Acoustic Side Walls for Multi-Functional Venues

Designing Adaptive Acoustic Side Walls for Multi-Functional Venues

In our previous article on cultural halls, we explained why side-wall perforated panels are essential. This article explores design strategies for creating adaptive acoustic environments in multi-use venues.

1. Mixed Acoustic Demands

Concerts require longer reverberation for richness, while lectures need clarity and minimal echo. Studies in the Applied Acoustics Journal confirm that perforated wall treatments can balance both needs simultaneously.

2. Key Design Strategies

• Variable Density Panels: Adjust absorption rates for different event types.

• Geometric Perforations: Scatter sound evenly across the hall.

• Integrated Lighting & Panels: Combine functionality with design.

• Modular Sections: Panels can be added or removed depending on event type.

📌 See our Guide: Multi-Use Acoustic Architecture.

3. Placement Recommendations

• Along Side Walls: Controls lateral reflections.

• Near Stage Zones: Enhances performer-audience connection.

• Rear Wall Panels: Prevents echo buildup during speeches.

4. Why Perforated Panels Excel

Compared to curtains or foam, high-density perforated panels deliver long-term durability and better sound control. Endorsed by the Acoustical Society of America, they are ideal for multi-purpose cultural spaces.
