Hui Acoustics used suspended spatial sound absorbers positioned within the gymnasium volume to provide additional sound-absorbing surfaces.

The solution helps:

• Control sound reflections
• Reduce excessive reverberation
• Improve speech clarity
• Reduce overall acoustic disturbance
• Create a more comfortable environment
• Maintain the open function of the gymnasium

Suspended absorbers are particularly suitable for large-volume gymnasiums because they can provide additional absorption without occupying valuable floor or wall space. Research on gymnasium acoustics also identifies suspended space absorbers as an effective approach for reverberation control.

Design Approach

The spatial absorbers were integrated into the upper volume of the gymnasium, making use of the available overhead space while maintaining the functionality of the sports area.

The treatment combines acoustic performance with a clean architectural appearance, making the absorbers both functional and visually coordinated with the interior.
