How do Gypsum board ceilings help reduce echo and noise in large conference rooms?

Large conference rooms in corporate headquarters, universities, and hotels across Riyadh, Dubai, and Doha often suffer from long reverberation times that degrade speech clarity. Gypsum board ceilings, when integrated with acoustic treatments, provide an effective strategy to reduce echo and improve intelligibility. The gypsum surface can be perforated or combined with acoustic panels and absorptive lining in the plenum to target specific frequency bands—particularly mid-frequencies associated with human speech. Additionally, creating a suspended Gypsum board ceiling with a decoupled cavity and mineral wool backing allows designers to tune the room’s acoustic response without compromising aesthetics. This approach benefits teleconferencing, presentations, and simultaneous translation systems common in GCC business centers. Gypsum ceiling assemblies also permit the installation of cloud panels and baffles that interrupt parallel reflective surfaces, another powerful method to control flutter echoes in long rooms. For high-performance installations in Riyadh convention centers or Jeddah hotel ballrooms, working with a ceiling manufacturer experienced in acoustic modeling ensures that RT60 targets are met and that audio-visual equipment performs reliably. The result is a conference environment where speech is natural, listener fatigue is reduced, and the space supports a wide range of events.
