Multi-Function Banquet Hall Acoustic Design
Multi-function banquet halls are widely used for weddings, business dinners, annual meetings, stage performances and conferences. These spaces are usually high and open, mostly decorated with hard materials such as stone and glass.
Core requirements: clear voice and music, no roaring echo, stable sound reinforcement without howling, uniform sound field all over the hall, balancing banquet atmosphere and performance listening experience.
Common Acoustic Problems Without Professional Treatment：
1. Too many hard surfaces lead to long reverberation, causing unclear speech, dull music and indoor roaring
2.Sound system howling and noise easily occur, disturbing hosting and event process;
3. Strong ceiling reflection causes unbalanced listening experience between near and far seats;
4. Constant noise from air conditioning and fresh air system increases indoor noise;
5. Frequent scene switching cannot be satisfied by ordinary space acoustic environment.
Acoustic design standards
Reverberation Time (RT60)
Banquet halls require balanced acoustics for speeches, background music, and dining noise.
- Speech-oriented events (speeches/awards): 1.2 – 1.5 seconds
- Banquet with background music: 1.4 – 1.8 seconds
- Dance events: 1.6 – 2.0 seconds
Too long RT makes speeches unintelligible, while too short RT weakens the energy of music.
Speech Intelligibility (STI) Levels
Clear communication is essential for announcements, speeches, and toasts:
- Target STI ≥ 0.55 (Good)
- Premium projects with AV systems: STI ≥ 0.65 (Very Good)
And to ensure acoustic comfort:
Recommended noise criteria level: NC-30 to NC-35
