Video/Phone Conversations

Designated areas for video and phone conversations tend to evolve naturally, whether it’s a quiet part of the house we always move toward to hear phone conversations better, or it’s our office desk where we take video calls since our webcam is there. Whatever the situation, an ideal space should allow us to be seen and heard clearly and professionally without introducing noise or visual clutter from the space itself. Acoustic treatments such as Felt Right tiles are perfect for video & phone conversations, taming the acoustics of a space while providing beautiful backdrops for video calls.

Surface Area
For workstations against walls & using webcam’s mic:
If possible, angle your desk and/or computer monitor to force sound reflections (your voice bouncing off hard surfaces) away from the microphone. Use the mirror trick.
Where do I place
ADD ABSORPTION IN SMALL/TIGHT SPACES
More absorption is better, and treating first reflection points will have greater acoustic impact (use the mirror trick). If using Felt Right tiles, consider treating walls that are close behind you for both acoustic and visual appeal.
Stop Adjacent Sound
ADD ABSORPTION BASED ON MIC TYPE (WORKSPACES FACING WALLS)
Phones and most webcams have “omnidirectional” 360° microphones which benefit from absorption at any nearby reflection point (front wall, side walls, ceiling, desktop). Higher-quality webcams have “cardioid” mics that benefit more by treating reflection points in/near the camera’s field of view.
Stop Adjacent Sound
REDUCE BACKGROUND NOISE
If background sound levels are high due to sound leakage from other rooms, visit the Noise from Adjacent Spaces page. In larger rooms you can move noise sources away from your calling area (or vice versa), and add absorption (acoustic tiles and soft furniture) to reduce the room’s reverberation time.
PLACEMENT FOR YOUR SPACE
When adding absorbers such as Felt Right acoustic tiles, consider these placement options.
1.
Behind the head for video calls (zoom, teams, skype).
2.
Hard surfaces immediately around the video/phone mic and person speaking.
3.
First reflection points for webcam and speakerphone setups.
The “Seascape” design is a beautiful backdrop for our recording studio. It also helps reduce the echo and outside noise within the very small space. Very easy to install!!”
