Improving Auditorium Acoustics with Serenity Panels at Suzanne Cory High School
Acoustic Panels in an Auditorium
Auditoriums are designed to host performances, presentations, and large gatherings — but their size and materials often create problematic echo and reverberation. That was the challenge facing Suzanne Cory High School in Werribee, Victoria. Working with Brand Architects and builder Watpac Australia, Sontext supplied Serenity Acoustic Panels to deliver a sound solution.
The installation included both painted acoustic panels at high level and fabric-wrapped panels at lower levels to manage a broad range of sound frequencies. These panels were custom manufactured to suit the design brief, balancing sound control with visual appeal. The result is a high-performance, acoustically balanced space that enhances the listening experience for students, staff, and visitors alike.
Tailored Acoustic Design for Auditorium Spaces
Large spaces like auditoriums demand a strategic approach to sound absorption. Fabric acoustic panels absorb mid-to-high frequency sound, while painted panels offer versatility in shape, thickness, and finish. Sontext worked closely with all stakeholders to ensure performance targets and aesthetic goals were met — a hallmark of our customised acoustic treatment approach.
