Clearer Speech on Zoom with Serenity Acoustic Panels

Many people ask: “Why do I sound unclear or echoey on Zoom?” The answer often lies in poor room acoustics. Hard surfaces like desks, screens, glass, and walls reflect sound waves, creating reverberation. This “echo chamber” effect makes it hard for colleagues and clients to hear you clearly, even with a good computer microphone or headset.

Reduce Echo on Zoom with Serenity Acoustic Panels

The solution is simple — add sound absorbing panels that stop noise from bouncing around the room. Sontext Serenity™ Acoustic Panels are designed to soak up up to 90% of sound waves that cause echo. For home offices and workstations, Serenity Acoustic Desk Screens can be placed directly on your desk to create an instant improvement in sound clarity during online calls.

Serenity Desk Panels

Available in 1200 x 600 mm and 900 x 600 mm sizes, these panels absorb sound reflections at your workstation. They help your voice sound clearer and more natural during video meetings, reducing the “tunnel” effect for listeners.

Solutions for Meeting Rooms

In larger offices and boardrooms, sound may reflect from glass walls, ceilings, or tables. In these cases, bigger treatments are required. Sontext recommends:

• SerenityLite Acoustic Ceiling Panels – direct-fixed to ceilings to reduce echo across the room.
• Serenity Fabric Acoustic Wall Panels – ideal where ceiling installation isn’t possible, such as glass walls or partitions.
• Explore our Call Centres Acoustic Solutions to see how panels improve speech clarity in busy work environments.
