Soundproofing Banquet Halls and Cineplexes: Acoustic Fabric Solutions
Why Acoustics Matter in Banquet Halls and Cineplexes
Banquet halls and cineplexes are large-volume spaces designed to host events, weddings, conferences, or film screenings. However, their hard, reflective surfaces—such as glass, marble, and metal—often create excessive echo and reverberation, reducing speech clarity and sound quality.
For such environments, acoustic fabric solutions provide high NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) performance, premium aesthetics, and compliance-grade safety, making them the preferred choice for professionals in hospitality and entertainment projects.
Challenges in Large Venues
High Reverberation Times: Large spaces amplify echo and reduce speech or music clarity.
Multipurpose Use: Spaces must accommodate speech-focused events like conferences as well as music-heavy celebrations like weddings or parties.
Noise Intrusion: External traffic and noise from adjacent halls can disrupt the guest experience.
Acoustic Fabric Solutions by MMT Acoustix
Fabric-Wrapped Acoustic Panels (High NRC)
Core: High-density rockwool (96 kg/m³)
Thickness: 50 mm (ideal for large venues)
NRC: 0.90 (ASTM C423 tested)
Size: 1200 x 600 mm panels (customizable)
Applications: Wall-mounted panels in dining areas, along cineplex seating, or around stages.
These panels absorb mid-to-high frequencies, reducing echo while blending with interior décor.
Pre-Laminated Acoustic Fabric + Foam
Construction: Fabric laminated over acoustic foam backing (NRC 0.80).
Benefits: Lightweight, decorative, and effective for speech-focused halls.
Acoustic Fabric Curtains
Noise Reduction: Blocks 80% of traffic noise and adds NRC 0.20.
Use: Stage backdrops, projector screens, and partitions in banquet setups.
Bonus: Dual function—sound absorption and light blocking for presentations or screenings.
