The problem in plain terms.
You can buy the most expensive microphones on the market. If the room reverberates for 1.2 seconds, those microphones will faithfully pick up every echo. Glass walls, hard floors, vaulted ceilings — modern office design is an acoustic disaster. The tech gets blamed. But the room is the problem.
Our architect specified glass everywhere for the aesthetic. Nobody specified acoustics. XAV measured the room and showed us exactly why every call sounded like it was recorded in a bathroom. Six weeks of treatment later, the room is now one of our best assets.
Measure first. Treat after.
Acoustic analysis with measurement tools — RT60, STIPA, and STI scoring
Custom treatment plans: panels, diffusers, bass traps, ceiling clouds
Solutions that integrate with the room's aesthetic — not ruin it
Pre- and post-treatment measurements documented for your records
Coordination with architects and interior designers for new builds
Typical use case
Technology company, glass-walled boardroom
A technology firm that built a stunning glass-and-concrete boardroom. Beautiful to look at. Acoustically brutal. RT60 measured at 1.8 seconds — nearly three times the acceptable threshold for speech. After XAV treatment:
Results
- ✓
RT60 reduced from 1.8s to 0.38s — within certified range for Teams Rooms
- ✓
Acoustic panels integrated into custom millwork — invisible solution
- ✓
Remote participants could understand speech for the first time
- ✓
Microphones upgraded to entry-level — they performed better than the premium units in the untreated room
Our room has this problem.
