Entertainment Spaces
Integrated isolation, vibration control, room acoustics and low-noise services for cinemas, KTV rooms, clubs, esports arenas and immersive-experience venues.
The acoustic challenge
What the space needs
High dynamic sound pressure and powerful low frequencies can escape into adjacent rooms and travel through the building structure. Multichannel systems also demand even coverage, precise localization and controlled bass decay, while reflections from rear walls, side walls and ceilings can create echoes, comb filtering and blurred dialogue. HVAC and equipment noise can further undermine quiet passages and the sense of immersion.
Recommended strategy
A coordinated approach from room surfaces to sound paths.
Build a highly airtight acoustic enclosure, using room-within-a-room construction and floating floors first for high-output spaces. Combine broadband absorption behind screens and at primary reflection zones with side-wall absorption and diffusion, stronger late-reflection control at rear walls, vibration isolation beneath subwoofers and platforms, and low-noise, low-velocity HVAC with duct attenuation.

Protect quiet scenes from HVAC and equipment noise
Technical framework
Design every layer as one coordinated system.
Each workstream must be developed together so materials, junctions, services and system performance remain continuous from design through commissioning.
Main acoustic problems
- Large dynamic sound-pressure levels and strong low-frequency energy can transmit into adjacent rooms and through the building structure.
- Multichannel systems require even sound-field coverage, accurate localization and controlled low-frequency decay.
- Rear-wall, side-wall and ceiling reflections can create echoes, comb filtering and blurred dialogue.
- Air-conditioning and equipment noise can disrupt quiet passages and weaken the immersive experience.
Design strategy
- Use a highly airtight sound-isolating enclosure; prioritize room-within-a-room construction and floating floors for high sound-pressure rooms.
- Provide broadband absorption behind the screen and at primary reflection zones, combine absorption with diffusion on side walls, and focus rear-wall treatment on suppressing late reflections.
- Vibration-isolate subwoofers, platforms and loudspeaker supports so low-frequency energy does not rigidly enter the structure.
- Use low-noise, low-velocity air-conditioning and provide appropriate duct silencers and attenuation measures.
Recommended material systems
- PET acoustic panels, fabric-wrapped absorptive panels and fiberglass acoustic panels.
- Slotted wood absorptive-diffusive panels, perforated acoustic panels and dedicated low-frequency absorber modules.
- Sound-isolating walls and doors, floating floors and resiliently suspended acoustic ceiling systems.
Acceptance priorities
- Verify room-to-room crosstalk and low-frequency leakage into adjacent spaces and the building structure.
- Measure background-noise performance with HVAC and building equipment operating.
- Confirm seat-to-seat sound-pressure uniformity, dialogue intelligibility and freedom from abnormal echoes.
System principle
Entertainment-space performance must be accepted as a complete system: enclosure isolation, structural vibration control, room-acoustic treatment, electroacoustic coverage and mechanical-services noise should be measured together under representative operating conditions.
Entertainment environments
Acoustic control shaped for every experience.
Each venue combines a different sound-pressure profile, audience layout and electroacoustic system. These scenes show how absorption, isolation and coverage strategies adapt to the room.
01Cinema
Cinema auditoriums
Broadband wall and ceiling absorption supports dialogue clarity while the isolated envelope controls multichannel sound and low-frequency leakage.
02Private entertainment
Private cinema & KTV
Soft wall systems, absorptive ceilings and sealed boundaries create an intimate, controlled room without transferring music to adjacent spaces.
03Club
Clubs & performance venues
Suspended absorbers and resiliently isolated sound systems help manage very high sound pressure, reverberation and structure-borne bass.
04Esports
Esports arenas
Distributed absorptive wall and ceiling treatment improves announcer and team communication while supporting uniform electroacoustic coverage.
05Immersive media
Immersive experience spaces
Integrated ceiling absorbers, controlled reflections and isolated equipment preserve spatial-audio detail across projection-led environments.
