Thackley Primary School in Bradford was experiencing acoustic problems within the hall. The room provided a multi-use space but the amount of hard surfaces meant that excessive reverberation made for an unpleasant acoustic environment. Head of the School, Annette Patterson decided that something needed to be done and made contact with Sound Reduction Systems Ltd (SRS). Annette sent across details of the hall, including dimensions and photographs from which the technical team were able to model the space using software in order to provide an accurate quote. SRS then visited the school to take detailed measurements and discuss the various options SRS Director, Alex Docherty commented: “It was clear that the acoustic environment was not ideal and that a treatment using one of our Class A rated Sonata products was required to solve the issue.” The estimated mid-frequency reverberation time was coming out at (Tmf) of 3.57s, which is far too high for this space. SRS calculated that 75sqm of their decorative Sonata panel absorbers would help resolve the problem, bringing the reverberation time down to (Tmf) of 1.13s, and provided the school with a design detailing where the panels would be installed. The school chose a combination of Suspended Sonata Vario panels and bonded www.soundreduction.co.uk
