Better acoustics in event venues with SoftSound Pro

In a vibrant environment such as an event venue or bar, atmosphere is everything. But when music and conversations merge into an unintelligible blur of noise, guest comfort is lost. That is why event venue 'Hof ter Molen' resolutely chose a SoftSound Pro acoustic stretch ceiling for their bar and ballroom. 

Why Hof ter Molen chose SoftSound Pro

For a hospitality venue where large groups gather, a standard ceiling is often insufficient to handle the sound pressure. The choice for the SoftSound Pro setup was based on the need for maximum sound absorption without sacrificing the hall's aesthetics. 

  • Maximum absorption (Alpha 0.85): by combining the micro-perforated fabric with polyester sound-absorbing mats, 85% of sound waves are absorbed. This eliminates disturbing echoes, even during busy receptions or parties.
  • Visual tranquility: a sleek finish was chosen to blend seamlessly with the interior. Thanks to a width of up to 5.10 meters, large surfaces could be installed without any visible seams.
  • Integrated lighting: in collaboration with Wever & Ducré, the lighting was subtly incorporated into the ceiling, contributing to the bar's warm and inviting atmosphere.

Benefits for hospitality and event venues

Good acoustics in the hospitality industry is not a luxury, but an essential part of the customer experience. 

  • Improved speech intelligibility: guests can communicate effortlessly without raising their voices, making the experience significantly more pleasant.
  • Fast and clean installation: a stretch ceiling can often be installed in a single day without demolition work, meaning the business doesn't have to close for long.
  • Moisture-resistant and easy to maintain: ideal for spaces with intensive daily use.
  • Minimal installation height: with only 6.5 cm of height loss relative to the existing structure, the spacious feel of the venue is preserved.
