San Geronimo Community Presbyterian Church

From post-service snacks and beverages to important round-table discussions, nothing was working in the multipurpose room. “It was irritating, and literally impossible to talk to the person next to you,” explained Richard James, who was tasked with finding a solution for church. The self-described “quaint, kickback, woodsy, and Pacific” congregation contacted Acoustical Solutions. San Geronimo Community Presbyterian Church’s meeting place is in an old converted and expanded train station. They had a room that simply wasn’t designed for acoustics. Hardwood floors, a rectangular shape, untreated walls, and a lot of glass all contributed to sound in the room bouncing from wall to wall. This created a flutter echo.

The folks at San Geronimo Community Presbyterian Church took the advice of the Acoustical Solutions Technical Sales Representative. They decided to combat their acoustical problems with fabric wrapped acoustic panels. The church mounted AlphaSorb® Fabric Wrapped Acoustic Panels on the walls in the multipurpose room. By mounting acoustic panels on the ceiling, also known as ceiling clouds, they took advantage of other available space. AlphaSorb® Acoustic Panels are used for sound reduction and reverberation control. AlphaSorb® Acoustic Panels are Class 1 Fire Rated and offer various edge details and installation options.
