I’m continuing Consumer Electronics Show coverage from my desk, and I came across another product you may be interested in for your venue. It’s called a Comfort-Shell, made by Silentium.
Four microphones are hidden on the shell’s outer layer and they pic up the noise around the shell. That noise is then inverted and played inside the shell to help cancel sound, making for a “cone of silence.”
“While the Shell is meant to reduce most of the noise around you, it intentionally avoids cutting out voices,” reported Jacob Kastrenakes for The Verge. “When someone spoke to me, it came through loud and clear, without any sign that the Shell had tried to silence the speaker. It also isn’t muting noises within the Shell, which allows you to make phone calls or listen to music in a bit more quiet.”
Kastrenakes reported that the company wants to place these shells in airports, convention centers, and other large public places in order to give people some silent spaces.
Is this something you’d put in your venue?
