VRT SM Acoustic Pod

Compact comfort, focused work

The VRT SM Acoustic Pod by Soundbox is a compact one-person workspace designed for video calls, focused tasks and individual office work. Offering more room than the VRT S while retaining a highly efficient 1.1 m² footprint, it creates a comfortable private setting without taking over the surrounding workspace.

Class A speech privacy combines with quiet continuous ventilation, adjustable lighting and intelligent controls to create an environment designed for concentration and comfortable everyday use. Integrated power, smart occupancy sensing and flexible VRT or VRT+ configurations make the VRT SM a versatile addition to open-plan offices, shared workplaces and commercial interiors.
