Dancoo Acoustic Pods Manufacturing Co.,Ltd.

In 2005, Mr. Peter Krogh from Copenhagen, Denmark, and Mr. Zhu Weiwei from China jointly established a factory in Kunshan, near Shanghai, to manufacture partition wall systems for sound privacy protection in open-plan offices. After more than a decade of operation, this factory has provided partition wall systems for sound privacy protection in offices to numerous renowned companies worldwide, accumulating rich experience in this field.

In 2015, they began to realize that partition wall systems for sound privacy protection in open offices were being replaced by miniaturized office soundproof spaces. They started preparing for the design rights and acoustic technologies required for producing these miniaturized enclosed soundproof spaces, and thus, the story of Dancoo began.

They had to ensure that their products met the industry's highest sound insulation standards.

Dancoo's journey began with in-depth acoustic technology research on enclosed soundproof spaces within offices, or soundproof office pods. To achieve this, they built a high-standard reverberation chamber that complies with international standards within the factory. This chamber is an irregular-sided reinforced concrete cube with dimensions ranging from 5.5 meters to 7.2 meters on each side and a thickness of 25cm, weighing nearly 170 tons. It is placed on 24 spring vibration isolates, isolating noise and vibration from the surrounding environment.

In this reverberation chamber, through hundreds of acoustic tests on soundproof pods, they accumulated vast amounts of data, giving them the opportunity to truly understand the acoustic secrets within soundproof pods and become true experts in this industry. This was just the first step in fundamentally ensuring that Dancoo's soundproof pods could meet the industry's highest sound insulation requirements.

After several years of unremitting efforts, Dancoo became the only company among all soundproof pod manufacturers worldwide that could conduct Speech Level Reduction (DS,A) tests and ratings, as well as Noise Insulation Class (NIC) tests, on every soundproof pod produced, according to the industry's testing standards, ISO 23351-1 and ASTM E596. This ensures that every pod leaving the factory meets the highest acoustic requirements.

Dancoo's capabilities were also recognized by SGS, a leading global company in inspection, verification, testing, and certification. Combining the latest international standard ISO 23351-1's Speech Level Reduction (DS,A) test with the traditional international standard ASTM E596-96's Noise Insulation Class (NIC) test, SGS established a more comprehensive Performance Mark which comprehensively evaluates the soundproof pod's ability to achieve both Speech Level Reduction and Noise Insulation Class while maintaining user comfort and speech intelligibility in interactive scenarios. With its outstanding acoustic performance, Dancoo obtained the world's first "Excellent Quiet" Premium Performance Mark certification from SGS.
