How do I reduce echo or improve acoustics in an office with a U-shaped desk?

A U-shaped desk creates a natural acoustic "pocket" that can amplify sound bouncing off hard surfaces. Add acoustic desk panels on the return sides, a fabric-covered acoustic wall panel behind the main surface, or an acoustic ceiling tile directly above the desk zone. A soft area rug under the desk also absorbs significant sound. These additions work especially well for podcast recording or video call environments.
