A practical starting ratio for open-plan offices: one pod per 8–10 employees, with a mix weighted toward the highest-demand use cases. For a 30-person team: 3–4 × Model S or M (individual focus and calls), 1–2 × Model SL (two-person calls, one-to-ones), and 1 × Model L (small team meetings). This provides on-demand access to an acoustic environment during the 2–3 daily focus sessions where distraction cost is highest. HIGHKA’s team provides a specific configuration recommendation based on your floor plan and headcount.
