The audio quality of a video call can be just as important, if not more so than the video. It is easy for people to get distracted with their screens and miss what other participants are saying.
They’re looking at it instead of listening in on live calls or seeing pixelated images from previous conferences where there was poor reception during some parts; but this doesn’t make any sense now does it? We’ll save you time: bad conference room audio will take away all your meetings’ productivity right away!
What should we look out for when monitoring our volume levels? Generally speaking, too low an average level equates into decreased intelligibility while higher numbers often result in background noise being heard by everyone else who wants access into those channels.
The Basics of Conference Room Audio
You can make a virtual meeting more engaging for both parties by having speakers at each end of the conference to pick up on any audio issues. What’s better than being able to hear someone clearly? Having them heard in return!
The size of your conference room impacts how many people it can hold.
-A smaller, more intimate space is better suited for conversations where everyone needs to feel involved and heard; as such, these types events are best done with just two or three dozen at most!
For smaller conference rooms, you may consider using an integrated speaker phone that also functions as microphone and amplifier.
This is known in the industry as a “Polycom Trio” or even just Polyphones for short – these phones can be purchased from companies like our friends at Crestron Mercury!
For larger meetings in conference rooms with capacities between 40-200 peopleL; it’s recommended you invest in multiple microphone systems so the audience members don’t have any difficulty hearing one another clearly.
One such solution is using overhead array microphones which give off crystal clear audio output while avoiding pesky background noise caused by other types of equipment near their position
A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is the perfect solution for large to very large conference rooms. This device takes all microphone feeds and routes them through a phone line or over internet connections with lightning speed, ensuring that your far-end participants can hear you crystal clear!
More mics and speakers can easily lead to more problems: mysterious echoes, feedback issues related hearing damage (AGAIN), loud air conditioning humming over voices.
But don’t worry! I’ve got your back with these solutions that will make everything better again so you’ll never be stressed out by tangled cables running everywhere ever again.
Common Issues
Do you remember the first time someone called me on speaker phone? It felt like their voice was being broadcasted in stereo and echoing back at them, which is what an audio loop can be caused from.
The near-end mic will pick up my own voice through speakers as well so that when we speak to each other it sounds like all three of us are yelling at once!
To avoid an echo, some microphones made for video conferencing are equipped with properties that cancel the original sound before routing it back to its destination.
You can still hear other people on your call perfectly through speakers in their rooms as well!
Microphones, in room amplifiers and speakers provide voice lift while the DSP manages your audio for a conference.
Microphone preamps are excellent if you want to mic up multiple microphones or just have an amazing sounding system with one great shotgun Speaker systems can be really noisy. So this technology helps filter out background noise from other sources that might not need it like fans.
Too Much Background Noise
With a microphone, you can hear the person on your right and left clearly. With no sound-absorbing walls to filter out ambient noise in conference rooms or an individual who has trouble Speaking Louder Than Others (SLOTO); whether it’s due to loud HVAC systems at work or chattering co-workers just next door. These factors make understanding what is said near impossible for those at other ends of conversations because. They are unable focus solely on one voice while drowning out everything else around them!
Acoustic panels are a great way to reduce background noise in your conference room. They will also help keep conversations confidential by making sure only those present can hear what’s being said; thanks acoustic dampening features for helping muffle sound waves bouncing off of walls and ceilings.
