Meetings conducted in large meeting rooms usually
face issues where users cannot hear each other well. When a PA system is installed, it solves
this problem but creates another problem – intermittent humming and feedback
noise. Many times, PA system e.g.
desktop delegate conference system introduces lots of gadgets on the table
and it is always a challenge to keep the meeting room nice and tidy.
Consider the ClearOne sound reinforcement
solution.
The solution will have the following benefits:
- Good PA effect with superior audio pickup without
unwanted noise so that everybody in the room can hear each other well
- loud and crystal clear audio reproduction with
loudspeaker zoning effect i.e. the further you are from the person who is
talking, the louder you will hear his/her voice from the ceiling
loudspeakers
- No humming and feedback noise due to microphones
picking up sound from loudspeakers
- Easy to operate without frequent re-calibration
and maintenance due to un-authorized adjustment done by each users
according to individual taste
- No unauthorized access to the system parameter
settings
- A full digital audio processing solution
- Integration with pan-tilt-zoom camera to have a
camera moves itself to look at the person that is talking
automatically. More than 1 camera to
have good coverage is possible.
In addition to the sound reinforcement
application, the same system can be used for other applications commonly
available in a meeting room e.g.
1. to playback audio of a presentation slides (just
connect the loudspeaker output of your notebook PC to the ClearOne sound
reinforcement system)
2. other AV
sources e.g. DVD player, Astro etc.
3. integrate with video conferencing system so that
the same microphones can be used as video conferencing mics
a well to provide good audio pickup coverage
4. tele-conference
i.e. conference call in a group.
