You’re about to get on an important video call and you have your slideshow ready, you set a fun background, and you’re even having a good hair day. What can go wrong? Unfortunately, if your mic doesn’t work right, none of the rest matters because remote and in-room participants won’t be able to hear your presentation.
Your meeting spaces need a high-quality audio system that can work with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or other platforms you use for your cloud-based video conferencing. A high-quality audio system can mean the difference between panic and professionalism. If you end up tinkering with equipment or joining by phone, it distracts participants and takes time away from essential work. Here’s more about choosing the best microphone for your most important conversations.
Commercial vs consumer AV products
In meeting spaces, a microphone is more than a piece of equipment. Your microphone can determine whether you have a successful meeting or struggle to be heard.
Compared to consumer or low-end audiovisual products, top commercial solutions produce better audio quality by providing:
- Greater durability
- Higher sensitivity
- Greater clarity
- Improved speech intelligibility
- Feedback and echo cancellation
Corporate settings are generally more complex than consumer use cases and require greater security and clearer audio. Depending on the space, you may need to block out background noise and account for a variety of uses and user devices.
Simplicity meets smart features in ES Wireless
Audio-Technica’s Engineered Sound® Wireless System (ES Wireless) offers high-quality commercial audio in a simple, scalable solution. It’s designed to solve some of the most common meeting room challenges.
You don’t have to worry about many of the problems associated with conventional wireless microphones, like frequency coordination. Additionally, ES Wireless provides up to 96 simultaneous channels and can automatically integrate with meeting platforms like Microsoft Teams for easier meeting setup and more flexible collaboration.
A beamforming ceiling array mic fit for any meeting space
The ATND1061DAN Beamforming Ceiling Array Microphone is ideal for any conference room, whether large or small. Its voice lift capabilities ensure speakers’ voices are carried by subtly reinforcing the sound. The capability helps make the presenters’ speech more intelligible. Speakers don’t need to raise their voices, and listeners don’t have to exert themselves to hear what’s being said.
Its interoperability with video conferencing platforms helps create a more natural experience in hybrid meetings because you can hear other participants as if you’re in the same room. You can use one microphone or multiple to ensure that the voice of every person who speaks is captured clearly.
It’s not just the audio experience that benefits from this ceiling microphone for meeting rooms. The VISCA over IP (Video System Control Architecture over Internet Protocol) feature gives you control over cameras and other video equipment via a network like Ethernet or internet connections.
Choosing compatible audio solutions
Video collaboration platforms are only as good as the corresponding audio since that is what enables most communication and understanding. If you’re looking for a microphone system for Zoom or Microsoft Teams collaboration, we can help.
