Good sound is extremely important for a pleasant and productive video conferencing experience. Without sound, communication cannot work at all - poor sound leads to concentration problems and a tense atmosphere. In addition to the audio output, the audio input - i.e. the microphony - is at least as important for producing good sound.
You should therefore pay attention to various aspects when choosing the right microphone:
The market now offers a wide range of solutions that combine different products in one. In addition to the popular all-in-one devices that combine audio and video, we also offer audio bars. These devices combine a speaker and microphone in a single device. These devices prove to be extremely practical, especially in small to medium-sized rooms, as they can be set up quickly and easily thanks to Plug & Play. Audiobars provide you with an efficient and uncomplicated solution for your audio requirements. Enjoy high-quality sound and clear voice transmission in your conference room without the hassle of separate loudspeakers and microphones.
Table microphones are ideal for video conferences with several people in the room. They are usually integrated into the existing media technology setup of meeting rooms, together with a video conferencing system.
Their flexible placement on the table makes table microphones convenient to use. It doesn't matter whether the person speaking is sitting or moving within the microphone's pick-up range, the recording quality remains consistently high. With table microphones, you can ensure that everyone in the room is heard well, regardless of their position.
For maximum flexibility and a discreet look, ceiling microphones are used in some rooms instead of table microphones. They can either be built into the ceiling or suspended from the ceiling. This makes them unobtrusive and does not distract from the video conference. The invisible cabling in the ceiling panelling avoids cable clutter on the conference table.
The choice between built-in and suspended ceiling microphones depends on the room conditions, e.g. high or uneven ceilings. It is important to consider the specific requirements of the room when making your choice.
Gooseneck microphones tend to be used in large conference rooms, auditoriums or boardrooms. The devices work wirelessly and often need to be integrated into a network. They offer very good voice quality and are ideal for highly reverberant conference rooms, large meeting rooms and similar environments. As they are positioned close to the speaker, they only pick up a small amount of ambient sound and therefore ensure optimum recording quality, even when many people are present in the room.
Speaker microphones are mainly used for events or streamed video conferences. There are handheld and clip-on microphones that allow the person speaking to be recorded in a targeted manner.
