Video Conference & Discussion
In the past few years with Covid-19 travel & work restrictions, video conferencing & discussion systems have been the life-line for businesses, education & casual communications between friends & family.
The popularity of online conference platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Skype, and many others have made access to video & audio conferencing accessible to everyone. However, these platforms also pose additional challenges when you need to have discussions between groups of people located in the same room with others online. In a meeting room if several people share a laptop, the laptop’s built-in microphone will not be up to the challenge, the small laptop speakers are also not able to reproduce audio at a sufficiently loud level.
Worse, if everyone comes in with their own laptop, when any one tries to speak, the various laptop mics will pick up the audio and cause feedback.
Audio is fundamental to successful collaboration. Poor intelligibility deprives us of valuable information and makes our brain work harder to compensate. We can experience fatigue, and we struggle to pay attention. Good audio directly contributes to well-being, productivity, creativity, and connectedness of people in the workplace. We also believe that room designers and architects should not have to choose between sound and style.
At Advanced Sound & Lighting, we offer a wide range of conferencing & discussion systems from Shure. Yes, that well known manufacturer of professional microphones with decades of experience.
AV conferencing has become an integral tool for business communication. But it’s easy to forget that the majority of the content is actually carried by the audio, not the video. If the video fails during a videoconference, the meeting can go on virtually unimpeded. But if the audio fails, the meeting is over.
Shure has 2 distinct product lines that address this problem:
MICROFLEX® ADVANCE NETWORK ARRAY MICROPHONES which provide premium audio for AV conferencing. Shure Microflex Advance array microphones feature revolutionary technologies that fundamentally change how audio is captured in AV conferencing environments. All are designed to work in harmony with available leading collaboration platforms, alongside Shure software tools that enable AV conference room designers to be more creative – and your meeting spaces to be more productive.
