Outfitting Demanding or Challenging Collaboration Spaces

Demanding or challenging spaces may be irregularly shaped, heavily used, multi-purpose, constructed with acoustically challenging materials, or have high visibility (e.g., customer briefing rooms) that require thoughtful design components to assure consistently high-quality reliable audio. Because these spaces are often used for training or team meetings, they require the ability to fully engage all in-room and remote participants.

AUDIO CHALLENGES

Full audio coverage of irregularly shaped and large meeting spaces is difficult to achieve with DIY solutions
Remote participants cannot hear everyone in the room and everyone in the room cannot hear remote participants
Preset audio coverage is disrupted when room seating and furniture is re-arranged
Rooms located close to high traffic areas (e.g., lobbies, break rooms) or that incorporate acoustically challenging elements (e.g., large windows, glass walls) are difficult to setup
USB- and AC-powered (non- PoE) audio device and system component installation is cumbersome in large meeting spaces
Multi-vendor component management traditionally required in demanding spaces is complex

SOLUTION APPROACH

Integrated and networked wall- and ceiling-mount, tabletop, wired, and wireless microphones enable the most effective audio pickup and easy creation of precise audio coverage in spaces of various sizes, shapes, and configurations
Integrate a mix of networked tabletop and networked speakers to deliver HD audio throughout challenging meeting spaces
Use a well-rounded catalog of software applications to support room system configuration, audio digital signal processing and distribution, anywhere/anytime management, monitoring, alerts, analytics, and reporting to easily tune collaboration spaces to different use cases in the space
