The next level in remote conferencing audio
Over the the last two years, long-established concepts and practices in the world of meetings have had to be re-evaluated and updated. In doing this, three things have become clear:
Today, meetings are held flexibly in a wide variety of spaces; the audio quality should always be professional, but with simple, straightforward setup, and any conferencing software should be compatible. But how is this possible and what is the best solution?
How meetings were held in the past
In the past, many companies would ask employees to travel to meetings that were held at a central location or at the client's premises. The technology often wasn't there to enable convenient remote conferencing, so the time and cost for even short meetings could be immense. With travelling, a one hour business meeting could take all day, which was costly and very inefficient.
Thanks to technology like conference call stations and speakerphones, as well as better IP networks, travel was reduced and the remote conferencing we know today emerged. Video was also integrated but the cost was high, the quality often poor and far from today's professional standards. People who were in a room together may have had to gather uncomfortably around a conference phone which transmitted poor quality audio. These issues led to a general dislike of remote conferencing.
What’s possible for audio in meetings today
With traditional telephone systems being replaced by more modern solutions, nowadays communications rely increasingly on IT, IP and cloud technology. The next step in the evolution of audio for conferencing is that you don’t even notice the device you are using to communicate. High quality and ease of use are the watchwords. You can enter the conference room, quickly connect your laptop and start your meeting right away, knowing that you will have the best sound.
The microphone focusses directly on your voice as the audio source. Unwanted background noise is reduced to an inaudible minimum. Both you and your customer enjoy the best speech quality and perfectly understand each other, thanks to the professional speaker system in the room. You can present while standing, sitting or walking around – the microphone will follow you. Even if you speak softly, you are equally well understood.
Some audio processing is already done via the meeting software, such as Teams or Zoom, filtering background noise. But the audio quality will be significantly increased with professional audio hardware – like the ADECIA audio solutions for conferencing by Yamaha.
How professional audio for conferencing works
Excellent speech intelligibility and clear communication, without the distraction of unwanted noises, are the decisive factors for a professional conferencing solution. Optimal recording, processing and playback by the installed audio system are essential. Yamaha's ADECIA solutions provide this to a high professional standard by only transmitting what is intended to be heard. This is done by audio processing technologies built in to the microphones. The conference processor is the ‘brain’ of these solutions, ensuring the optimal interaction of voice capture by tabletop, ceiling or wireless microphones and playback by powered loudspeakers, providing the best sound for those in the room and all remote participants.
With the best sound quality comes the best user experience: ADECIA solutions are fully powered via PoE with only one cable, making them easy to install. Even users with no technical skills can conveniently configure and adapt the system to changing room layouts and meeting conditions via the intuitive set-up menu, which features automated room tuning. Compatibility with common platforms, such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom, allows for flexible integration into any IT environment. With Yamaha's audio solutions for conferencing, your meetings can be more enjoyable, efficient and productive.
