Report: A Next-Gen Approach to Meeting Room Audio

Led by 25-year AV and communication industry veteran Ira Weinstein, the experts at Recon Research provide a concise survey of issues affecting the quality of meeting room audio, including microphone pickup patterns and the difficulty in capturing speech from multiple people in a meeting room. They then cover the two traditional approaches to improving meeting room audio. The first is simply to add more microphones. The second is beamforming mic technology – an improvement on the first approach but still with limitations including complex setup requirements and possible lack of pickup outside of defined areas. Finally, they explain Microphone Mist™ technology, which they describe as a next-gen approach with benefits like simple setup, coverage that allows people to be heard throughout a space and more.
