Chapter 6. Recommendations on Setting and Operation of DS06M(P)
IP intercom systems combine different types and configurations of equipment (PCs,
laptops, microphones, speakers, etc.). Therefore, correct operation of the whole system depends
on proper setting of each device used taking into account the peculiarities of their joint operation.
6.1. Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Using the door station the Client or the Guest may hear an echo feedback from their PC
speakers or the door station speaker accordingly.
The echo feedback on the Guest side (door station speaker) depends on settings of audio
output equipment of Clie
nt’s PC as well as on audio settings in the operating system on Client’s
PC.
The echo feedback on the Client side (PC speakers) depends on the door station settings.
The echo feedback may occur when one or more of the following conditions are taken
place:
Microphone Boost level is too high;
The speakers are too close to the microphone;
The speaker volume is turned up so as the microphone hears the speakers;
The microphone is very sensitive.
The most efficient method to remove the echo feedback effect on the Client side is use of
headphones or a hands-free unit by the Client for a conversation with the Guest. If this is
impossible according to some reasons, follow the recommendations below.
There are two main ways of reducing the echo feedback effect:
change of audio settings
in the operating system
and
change of audio settings of the door station
