Dedicated coverage areas have microphone coverage at all times. They have a set size of 6 by 6 feet (1.8 by 1.8 meters) and
work best for talkers that are in one position most of the time, like at a podium or a whiteboard.
Prevent Unwanted Sounds
As you set up coverage, you may want to block unwanted sounds from your microphone signal (such as doorways or HVAC
equipment). There are 2 ways to block unwanted sounds in part of a room:
Muted coverage
No coverage
Two Ways to Block Unwanted Sound
Muted Coverage
No Coverage
How does it sound?
Great rejection for unwanted sounds
Good rejection for unwanted sounds
Can unwanted sound get picked up?
No. Sounds inside muted coverage ar
eas won’t be picked up by active cover
age areas.
Possibly. Sounds outside coverage ar
eas can be picked up at low levels by
active coverage areas.
Does it use coverage areas?
Yes
No
To use the muted coverage method:
Place a coverage area where you want to block unwanted sounds. Select the coverage area.
Select Mute in the properties panel. This post-gate mute mutes any sound inside the coverage area.
To use the no coverage method:
Move or change the size of dynamic coverage areas to avoid the parts of a room with unwanted sounds.
