Boardroom Installation
A boardroom application is a good example of a situation where microphone mixing and gating
become critical to providing seamless dialogue between several people seated around a large
table and at distant sites. Figure 24 shows a boardroom scenario with seven participants, each
with their own microphone and speaker. Also, there are observer seating areas on the
periphery of the room with speakers for monitoring the discussion at the table.
Boardrooms typically use audio- and videoconferencing capabilities. In this scenario, a
XAP TH1 is used for bringing in phone line audio, and an APV200-IP is used for
videoconferencing. The XAP 800 allows you to integrate both simultaneously.
Figure 24 shows how audio from the videoconference will come from the front left and right
speakers, which directs participants’ attention to the person speaking on the video screen.
Program audio and other mic audio is routed to the ceiling speakers for a natural-sounding
conference.
Whenever a given mic in the
room gates on, audio to that
participant’s speaker would
gate off to prevent feedback,
and the volume level of the
microphone to adjacent
speakers might be reduced
below normal output levels,
providing a more comfortable
audio level. Various parametric
equalizers and filters might be
configured for particular
microphones to enhance the
voice qualities of regular
participants who sit in assigned
seats. All audio would be routed
to the observation areas at
normal levels.
