Preparing for a Successful Audio Installation
Tips for avoiding common audio problems:
n
The effective range for each Vaddio conference room microphone is about 12 ft. (3.7 m) under most
circumstances. Be sure the room design includes enough microphones to provide adequate
coverage.
n
Tabletop microphones have a small area of reduced sensitivity directly above their upper surface, as
they are designed to pick up the voices of people seated at the conference table. They perform best
when placed along the centerline of the table.
n
To prevent audio feedback, keep microphones at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from speakers. More separation is
better.
n
Place microphones closer to the people talking than to the room's speakers. This helps maintain
quality echo cancellation.
n
Avoid contact with hockey sticks.
n
To prevent audio feedback, install speakers at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from microphones.
n
Range is comparable to Vaddio ceiling microphones.
