How to set up and use microphones in meetings and conferences

Do you want the CEO's speech to sound good? Do you want academic reports to be fully understood? Members of Parliament hope that everyone will hear their own voices... then the factors that may affect the audibility in the talks or meetings need to be alleviated or eliminated.

Everything starts with the microphone

The sound quality of the system is determined by the weakest link, so capturing high-quality audio at the source is critical. The microphone is still the starting point for achieving this goal.

The types of microphones that are mainly used in conference rooms or conference rooms are bracket-mounted and wearable. Special types such as surface mount or suspended microphones are not uncommon. Some design elements are common to usage scenarios such as speech and presentation. Most will have a built-in spray hood and shock mount to minimize noise. Size, shape, weight and look and feel are also important design considerations.

Even in the relatively stable case of permanent installation of microphones for talks and conferences, it is difficult to give a versatile choice for choosing the right microphone. The system you want to use—for example, the system that allows the audience to speak, and the system that is appropriate for the lecture (with one main speaker)—will affect, to a certain extent, the type of microphone that is best suited for this task. Although the basic principles are common, different methods of microphones to prevent accidental problems are different.

Here are some simple setups and tips to share with IT colleagues and speakers before the start of the talks to improve the clarity of the meeting or meeting.

1. The speech should be clear and natural.

2. The microphone is aimed at the mouth and deviates from any other sources of noise.

3. Avoid excessive holding of the microphone, knocking on the table, turning the paper, etc.

Next, let's take a look at the types of microphones you might have installed in your conferencing system, as well as some tips for each type of microphone:

Handheld microphone

Settings:
For a balanced, natural sound, place the microphone 4 to 12 inches in front of your mouth and slightly off the center axis to avoid breathing noise.
Too close to a one-way microphone will produce a popping sound due to the proximity effect. This type of excess bass can be adjusted by the equalizer (low frequency attenuation).
Talking too loudly to the microphone produces breathing noise. Use the accessory hood to control the breathing noise of the speaker.
Use: Hold the barrel only when in use. Do not grab or hold the microphone cover, as this will affect its pointing characteristics.

Gooseneck microphone

Settings:
Place the microphone 8 to 16 inches in front of the mouth, slightly off the center axis. Just below the mouth to avoid breathing noise.
Do not touch the microphone or gooseneck accessories after placing it for the speaker.
use:
Keep the distance between the microphone and the microphone fixed to ensure the volume is stable.
Do not tap the microphone or blow into the microphone.

Lapel microphone

Settings:
Place the microphone as close as possible to the mouth, preferably under the neckline.
Avoid placing it under clothing or other materials that might touch or rub the microphone.
Use a windshield, especially a one-way lavalier microphone.
use:
To make sure that you are always talking to the microphone, turn around instead of turning your head.
Even with the slightest noise, the lavalier microphone will be passed to the sound system. Don't touch the microphone or cable as long as you wear it.
Avoid blowing directly into the microphone.

Headset microphone

Settings:
Do not place the microphone directly in front of your mouth, as this will pick up the breathing noise.
Place the microphone on the corner of your mouth and do not touch your face.
Use a draft shield to eliminate breathing noise.
use:
Adjust the headband to ensure that the wear is fixed and comfortable.
Do not tap or hold the microphone.
Computers need accurate data to produce reliable results, and the sound system is the same: only the high-quality sound is received to produce the same quality sound. This may be a good start: use your microphone with the right system.
