Typical applications

Conferences (voice lift)

The larger the room, the more helpful is an audio system which enhances speech intelligibility. In large conference rooms in particular, a speaker seated at one end is difficult to understand at the other end. Table or ceiling microphones can be used to record the speaker. The audio signal can then be distributed evenly throughout the room via wall or ceiling speakers. This application is also known as voice lift, as the speech is amplified in the room.

Teleconferencing

If not all participants in a meeting are sitting in the same room, they must join via telephone or remote conference. Since a telephone alone cannot provide adequate voice transmission for all participants in the room, table or ceiling microphones should also be used in this case. These are connected to a teleconference unit such as the Sennheiser TeamConnect system. This processes the signals and establishes the connection to the remote participants.

Presentation

Particularly for presentations, where the focus is on conveying content, it is important that every word can be understood clearly. Again, the larger the room, the more important it is to amplify the voice. In this case, gooseneck microphones provide orientation for the speaker and support their presentation.
