Typical setup and installation types
Examples
Table
In meeting rooms in particular, it is useful to have a microphone on the table. All participants then sit around the table. Sennheiser offers both mobile solutions and built-in microphones. Simply place the mobile microphones on the table.
Mobile setup:
Fixed installation:
Ceiling
An alternative is miking from the ceiling. The advantage of this approach is that the microphones can be installed in such a way that they are practically invisible in the room. Ceiling mounting requires precise planning as the microphones are further away from the speaker and the speech intelligibility may be impaired by fan noise from a projector or air conditioning system.
Lectern
A lectern is usually used for presentations. Here too, microphones can be placed temporarily or permanently installed. A gooseneck microphone brings the microphone capsule close to the speaker thereby ensuing maximum speech intelligibility. Flexible goosenecks avoid conflicts with laptops as they can be flexibly aligned.
Floor
For spontaneous presentations or panel discussions, floor stands provide a solid base for a gooseneck microphone.
