Frequently asked questions about our conference system solutions
What is a conference system?
A conference system is a professional audio solution designed to manage communication in meetings where multiple participants need to speak and be heard clearly. Generally, it includes microphones for delegates, a central control unit and speakers to help improve audio clarity and allow everyone in the room to participate effectively – no matter the size of the conference space.
How do conference systems work?
A conference system connects multiple microphone units to a central control system that manages audio input and output. Each person can speak through their microphone and the system controls who can speak at any given time. The audio is then distributed through speakers or an AV system so all participants can hear clearly.
What’s the difference between wired and wireless conference systems?
Wired conference systems use physical cabling to connect microphones and control units, which makes them a great option for fixed installations like in boardrooms or council chambers.
Wireless conference systems, on the other hand, connect microphones without cables, giving more flexibility in room layout and easier setup.
How do you design a conference room audio system?
We look at four main factors when it comes to designing a conference system for a particular space: the size of the room, the number of participants, room acoustics and how the space will be used. This helps inform microphone placement, speaker coverage, system control and integration with any other AV equipment, like displays or video conferencing systems. Once designed, we can supply the components, or even prebuild the system for you, making installation as quick and easy as possible.
What equipment is needed for a conference system?
A typical conference system includes microphones (chairman and delegate units), a central control unit, amplification and speakers. Depending on the project, you might also need audio processors, recording or streaming equipment, and integration with displays or other AV systems.
