4Audioconferencing systems

Audioconferencing systems are assemblies of delegate units designed for quality discussion within a meeting room or auditorium.

Each unit has its own microphone and loudspeaker, ensuring trouble-free amplification of the discussion of each participant and excellent clarity of the whole discussion.

Thus, audioconferencing systems provide features such as hearing and being heard, discussion management, recording capabilities and other additional features.

Non-system installation

This type of installation, putting it into operation, and uninstallation process are time-consuming. At the same time, the presence of at least one of the technicians as a system operator throughout the meeting is necessary.

The solution with classical microphones and speakers would be challenging and not very handy.

Conference (discussion) system

This type of installation, putting it into operation and uninstalling is time-consuming. At the same time, there is no need for any technician to attend the system for the duration of the meeting.

Discussion and conference systems are therefore easily interconnected and easy to use. Discussion and switching on and off the microphones can be handled by the chairman, it is as well possible to set the maximum number of talking people.

Audio-conferencing systems are often implemented in combination with other systems:

- voting systems
  - enable unmistakable identification of participants
  - enable transparent voting management
  - enable adjustable weights for individual voices
  - enable discussion management, including technical notes
  - enable camera and audio recording of the discussion
- interpreting systems - multichannel audio transmission systems
  - infrared wireless systems are used for professional interpretation purposes, congress delegates or meetings have wireless receivers where they can hear an interpreter on the headphones; the interpreters translate in separate cabins, and the signal is distributed to the transmitters
- guiding systems - a microphone guide
  - a mobile guide system is an appropriate solution for the implementation of a visitor group in a noisy or acoustically inappropriate environment, such as exhibitions, production halls, etc., the system enables a quick simultaneous translation, e.g. at press conferences
- Exposition Guides - Multimedia Interpreter (Audioguide)
  - a voice or multimedia exposition guide, guide for an interesting interior, or even a city; a visitor can play interpreting himself/herself or interpreting it automatically started if the user approaches a location, which is to be commented on, (e.g. in electromagnetic-triggered museums and in cities by the GPS position)
