Challenge
- The client's conference room is primarily used by high-level executives and top researchers. Previously, they installed the Logitech 3500E conference suite, but it caused messy desktop wiring that affected the overall aesthetic.
- With an area of over 50 square meters, the conference room is considered large. The previously installed audio equipment could not meet the client's requirements for sound amplification and sound pickup, resulting in situations where speakers were difficult to hear.
- Prior to each meeting, a dedicated technician was required to adjust the equipment, which led to high operational and maintenance costs.
Solution
Medium to large-sized office/meeting room
The Nearity A50 is an advanced ceiling array microphone solution designed for video and indoor audio conferencing. It incorporates several cutting-edge audio technologies such as beamforming and AI noise reduction to ensure the best possible voice clarity during video and audio conferences, thus enabling efficient communication.
The A50 also supports PoE power supply and cascading, which makes it versatile enough to cover conference scenarios in rooms of different sizes. This capability better adapts the system to higher-level applications such as local sound amplification and remote conferences.
Paired with the Nearity AMX100 audio processor, which features an audio routing matrix that can be configured with parameters such as echo cancellation, noise reduction, automatic mixing, and automatic gain, the ASP100 speaker provides clear and accurate voice reproduction.
Conclusion
The Hangzhou-based company, specializing in intelligent technologies, faced significant challenges with their executive conference room setup. The previous Logitech 3500E system resulted in messy wiring and inadequate audio performance for the 50-square-meter room. Additionally, the need for a dedicated technician to manage the equipment before each meeting drove up operational costs.
Nearity's solution, featuring the A50 ceiling array microphone and AMX100 audio processor, addressed these issues effectively. The A50's beamforming and AI noise reduction technologies ensured exceptional voice clarity, while its PoE power supply and cascading capabilities made it suitable for large conference rooms. Paired with the AMX100 audio processor, which offers advanced audio routing and processing features, the system provided clear and accurate voice reproduction. This setup not only improved the audio quality but also streamlined operations, reducing the need for constant technical adjustments and significantly lowering maintenance costs. As a result, the company achieved a more efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective conference room solution, positioning them to better support their high-level executives and top researchers.
