| IPS - Improve Sound Quality on your Conference Calls | |
SynerTel & KonfTel offer the following easy tips to make the most of your full duplex speakerphone (aka flying saucer phone!). Don't have one yet? Need another?
We're offering 10% off KonfTel analog and IP speakerphones thru 12/31/2011!
How to improve sound quality for your meetings:
Simple, minor changes can lead to a big improvement - sometimes a little extra effort is required.
A few simple tips:
Before and during the meeting
* Switch off or turn down any distracting or noisy fans.
* Don't drum your fingers or tap a pen on the table.
* Remember that the screen of your laptop can obstruct the microphone.
* Don't put papers or folders over any extra microphones on the table.
* Don't put your hand on your chin (over your mouth) while talking.
* Avoid background noise from other rooms and outside by closing doors and windows.
* If you are participating from another location that is quite noisy, turn off the microphone (mute) when you are not talking. Try to find somewhere else to sit if possible.
If you are still not happy with the sound quality:
Today's modern bare rooms are the most common cause of poor sound quality during teleconferences. A cold room causes sound to bounce around, prolonging the reverberation period. Decorate and furnish the room to reduce reverberation.
1. Avoid choosing rooms with noise sources, like heavy traffic outside or a noisy air conditioning system.
2. The floor is important. Aim for 'soft' furnishings that reduce any reverberation of sound.
Wall-to-wall carpet or rugs help to reduce reverberation.
3. Hang long curtains & wall hangings if the room has windows or large unadorned walls.
4. Use potted plants for decoration (plastic plants also work).
5. If there is a hard ceiling, install some sound-damping panels. If the ceiling is very high, create a lower suspended ceiling.
6. An interior designer can help when redecorating a conference room.
