Thank you, Markus. My biggest problem is feedback when off-site participants talk and the in-room mic picks up what they are saying, creating a feedback loop. This is in a rather large, loud room, with a PA system and microphones.

2 жыл бұрын

The key is to have only one input and output for audio. I have some examples in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdp2g6R20q3NmoE.html If that PA system of your is hooked up to the machine that runs Zoom, this should work nicely. Most mixing desks have a USB connection these days.

I was wondering if you had a suggestion for hybrid meetings that are done in an auditorium. We have stage speakers and stage connectors but we need a mic for the speakers so the in person audience can hear but we need a mic for online audience to hear.

There's probably a mixing desk of some kind in the room. You can likely connect to it via USB.

Great article and mic tests. We've tried to run hybrid town-hall style meetings. We found it possible for presenters to come across well to hybrid audiences but the feedback we've had from the remote audience is that it's hard to hear in-room wider audience members when they speak (questions / discussion). Yet, conversely, general noises in the room and occasional chatter ruins audio of the person speaking. I'm thinking that we need 2 solutions - a main mic and plus an ambient mic but concerned about potential echo or feedback. Potentially, a roaming mic and possibly somebody controlling whether that mic is on. I'm also thinking that we need to refresh our guidance about speaking and making way for each other. Any ideas very welcome!

If you have multiple mics, just connect them to one device, like a mixing desk to avoid echo.

Our biggest challenge is background noise. when the air conditioner in the conference room kicks on people hear buzzing that are remote and it kills the sound. Does the poly colisto 7200 take care of background noise. For example: last hybrid meeting we had a facilities crew out in our hallway core drilling the floor. That was a big distraction.

What software are you using? Zoom's noise suppression is actually really good. I have fan noise from the projector, and when I set the noise suppression to Auto, it works perfectly. That would be the place to start, and also free. The Calisto 7200 also has some built-in noise suppression. There's a demo of it on Poly's own channel here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ5hatecz9y9gIE.html. The model was previously called VoxBox; it's the same device.

Markus - if there were an All-Star Team for Zoomers, you'd be on it! You don't miss a thing: the "sections," the "more," the dialogue with viewers, etc. I hope that some lucrative corporate engagements have come/will come your way. Yes, everybody has mostly mastered "the basics," but you go miles & miles beyond THAT.... Oh yes, not a criticism so much as a pointer - "Toastmasters" may be bigger than I think it is, but in '20-? it's a very flawed "model" for many/most of your site visitors. Maybe, in some future video, you could/should show a gathering around your couch where others are remote - with "Kalista." Now THAT's what "hybrid" is going to evolve into - for MANY - because driving, parking, weather & a host of other issues are probably going to enable Zoom to survive post-Covid. (It's not just "social" - many businesses will have impromptu meetings in areas with couches & coffee tables ... with the NECESSITY that some remote people participate, too.)

Hi Markus, I am looking to buy a good quality conference microphone to synch with my Mac (via Zoom) for a school room hybrid meeting. You recommend Poly Callisto 7200 speakerphone. I went to that link and it says new equivalent now is "Poly Synch 20+ Bluetooth Speakerphone". (USB-A/BT600) Is this one you would now recommend? ..its quite a bit cheaper.

Yes that's right. The Poly Sync 20+ (amzn.to/2SZ7qch) is the current model from the same company and the one I use all the time.

Markus; I like your videos, and I am interested in using the Callisto 7200, but I have a question. We run a hybrid meeting with this set up: An auditorium with speakers for an audience and a conference table with the meeting leaders. The remote participants are only using the chat feature to ask questions, but the audience members are allowed to use a mic to ask, and I am concerned that there may be feedback from the auditorium speakers getting into the Callisto. Is there a way this could be prevented? Thanks

If you have more than one audio device you will definitely get feedback. One solution would be to connect all the audio to a mixing desk and connect that with USB to a laptop.

I want to set up a hybrid meeting in a rather large room with 50-60 in attendance. The audience is usually listening to a speaker or announcements at the front of the room. What audio solution should I use to that will provide clear sound to everyone in the room and to on-line participants? Would a conference mic work in that large of a setting?

There's probably a PA system in the room. Most likely you can hook into it with a USB cable. I actually cover it in the next video about audio in hybrid meetings, to be released on Thursday.

Yes, so long as they're connected to a mixing desk or something, which will ensure that there's only one signal into the laptop. If there are two signals or more, you will get echo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdp2g6R20q3NmoE.html

My biggest issue is feedback (echo). We have a large meeting using a bluetooth, conference microphone and would like to have an external speaker so we can hear the participants better - but for some reason, the speaker always causes terrible feedback no matter where we place it in the room. Any suggestions?

Perhaps you've already seen my video about echo? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdp2g6R20q3NmoE.html The key is to have one mic and one speaker, both connected to the same device. But I'm not sure if that would work with your setup.

Would it work to have each in-person participant signed into the meeting via their own individual laptop or phone and then use that as a microphone when speaking (muted unless speaking of course)? Our club meets in a large room with very poor acoustics and I am trying to figure out, with little to no cost, how we can ensure the online attendees can hear the in-person attendees. Thanks!

Mostly likely it will not work. As soon as you have multiple mics or speakers in the room, you're bound to get feedback. I talked about it in the very beginning of this stream: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7-cpJCZx6vcnKc.html

Lynette- my take on this is that the real obstacle is the human element. While technically, if you could strictly control and assure that only one mic at a time is live, it could work, the reality is that almost no group of humans who have a meeting subject to focus on, can also be so vigilant about their mics and speaker muting.. And so, inevitably, more than one gets open and the echo starts.

I would guess the answer is no. At least on my machine, I can only select one speaker at a time. But some speakers and speakerphones you can connect together so they appear as one speaker in Windows; that might work.

This is still looping in the problems. I think you are missing the solution part of the hybrid meetings. The solution is called mix-minus technology. Where in house speakers can listen to their speaking in speaker and zoom guests can hear them as well. Also the in house participants can hear the zoom guests loudly and he will be minus from his mic. I have done zoom meeting with 10 thousand plus participants on in house event and main guest on zoom.
