Yamaha Unified Communications senior director of technical sales and marketing Holger Stoltze, Ph.D., will present two audio education sessions at the upcoming InfoComm 2022 show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, including “Room Impact on Selecting the Right Microphone Technology” and “The New Demands of Hybrid Education on Classroom Audio.”
“Video without superb audio is worthless, and it’s the most frustrating aspect of any remote environment,” says Stoltze. “However, attaining that level of quality can be complex and laborious without a firm understanding of what factors impact audio. These two sessions are developed to educate integrators on all the variables so they can feel confident in producing a crisp, clear audio stream every time.”
“Room Impact on Selecting the Right Microphone Technology” will be presented on Wednesday, June 8, from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Room W311-W313, with Stoltze exploring the different ways room environments impact audio quality. Environmental noises and room audio are often not taken into consideration in system designs, and they can impact both in-person and remote participants. Based on noise and reverberance in the room, factors such as distance between talker and microphone, dynamic or static beam forming, noise reduction, or de-reverberation should be taken into consideration.
In the CTS education session “The New Demands of Hybrid Education on Classroom Audio” on June 9, from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Room W322-W324, Stoltze will discuss how hybrid education has placed a new emphasis on classroom audio that was unnoticed and unresolved in the past. This session will demonstrate how to effectively mic the whole room, how to ensure that many-to-many discussions are easily understood by remote participants, and how remote participants can be well understood by those in the classroom.
The sessions are open to all attendees of InfoComm 2022. Yamaha UC is also exhibiting at the show at booth #W1151.
