Improve audio in your business video calls
In an increasingly hybrid and connected work environment, audio quality in meetings has become a determining factor for successful communication. Whether it's a meeting with colleagues in other offices or a video call with international clients, if the sound fails, the experience suffers. That's why choosing the right microphones and speakers for meeting rooms is not a minor issue, but a strategic investment for any company that values efficiency, professionalism and collaboration.
Why is audio so important in videoconferencing?
Although the image often takes center stage in videoconferencing systems, it is the audio that sustains the conversation. A blurry picture can be tolerated; poor audio cannot. Poor audio leads to misunderstandings, interruptions, frustration and, ultimately, lost time and productivity.
In addition, in a meeting room, audio has an added challenge: to clearly capture all participants, regardless of their position at the table, while eliminating ambient noise and ensuring that everyone hears clearly. This is where professional microphones and loudspeakers make the difference.
What features should a good meeting room microphone have?
Microphones for videoconferencing must be able to pick up voices clearly and naturally, without distortion or interference. Some key aspects to take into account are:
- Omnidirectional or directional pickup: depending on the size and layout of the room. In small rooms, an omnidirectional microphone may be sufficient. In larger spaces, it is preferable to have directional or array microphones to focus on the voice of each participant.
- Noise and echo cancellation: active cancellation technology helps eliminate background noise, reverberations and echoes, providing a cleaner and more professional experience.
- Aesthetic and functional integration: whether integrated into a videoconferencing bar or as a stand-alone unit, it must fit into the space without being intrusive.
- Accessible volume control: so users can easily adjust the sound during the meeting.

Tips for choosing the best audio solution for your living room
Before choosing a microphone and speaker system, consider:
- Room size: the larger the room, the greater the need for directional coverage and sound power.
- Number of regular participants: to find out whether you need an individual solution, for small groups or for large meeting rooms.
- Type of meetings: whether they usually include presentations, hybrid meetings or collaborative work.
- Ambient noise level: open or busy rooms require better noise cancellation.
