The Value of a Good Audio Consultant

Any task that requires a skilled professional for successful implementation is something you shouldn’t do by yourself. In the case of installed sound systems, an audio consultant is a skilled professional who understands the entire design process, how to make the various parts of the system work as they should, and has a lot of creative ideas for each project they work on. Independent Resource Because good sound doesn’t just happen, it’s very important to involve the right professionals in the process, preferably early in the concept/design phase of a project. One of the primary benefits an audio consultant provides to the customer is their ability to act as an…

Ceiling Mic Best Practices Tip #4: Configure DSP Settings & Create Zones for Voice Lift

Ceiling mics were once viewed as a challenge to integrators, but their quality and capabilities have improved. The DSP algorithms used to support them have improved as well, and have actually effectively eliminated most (and in many cases all) ceiling and HVAC noises as impediments to high quality audio. Configuring the DSP settings to appropriately match the needs of the end users of a space is absolutely crucial to the success of a ceiling microphone (and table microphone) solution. Enhance Speech Processing with DSP Algorithms Biamp DSP algorithms that help to effectively eliminate ceiling and HVAC noises include: Automatic gain control (AGC) Ambient noise compensation (ANC) Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC)…

Building for Sound Can Improve Hospital HCAHPS Scores

Promoting quality patient care and privacy is the trend in hospitals around the world at the moment. In fact, here in Australia current hospital projects are underway with quality patient care at the center of their design and construction. The aspect of these projects that we’re particularly interested in is the soundscape. Sound has far-reaching effects on a patients’ ability to heal. Including intentional sound design in hospitals can only benefit accreditation scores (such as HCAHPS in the U.S.), adherence to privacy regulations, and life safety standards. While Australia does not use the HCAHPS scoring system, standards like this, along with the increasing emphasis on quality patient care, are in…

Reduce Your Risk By Installing AVB-Enabled Systems

AV integrators are often the last contractors in the door, which means they’re also the last ones to finish. To the untrained eye, it looks like the AV integrator is holding up the show. But for those of us in the industry, we know what’s really going on here. AV Integrators Have It Rough When was the last time you had enough time to properly install, setup, and tune the AV system in a large scale project? The other contractors are finishing while you’re just arriving. The audio is necessary for a successful conference room, but it can’t be seen (not like the wood table or leather chairs) and is…
