Video Conferencing: Why High Quality Audio Matters

Want great audio video? Then it all starts with great audio.

Stands to reason, right?

After all, it’s impossible to meet, interact, or broadcast effectively via video alone.

However, when you team brilliant microphones and speakers with brilliant cameras, you have a system capable of fully-maximizing the game-changing opportunities being fuelled by the remote and hybrid working explosion.

Indeed, you also have a system capable of ensuring the high-quality delivery of corporate training, classroom lessons, university lectures, or  large-scale auditorium conferences.

In short, high-quality audio is the essential ingredient in any modern video conferencing system – which is why it makes sense to partner with a vendor that has the solutions and the expertise to help your and your customers’ businesses get it right.

“When we are on a video call, or attending a conference or a lecture, or are part of an event in a large space, we take fantastic audio quality very much for granted – when it’s sub-optimum it can be a significant distraction and impact negatively on the experience,” says Jose Rincon, Head of Product Management at leading vendor AVer Europe, whose suite of professional audio products cater to all requirements and all budgets.

“We believe audio performance is critical. Of course, all organisations have different budgets, but it is important to invest appropriately, depending on your needs. Quality, simplicity, and ease of use should be the key considerations.”

To ensure it can provide ‘best-fit’ audio solutions, AVer Europe partners with the world’s most highly-regarded manufacturers of microphones and speakers, including Biamp, Bosch, Shure, Sennheiser, Yamaha, Nureva and others. All integrate seamlessly with its range of cameras to create systems for all spaces and all purposes.

Also, baked-in technology enables easy deployment of fully-automatic speaker tracking solutions with multiple cameras – ensuring camera, microphone, and speaker work in perfect harmony to deliver the best possible experience.

“We invest huge resources in establishing and maintaining partnerships with the best audio manufacturers out there,” says Rincon.

“As a result, we are able to provide our customers with high-performing solutions that have the capability to deliver exceptional audio in every setting in which quality is critical. Organisations may need a solution they can customize or adjust often, or they may have a challenging use case. Rooms are now multipurpose. Today a meeting room; tomorrow a training space; the next day a conference area; the next day an employee gym.

“Our close relationship with our partners enables us to supply a premium solution to a customer with multiple needs which we have already tested and with which we have vast experience.”

In addition, for setups where the priorities are affordability, simplicity, and easy installation, AVer Europe offers its own FONE range of plug-and-play speakerphones that also delivers enterprise-grade audio quality.

The table-top, Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet-certified FONE540 offers 360º coverage with a 4m pickup range, and can be very easily ‘daisy-chained’ with up to two additional speakerphones and four additional microphones

Aimed at medium-to-large meeting room spaces or classrooms where users need maximum flexibility without annoying cables or devices on tables, the FONE700 is a ceiling-mounted equivalent which comes with a neat hub that simultaneously supplies power and bi-directional audio to PC via USB, or via IP using a ‘virtual audio device’. Two USB cameras can be connected directly to the hub, with one single cable then running the entire system.

“We absolutely do not compete against our supplier partners, but customers are sometimes working to limited budgets and have requirements which our own FONE range can meet,” says Rincon.

“We are the trusted advisor with the ability to assess need and then recommend the optimum solution. Delivering the best result for our customer is always our only priority.”

AVer Europe’s offering also includes its AmpliWave device – a budget wireless microphone and speaker set-up aimed at the education sector, and which enables teachers and lecturers to effortlessly amplify their voices. It also enables the integration of multiple other classroom audio sources such as the teacher’s PC and smartphone, or a musical instrument.

It can be easily connected to impaired students’ hearing-aid devices with independent volume controls, and also helps in remote or hybrid learning sessions by enabling remote students to experience audio as if they were physically present in the room.

It seems high-quality audio really is central to today’s modern ways of working and living.

And that sounds like a call to action…
