Set Device Properties
Select the device and set the properties:
1.
Enter a value for the device height (the distance between the floor and the microphone). By default, the device height
matches the ceiling height, though you can adjust them independently.
2.
Move and rotate the device to match your layout.
Position Microphone Coverage
1.
Add channels by clicking Add channel above the workspace.
2.
Enter the talker height by selecting a channel and providing the value in the Properties. This ensures accurate aiming.
3.
Move channels to cover the appropriate areas:
◦
Channels are independently selectable and can be moved anywhere within the maximum allowed coverage area. If
dragged outside of this region, lobes turn red and revert back to the last acceptable position.
◦
Position the channels by dragging or nudging them into place. Distance values to the device and to the workspace
0,0 are calculated in the properties panel.
◦
Use the grid to measure the precise placement.
4.
As you move channels into position, have someone talk from each position and listen to the channel. Move lobes ac
cordingly to get the best position for each one.
You'll see the lobes moving in Designer's coverage map as participants shift positions, which is the Autofocus technolo
gy in action. Autofocus fine-tunes each lobe's position in real time, even if meeting participants lean back or stand up.
Adjust Channel Width
Independent width control makes it possible for some channels to capture individual talkers (narrow), while others cover multi
ple talkers (wide).
To change a channel width:
1.
Select the channel
2.
Choose a width setting from the pull-down menu. The width is calculated and displayed, based on the lobe location and
heights entered for the device and talker.
Width Settings:
•
Narrow (35°)
•
Medium (45°)
•
Wide (55°)
