Connecting Polycom HDX Table or Ceiling Microphones
Polycom microphones each contain three microphone elements for 360°
coverage. You can connect multiple Polycom microphones to a Polycom HDX
system.
For best audio, do the following:
•
Place the microphone on a hard, flat surface (table, wall, or ceiling) away
from obstructions, so the sound will be directed into the microphone
elements properly.
•
Place the microphone near the people closest to the monitor.
•
In large conference rooms, you may need more than one microphone.
Each Polycom microphone covers a 3-6 foot radius, depending on the
noise level and acoustics in the room.
Using the Polycom EagleEye View Microphones
The Polycom EagleEye View camera includes built-in stereo microphones. For
best audio when using the Polycom EagleEye View:
•
Enable Polycom StereoSurround.
•
Place the camera at least 1 foot away from any walls to minimize boundary
effects.
•
Ideally the people speaking should be no more than 7 feet away from the
Polycom EagleEye View. The maximum distance covered depends on the
noise level and acoustics in the room. If you connect a Polycom
microphone, Polycom SoundStation, or Polycom SoundStructure
