Tips for Great Audio
The microphone is very sensitive and picks up every sound within its operating
radius. To keep the best audio possible:
Place the microphone on the table in front of the meeting participants. For
videoconferences with more than four participants, consider adding another
microphone, such as the PictureTel PowerMic
Speak in your normal voice without shouting.
Speak toward the microphone without leaning into it.
Ask the people at the other site if they can hear you. Have them introduce
themselves so you can be sure that you can hear them.
Pause for others to answer you or to make comments because the audio has a
slight delay.
DonÕt place papers or other objects on top of or in the way of the microphone.
DonÕt rustle papers or tap on or near the microphone.
Try to limit side conversations.
Tips for Muting
Whenever you donÕt want to be heard by another site in your videoconference,
you should mute your microphone. Here are some other tips to keep in mind
about muting:
If your system has an optional Look-At-Me-Buttonª (LAMBª), people
sitting far from the keypad can mute the microphone by pressing the
button on the LAMB.
If you have a VCR connected to your system and youÕre playing a videotape,
pressing
does not mute the audio from the videotape.
MUTE
In a multipoint call with voice-activated switching, you should mute your
system whenever you donÕt want to be seen or heard by the other sites in the
call. This way, your site wonÕt be shown to the others if you talk among
yourselves.
