Overview

What a Ceiling Microphone System does in a Conference Room or Classroom

The PeopleLink DSP CM is a Ceiling Microphone System for Conference Rooms, Classrooms and Training Rooms seating 15 to 30 people. Two suspended spherical microphones each give a 360 degree pickup radius of 10 metres, covering rooms of 80 to 100 square metres with nothing on the table. The master receiver adds a built-in Digital Audio Processor with AEC, AGC and ANS, Intelligent Remix and a 75dB signal-to-noise ratio, connecting over USB 2.0 Type B on Windows and Mac OS. An Active Speaker can be added for Local Sound Reinforcement. Ceiling mounting means an existing room can be upgraded without changing the furniture.

High-Performance Full-Coverage Pickup Microphones
Features

High-Performance Full-Coverage Pickup Microphones

DSP-CM Microphones are high-performance full-coverage pickup microphones for normalized recording and playback in classrooms and remote interactive scenarios. A single microphone covers a radius of 10 meters, and two microphones can cover a classroom or conference room with an area of over 120 square meters.

Ceiling Microphones for Meeting Spaces
Features

Ceiling Microphones for Any Meeting Space

The ceiling microphone is designed for easy ceiling mounting and suits diverse meeting spaces, including training rooms, classrooms, and demo rooms. Its discreet placement ensures effective audio coverage, making it an ideal solution for enhancing collaboration in professional environments.

Digital Array Microphone
Features

Digital Array Microphone, Long-Distance Voice Pickup

The microphones adopt large-size and professional-grade acoustic transducers to capture a wide dynamic range and can pick up rich and full-bodied sound from up to a 10-meter radius. Lecturers or conference speakers can speak anywhere within 2-10 meters from the omnidirectional microphone without affecting the pickup effect.

Design and Installation
Features

Design and Installation

The design of ceiling microphones focuses on discretion and functionality. The unique enclosure design effectively suppresses large space reverberation, capturing clear, undistorted, and omnidirectional sound. Installation considerations involve strategic placement to optimize sound pickup while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space. The ceiling mic mount plays a crucial role in this, allowing for secure and optimal positioning.

Applications and Advantages
Features

Applications and Advantages

Ceiling microphones are versatile, suitable for use in multiple scenarios such as large conference halls or intimate meeting rooms. The advantage of PeopleLink microphones with ceiling installation is their wide coverage and the elimination of table clutter, common in traditional conferencing setups. Systems like DSP CM exemplify this advantage, offering both convenience and quality.

System Integration
Features

Simple to Integrate and Compatible with VC Applications

Integrating a ceiling mic into your existing audio-visual system requires careful consideration of compatibility. Products like DSP CM with hanging microphones from ceiling arrays are designed to work seamlessly with various AV interfaces and applications, ensuring that the system functions as a cohesive whole.

Superior Audio Reception
Features

Superior Audio Reception

Where a Ceiling Microphone System Fits in Your Organisation

How organisations deploy a Ceiling Microphone System, and what changes for the teams that use it

Education

Classroom Audio for a University

A university fits its Lecture Classrooms with the PeopleLink DSP CM so a lecturer can teach from anywhere between 2 and 10 metres of a suspended microphone. Two spherical microphones hang from the ceiling and cover a room of 80 to 100 square metres, while the master receiver's AEC, AGC and ANS keep remote students free of echo. The receiver connects to the room PC over USB Type B and to an Active Speaker for Local Sound Reinforcement, so the class hears clearly too.

Enterprise

Training Room Audio for a Bank

A bank's learning centre runs product training for 15 to 30 staff at a time, half of them joining from branches. The PeopleLink DSP CM keeps the tables clear: two ceiling microphones with a 10 metre, 360 degree pickup radius capture the trainer and every participant, and the built-in digital audio processor mixes them intelligently before the USB feed reaches the Video Conferencing platform. A 75dB signal-to-noise ratio keeps recordings clean. With a PeopleLink Camera in the same room, branch staff see and hear the whole session.

Government

Conference Room Audio for a State Secretariat

A state secretariat's departmental Conference Room hosts review meetings with district offices several times a week. Rather than a chain of table microphones, the PeopleLink DSP CM suspends two microphones from the ceiling; each covers a 10 metre radius, so officials speak from their seats and are heard. The master receiver handles echo cancellation and noise suppression, connects to the room PC over USB and to an Active Speaker for local amplification. Minutes are clearer, and the table stays free for papers.
