Professional audio enhances business in remote meetings
Many companies underestimate how important audio quality is for remote meetings. Indeed, key experts say it is considerably more important than video quality. With the best sound quality, communication ‘flows’ better, leading to increased productivity and efficiency. But why is that? And how can you get the best sound for your remote meetings?
Why is audio quality so important?
A common issue when days are filled with online meetings is so-called ‘Zoom fatigue’. Having many meetings in a day can be exhausting and it’s all the more exhausting when the body is irritated by unwanted or poorly transmitted sound. Poor audio quality creates stress, because human hearing is significantly more sensitive and less tolerant than the visual channel. Continued exposure to distracting ambient noise further increases stress levels and affects people’s health, in terms of high blood pressure, coronary disease, peptic ulcers and migraine headaches. Another factor is that video images can be distracting, e.g. "Why isn't the participant looking at the camera, is he/she bored?" Therefore it is sometimes a good idea to only use professional audio for online meetings.
What does your company gain from addressing this issue?
First and foremost, meetings become a lot more productive and efficient. With the right audio environment, the meeting experience is much more enjoyable and stimulating. The stress caused by such meetings is markedly reduced and employees are less likely to object to remote meetings when all participants know they can rely on good audio quality. The aforementioned health issues can be avoided and the feeling of participating in a ‘real’ meeting is enhanced. Employees also feel valued by being equipped with the best (audio) technology.
What is the solution?
Yamaha makes all this possible with its professional, all-in-one ADECIA audio solutions for conferencing, which are suitable for a wide range of meeting and room setups. Whether you want the microphones located on the conference desk (ADECIA Tabletop), out of sight on the ceiling (ADECIA Ceiling) or wireless for maximum flexibility (ADECIA Wireless), Yamaha has got you covered, with everything housed in an elegant and practical design. Thanks to Yamaha’s innovative technologies like Human Voice Auto Detection (HVAD), adaptive echo, noise and reverberation cancellation, ADECIA solutions provide the best speech intelligibility. Powerful integrated processors make sure that no unwanted background noise (for example from air conditioning or outside traffic) is transmitted to the remote meeting participants – so everybody can be heard, clearly understood and with no unwanted noise.
