The problem in plain terms.
People tolerate bad video. They hang up on bad audio. When remote participants can't understand what's being said, they disengage. When in-room attendees can't hear clearly due to poor speaker placement or HVAC interference, they fake understanding. Decisions get made on incomplete information. This is not an audio problem. It's a business problem.
We had an $80,000 conference room that was completely unusable for remote calls. Echo so bad participants were dropping. XAV measured it, treated it, and now it passes Teams Rooms audio certification. Same room — completely different experience.
Designed for speech. Engineered for the room.
Room acoustics assessed before any equipment recommendation
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) for consistent audio levels across all seating positions
Beamforming microphone arrays that follow voices, not noise
Ceiling speaker arrays designed to every seat — no hot spots, no dead zones
Integration with existing phone systems, AV systems, and collaboration platforms
Typical use case
Insurance firm, 200-seat headquarters
An open-concept headquarters where team meetings in collaboration zones were constantly disrupted by ambient noise. Distributed audio zones needed to support different content across the building simultaneously:
Results
- ✓
12 independent audio zones — each controllable from a central touchscreen
- ✓
Speech intelligibility score (STI) improved from 0.41 to 0.78 after treatment
- ✓
Conference zones pass Teams Rooms audio certification post-deployment
- ✓
No feedback, no hot spots, no complaints since installation
Our audio situation is this.
Let's talk about your specific situation, no commitment required.
