Sennheiser SpeechLine - True to the word Typical acoustic situations A) Normally attenuated room A normally attenuated room provides an average attenuation of reflections. This is contributed to by carpets, curtains or special acoustic ceilings. In the case of reduced reflections in the room, microphones pick up less noise, which results in the highest speech intelligibility. B) Room with amplified sound If the speech in the room is amplified by loudspeakers, this signal can enter the microphone again. This can cause echo, but in the worst case acoustic feedback can be the result. The effect can be reduced by using microphones with stronger directional characteristics. C) Large rooms with echo - acoustically challenging rooms The larger the room, the more probable is acoustic disturbance due to reflections or sound coming from loudspeakers. If the room also has many smooth surfaces such as glass fronts or smooth floors, the result is a scenario which is extremely unfavorable acoustically. In this case, only microphones with strong directional characteristics like the ME 36 can ensure speech intelligibility.
