Sennheiser SpeechLine – T rue to the word

The spoken word remains the most personal and powerful tool in
communication. It enables us to convey and exchange messages, thoughts
and opinions, as well as emotions. Therefore, when using technical devices
like microphones, it is most important that no content is lost or
misunderstood.

The best microphone is one you don‘t have to think about while speaking,
because it fully captures your voice and picks up your words as precisely as
you form them. Easy operation a nd cl ear speech intelligibility are perhaps
most popularly embodied in the characteristically shaped Sennheiser ME
36, which can be seen on virtually every TV news program.

The qualities of these iconic microphones can also b e found in all other
microphones of the versatile Sennheiser SpeechLine series. These qualities
are also built into any microphone of the versatile Sennheiser SpeechLine
portfolio.

Wired or wireless, digital or analog , this comprehensive range of easy t o
integrate and unobtrusively designed microphones offer a solution for just
about any situation, including yours.

In many applications, a speech microphone can help to increase the speech
intelligibility or even make it possible in the first place (as in
teleconferences). The following chapters describe the most common
applications.

Typical applications

A) Conferences (voice lift)

The larger the room, the more helpful is an audio system which enhances
the speech intelligibility. Especially in large conference rooms, a speaker
seated at one end is difficult to understand at the other end. Table or
ceiling microphones can be used to pick up what the speaker says. The
audio signal can then be spread evenly around the room using wall or
ceiling loudspeakers. This application is also known as “voice lift”, i.e. the
speech is amplified in the room.

B) Teleconferences

If the participants of a conference are seated in different rooms, they have
to be connected via telephone or remote conference circuit. As a telephone
alone can only offer inadequate sp eech tr ansmissi on for all part icipants in
the room, table or ceiling microphones should be used in this case too.
These are connected to a telephone conference unit such as the Sennheiser
TeamConnect system. This processes the signals and establishes the
connection to the remote participant.

Presentations

C)

Especially in a presentation, in which the focu s is on the transmission of
content, it is important to understand every word. Here, too, the larger the
room, the more necessary it is to amplify the voice. In this case, gooseneck
microphones offer the speaker orientation and enhance his presentation.
