To prevent echo cancellation, we recommend positioning the Microphone Pod as far as possible
from loudspeakers and other noise sources (for example, computer fans). Do not place paper or
other objects in front of the Microphone Pod.
Use 2 Microphone Pods for large conference tables (selected models). Distribute them evenly on
the table.
• Avoid white walls as they can introduce an effect-like backlight: a white wall increases the
illumination behind the person. Avoid glass walls, as well as patterns and textures on the walls as
they may cause disturbances to visual effects. We recommend to have plain walls of neutral color.
Also, in order to avoid reverberations, we recommend to use heavy curtains of neutral color and
carpets.
• The conference room should be air-conditioned and kept at a cool temperature to avoid the XT
Codec Unit switching on its fan.
• The conference room should be well and uniformly lit, avoiding a mixture of natural and artificial
light. Light should come from the top of the conference table, the front and the rear (for depth of
field). If only ceiling light is available, it should contribute to maintain a pleasant environment and
generate as less heat as possible.
