Recording high quality audio in an office environment can be a daunting task. Open plan offices can be noisy, electrical equipment can introduce unwanted hum. The acoustic qualities of offices and conference rooms with their hard walls & rectangular layouts are a sound engineer's nightmare. At Astral Voices our experience teaches us that corporate companies who podcast want quick & reliable equipment that can be setup easily.

So what's the solution?

Having the correct tools for the job & training go along way to success. Audio baffles are a quick way to sort out the room acoustics. Headphone / microphone USB headsets that convert audio to digital before the sound reaches the computer can be a great solution for single podcasters but what if you are recording a round table scenario. For this situation a Polycom communicator device works miracles. Polycom are reknowned for their high quality video & teleconferencing equipment that adorn many a corporate conference room. The communicator family of handsets use the same DSP technology as their high-end Polycom cousins. Polycom handsets are made for teleconferencing so if you want to record a long distance voip conversation via Skype you'll appreciate the latest C100S model which has integrated skype functionality.

Each situation is different and at Astral Voices we pride ourselves in providing the best solution possible. For more information visit astralvoices.com .
