Leading audio and video conferencing solutions deliver dramatic improvements to meeting setup and videoconferencing spaces When specialty tax consulting agency McGuire Sponsel initiated a recent office renovation and expansion at its headquarters in Indianapolis’ Capital Center complex, company leadership decided it was the right time to upgrade their audio and video equipment to improve meeting and conferencing experiences. Working with local communications integration firm Chrismin Communications, McGuire Sponsel chose to integrate class-leading ClearOne solutions including the BMA 360-Beamforming Microphone Array Ceiling Tile, Unite 200 12x zoom PTZ video camera and CONVERGE 2 Pro DSP. These innovative solutions combined to elevate the company’s meetings and collaboration capabilities through unrivaled audio clarity, superior rejection of reverb and noise, camera tracking and a clutter-free room aesthetic, said ClearOne executives. “Our initial involvement with this project focused on upgrading the existing data infrastructure and an office expansion, and once on site, discussions with the owners quickly identified videoconferencing as a sore spot in daily operations,” said Chris Freeman, president of Chrismin Communications. “As a longtime ClearOne dealer and proponent, I knew ClearOne’s flagship BMA 360 microphone and Unite 200 camera would deliver vastly improved audio and video performance while adding valuable special features that simplify running a meeting and ensure consistent clarity, even in busy or dynamic meeting environments.” McGuire Sponsel’s main conference room had existing AV equipment that was showing its age and had become troublesome to operate, discouraging to use and causing frequent interruptions. The revamped space with a full ClearOne conferencing solution now offers employees simple, reliable operations and vastly improved audio and video quality, said the company. One of the client’s specific challenges was that the pickup pattern of its existing microphones was too wide, so passing fire trucks from a nearby firehouse would frequently interrupt meetings.
