<p class=MsoNormal>I have also considered USB based devices, such as the iChat,
and the Duet. They do not have a very good range for microphone pickup from my
experience with them, they are good for very close range (~ 4 ft, after that it
doesn’t pick up anything very well). Unless do you know of a USB
microphone that has a better range, and gain, so it can pickup sound decently
in an open area from more then 6-8 ft?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
One of my current projects is a public AG kiosk-like setup, in which people
will be able to walk up to the node, choose a stream and start to talk directly
with that stream. The area is about a 12’ X 12’ square area, with
drop-tile ceiling, it will consist of 1x HD camera, 1x DV camera, 2x 52”
HD LCD TV’s, 1x high quality microphone, some sort of directional
speakers, and an echo cancellation system. It seems that I would only
need one microphone input for this project. However I have mostly worked with
the ClearOne XAP400, which is a dual line-in echo cancellation system, and the
XAP does not seem to come in a single line-in version. Is there some other echo
cancellation unit that people would suggest for a setup like this? Or have I
missed a single line-in version of the XAP? Also any other suggestions for the
node would be nice to hear, in case others have ideas that haven’t been
thought of, or others are thinking of building a node such like this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As always all help is appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
