<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>One point to remember is that if you are
picking up audio from a 3 metre radius, that you will also pick up ALL extraneous
noise within that range, including room acoustics, air-con, projectors, other possibly
unwanted voices etc etc. So the audio quality is bound to diminish. It’s
worth checking the setup to see if it’s acceptable before going “live”
and getting complaints. If possible ask to try out the equipment. If the
company you’re purchasing from is any good they will understand and may
even help with a solution.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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></span></font></p>

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></span></font></p>
