[AG-TECH] ClearOne & PIG?

[Heisen, Andrew [NCSUS]]

I agree that the ASPI EF 400 may not be suited for conference rooms with 3-5
people.  Our intent in trying it out was for PIG systems being used by 1-2
people.  For this purpose the one-mic setup works fine.  There's a caveat,
however: when the speakers and microphone are near each other, especially in
a confined space, the EF400 is easily overpowered and can't function
effictively.  Thus, it's only effective in a larger space where the speakers
can be relatively far away.  We're still looking for a good setup to solve
this problem. 
 
This challenge aside, the audio quality it gives is far superior to the
soundstation premier or other products.  
 
As for suppliers or prices, I'm not sure, but there's a list of Aspi Reps on
the web page - http://www.aspi.com/contact/rep_map.html

How much, what's a good supplier?

 

I see they have only one microphone input?  How would that work for even a
small conference room with 3-5 people?  I am working from the idea that 4
mikes is what would be needed to get a good signal from a medium sized
conference room.

I had dial-up issues but took over the ADSL line in the Regency club - what
a difference..   We are testing a new device through ASPI that is for a
single user.  I will get you the information - but it is much better then
then the Polycom device.  We have also tested headsets from Sennheiser
(Modified Pilot headset - bad); Koss; Plantronics and they were all bad.

We haven't tried it here at ANL yet, but it certainly looks like it fits the
bill - if you decide to try it out, let us know what you think ;-)
