Boundary Microphone
Placement
The boundary transmitter sits on a table or desk to
transmit speech while discreetly blending into any
conference environment. Cardioid and omnidirectional
versions are available.
For best low-frequency response and rejection of
background noise, place the microphone on a large, flat
surface, such as a floor, table, or lectern.
To reduce reverberance, avoid reflective surfaces above or
to the side of the microphone, such as beveled sides of
pulpits or overhanging shelves.
