The Local People Hear Echo Of Their Voices From The Remote Room

This problem is most likely with the remote room’s acoustic echo canceller.

Have the remote participants mute their microphone to see if the echo is

removed, if so, troubleshoot the remote room’s AEC by following the instruc-

tions given previously. For remote people follow the instructions for The

remote people hear echo of their voices from the local room issue described above.
If muting the remote participants microphones did not remove the acoustic

echo issue, then check the routing of the remote audio matrix to ensure the

audio from the local room to the remote room is not being sent directly back

to the local room.

Room Gain Is High - What Does It Mean?

Chapter 7 discusses room gain and what the acceptable and expected levels

should be for ceiling microphones vs. table microphones. Room gain above

+10 dB should be reviewed to ensure the input gain on the remote audio

sources is high enough to get the remote sources to the 0 dBu nominal signal

level expected by the SoundStructure devices.
