About Nureva audio conferencing systems
Nureva audio conferencing systems resolve the frustrating and persistent issue of poor audio pickup, especially
in dynamic environments where participants move around the room.
At the core of the systems is Nureva’s patented Microphone Mist technology, which places thousands of virtual microphones throughout a space to pick up sound from any location to ensure that everyone is clearly heard regardless of where they are in the room or the direction they are facing. Users also have the option to limit the audio pickup to a specific zone within a space, such
as the front of the room, making it ideal for corporate presentation scenarios and lecture capture in higher education. The systems use sophisticated algorithms to simultaneously process sound from all virtual microphones
to provide remote participants with
a high-quality listening experience, enabled by continuous autocalibration, simultaneous echo cancellation, position-based automatic gain
control and sound masking. When combined with the NurevaTM Wall
visual collaboration solution or other interactive display, Nureva audio conferencing systems can also be
used as the primary source for audio and video playback. The systems are designed to work with Microsoft® Teams, Skype® for Business, Zoom, RingCentral®, GoogleTM HangoutsTM, Cisco WebExTM, GoToMeeting® and other common UC&C applications. Current models include the HDL300 system and Dual HDL300 system. For more information, visit the Nureva website. n
