Why Should You Avoid a One-Size-Fits-All Conference Room?

Find a Conference Room AV Solution that Matches Your Company Needs

Every business can benefit from a collaborative space to share ideas amongst employees or introduce new clients to your products. Though many companies offer one-size-fits-all conference room AV solutions, there are several reasons you'll want to opt for a custom one in your New Orleans, LA office.

Space limitations and room responsibilities will vary from boardroom to boardroom, so why shouldn’t your technology reflect that? Each section of this blog highlights ways a one-size-fits-all solution could fall short along the way.

It Won’t Match Your Space

Even though many companies still use traditional boardrooms that sit 10-15 people, they’re no longer the norm. Recently, many companies are transitioning to huddle room spaces with five to ten people instead. Opting for a one-size-fits-all solution could result in a display that is too big for a small space or microphones and speakers that can’t fill out a larger one.

For optimal results, you want a conference room AV solution designed with your space's size and layout in mind. With the ideal number and arrangement of speakers and microphones, everyone will hear without feedbacks or echoes. Optimize your display size, placement and resolution, so everyone has a clear view of the screen.

It Won’t Match Your Company

Do you want to use your conference room just for video calls or for brainstorming sessions as well? Do you plan on using the room for training or even podcast recordings? Most one-size-fits-all solutions come with pretty basic AV and collaboration tools. Will that be enough for your company?

Even if you’re only doing conference calls, for better video calls, you need a networking foundation to avoid freezing and lagging. Want a better way to collaborate? Interactive whiteboards let you jot down notes during collaborative meetings with your team.

Does your conference room serve as a makeshift recording studio? Employ high-performance microphones, amplifiers, and DSPs when recording training, presentations or promotional content.

It Won’t Match Your Employees

Employees who aren’t tech-savvy will benefit from conference room AV solutions offering touchpads that let them efficiently manage lights, audio, video, and even climate. These touchpads come with personalized scenes that immediately prepare the room for regular uses.

What if you have a lot of remote employees? We recommend working with a company like Crestron that makes it easier to incorporate collaborative web platforms like Zoom Meetings. Remote employees can quickly join into these platforms as needed. And with your enterprise-grade network, it’s easy for everyone to share content wirelessly during meetings.
