Hybrid meeting setup: from small rooms to large spaces

 

Scenario

Basic setup

Additional features

Hub DSP receiver with Dante® and network connectivity features

Scenario:

  • Hub DSP receiver with 2 or 4 mic channels (standard or with Dante® and network connectivity)
  • Catchbox microphones (mix of Cube, Clip and Stick as needed)
  • Computer for video conferencing 
  • Loudspeakers for voice lift
  • Optional: Assistive listening devices, additional audio sources, integration with other microphone systems

This setup can be fully implemented with a standard Hub DSP receiver. The networking version offers additional features, detailed below.

Basic setup:

  1. Connect the Hub DSP receiver to power
  2. On the Hub's screen, navigate to the IN section and pair each microphone, if not yet paired
  3. Connect the Hub to your computer via USB for video conferencing
  4. In Hub Global Settings, set USB Device mode to Speakerphone
  5. Connect loudspeakers to the mixed 3-pin output for in-room amplification

Additional features:

  • Connect an assistive listening device to the RCA output
  • Use AUX-IN to connect a presenter's computer, sending audio to both in-room and remote participants
  • To control voice lift level go to OUT section -> RCA or mixed 3-pin and adjust the voice lift level as needed (range down to -20dB)
  • For larger spaces, where x1 Hub with a 4 channel mic connectivity is insufficient, consider using multiple Hub DSP receivers and daisy-chain them using the AUX-IN and RCA out ports
  • Hub DSP receiver automatically applies Auto EQ, Auto level, Echo canceller, and Feedback suppression by allowing these features to work in the background for optimal audio quality without manual intervention
  • Cost savings on additional equipment, such as a separate mixer, DSP, etc. 

Hub DSP receiver with Dante® and network connectivity features:

Connect the Hub to your network for remote control and monitoring or integrating additional audio systems - go to the OUT section -> Dante® and enable the needed Dante® channels. 

Use Catchbox Control and monitoring center for advanced system management.
