Audio Interference

Checking one’s installation for hard-to-predict situations includes spot-checking for:

live audio. Coordinate the testing of audio with fire alarm and security alarm testing. Using View, connect to that Multi-Media unit and check audio for feedback and interference, before and during alarms.

Loud alarms can interfere with microphones or a speaker at times when they could be needed most.

recorded audio. After a day or two, check for background noise in recordings, using a retrieval session to spotcheck each microphone for a few seconds at every half-hour or so, during a 24 hour period. This can reveal if microphones are placed too near sources of background noise, such as a vent, that are amplified to a point where they interfere with audio. Hard to predict noise from the area’s soundscape—rush-hour traffic, passing trains and planes, crowds in a stadium, and so on—may not have been apparent during the installation of the microphones and speakers.

Audio with LocalView

At sites where LocalView is in use, Channel 2 of audio can be reserved for use onsite. View operators using these sites can use only Channel 1. Audio can be changed by Multi System Administrators by using View to connect to the Multi-Media unit.
