Speakerphone in a small room squeals or resonates

A speakerphone too close to a wall or whiteboard can enter a feedback loop. Placement and volume decide whether it works, not the device.

Try this first

  1. 1Place the speakerphone in the middle of the table, not at the edge near a wall.
  2. 2Keep the speaker away from shiny or hard walls, glass produces a lot of reflection.
  3. 3Lower volume until comfortably audible, louder is rarely better and invites feedback.
  4. 4A Jabra Speak, Poly Sync or Logitech P710e are typical speakerphones, for rooms from six people up you really choose something else.
  5. 5Test in comparable use, a full small room behaves differently from an empty test room.
  6. 6Document which speakerphones belong to which room, otherwise people grab one from a drawer and place it anywhere.

When to bring us in

Frequent feedback or more than six people, a real room system or DSP connection is better. Vectel can plan the step.
