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