Sound technology
Miking and insonification, translation solutions or the provision of a sound package for press representatives. We offer a wide range of audio technology for your event.
What we offer you:
Microphones
Without a microphone, you cannot be heard in the livestream or on site. Different microphones can be used depending on the type of event and application.
For discussions with many changing participants, hand-held microphones that can be passed on may be suitable. For fixed speakers, boom or lavalier microphones are suitable.
Below you will find an overview of the different types of microphones you can book with us.
The all-rounder.
The hand-held microphone is versatile. It can be moved and passed on freely and offers good sound quality.
It can also be quickly and easily placed on a microphone stand, making it a simple solution for a lectern. It is also suitable as an auditorium microphone for questions from the audience. It is particularly suitable for many changing speakers and is extremely easy to use. It is also particularly robust and less susceptible to interference and feedback.
Please note that you only have one hand free, e.g. for presentation cards. Use small cards or create a place on the stage where you can place your cards (e.g. coffee table).
Boom or headset microphones are particularly suitable for events with speakers who speak continuously or repeatedly over the entire duration of the event.
They give your speakers free hands, e.g. for presentation cards.
Furthermore, boom microphones are particularly suitable for people who wear clothing that is unsuitable for lavalier microphones. However, we recommend wearing a belt for the wireless transmitter of the boom microphone.
They are unobtrusive and provide consistently loud and good sound.
In contrast to hand-held and table microphones, however, these microphones must be fitted by a qualified person before the event begins or, if necessary, during a break in the event.
Particularly high and stiff collars, full beards or long, loose hair can cause interference noise with these microphones.
Clip-on or lavalier microphones are widely used in the event industry, but also in the broadcast sector. They are particularly unobtrusive and offer excellent sound quality.
It should also be noted that these must be installed and set up by qualified personnel in advance of the event.
Clip-on microphones are suitable for use with matching clothing. However, they are not suitable for many dresses in particular.
Like boom microphones, they allow your speaker’s hands to be free.
Many speakers prefer this type of microphone because it is unobtrusive and a headset can be perceived as distracting.
Gooseneck or table microphones are particularly suitable for events where the speakers speak at fixed locations and want to check for themselves whether their microphone is “open” – i.e. active.
They are easy to use and allow you to control the speaking sequence on the technical side. A moderator can therefore deprive other people of the floor by switching off the microphone.
A red light indicates whether the microphone is active and the built-in speakers ensure that the other speakers can be clearly heard by the respective participants.
In contrast to boom and lavalier microphones, these microphones can be used completely independently of the checkroom and allow your speakers to arrive at short notice, as the cabling can be done in advance and your speakers can simply take their seats.
The lectern microphone is durable and of a high quality. It is easy to wire and suitable for events that include a lectern for speakers or speeches.
The look gives it an “official” touch. The microphone can also be easily adjusted in height using the handle on its neck, so that each speaker can adjust the microphone to their own height.
The microphone must be addressed directly in order to offer its quality and the speaker should be close to the console.
In addition to the microphones for recording individual speakers, there are a variety of different microphones for other applications.
These can be, for example
- Vocal microphones
- Studio microphones
- Instrument microphones
- Directional and head microphones
- Atmospheric microphones
- Boundary microphones
- Throw microphones for audience questions
- Clay fishing rods, and many more.
If you require special microphones, please contact us and we will find a solution for your application.
Sound systems
After selecting the right microphones, it’s time to choose the sound system. A good listening experience and understanding of the event can only be guaranteed for everyone present on site if the system has sufficient power and quality.
We also offer you a number of options in this area which can guarantee a successful event for you.
Small boxes are ideal for events without a local audience or for group events.
They allow your speakers to hear people, video feeds or other sound sources without the risk of feedback and without causing a lot of set-up work.
They are small, light and inexpensive, but fulfill their purpose in the respective application. This in turn translates into a cost advantage for you.
Medium speakers are suitable for events with a small audience, such as specialist presentations or press conferences.
With an audience of up to approx. 50 people, you can guarantee the intelligibility of the speakers in the room as well as the playback of feeds or video inserts.
Their sound characteristics are ideal for speech reproduction.
Our medium-sized boxes are still easy to transport and can be set up quickly by one person.
Despite the available power, they are quite inconspicuous and only minimally disrupt the appearance of your event.
Our large boxes are suitable for events with up to 200 spectators.
These speakers are usually mounted on a stand and, due to their size, offer a full sound that is also suitable for playing music.
Thanks to their robust design, these speakers are also suitable for outdoor use.
Sound systems are installed in many venues.
Thanks to our many years of experience, we are now familiar with many systems. As a rule, however, the venue also provides a qualified person to whom we can hand over a mixed sound file. Of course, it is also possible to pick up the sound from existing microphones.
We can plan the sound solution for the respective venue during a location inspection.
In addition to general sound reinforcement solutions for your entire audience on site, we also offer solutions for individuals or groups. This includes, for example:
- A radio solution for stage directions for moderation (so-called button in the ear)
- Translation solutions such as headphones with simultaneous translation. Details can be found here.
- Intercom systems for communication between the various trades
- Transmission of the event sound to adjacent rooms – and more…
Please contact us and we will find the right solution for you.
Mixing and handover
As a livestream provider with several years of experience, working with external sound engineers at the event location is no longer a novelty for us.
If technicians, microphones and / or a sound system are already available on site, we can also set up and guarantee a very good sound connection quickly and cleanly with a few arrangements and skillful hand movements.
Particularly with live streams, more complex sound circuits can quickly occur. For example, people connected in the room and in the livestream should be able to be heard, but not have to hear themselves. Thanks to our many years of experience, such circuits are a matter of course and commonplace for us. We also mix inserts, videos, music and other sound sources for the room as well as for the live stream or for people connected. They benefit from our modern digital mixing consoles, which can be programmed for many processes and then execute them automatically.
If a location has a sound system with microphones, we are of course able to take over the sound of this system for the livestream. Thanks to our preconfigured systems and work with industry standards, this is possible in just a few simple steps.
If a sound system is installed in your location or, for example, the sound of a feed or video is to be transferred to the location’s sound control room, we also offer simple solutions that meet current industry standards. We are happy to arrange the signal paths and handover points with the parties involved during a location inspection.
Press splitter
If you plan to pass on the sound of the hall, virtual guests or recorded videos etc. to any press representatives present, we offer press-splitters in various sizes.
These can be set up quickly on site and external reporters can simply connect to a sum via cable and tap into the mixed sound.
Audio recording
As part of a livestream, a live-on-tape production, but also as part of a purely virtual production, we usually create a recording. Of course, we can also produce an audio-only recording for you. This can be useful both for logging purposes and for secondary use on a wide variety of platforms.
Virtual production & podcast recording
Thanks to our existing virtual studios and our many years of experience, it is easy for us to provide you with a platform to produce both video and audio-only podcasts quickly and technically flawlessly. A particular advantage is the ease of participation from any location. Of course, we can also support you in this case with microphones, cameras, webcams and the like.
Translation solutions
We offer various solutions to make your event accessible to a large audience. This includes transmission solutions, both for your audience on site and in the livestream. If you would like to find out about the various options, you will find them on the following page:
The right tone makes the music
As you can see, sound technology is a wide-ranging field, the importance of which should not be underestimated. There are many design possibilities, but there are also a few things that need to be considered in detail.
As a partner for your event, easylivestream.de is the ideal choice thanks to our many years of experience in a wide range of applications.
