Hence the boom microphone. Preferably with acoustic cancelling.
The boom places the microphone close to your mouth so it's gain is very low. Having two mics on the boom setup to constructively add only the speaker's voice does extra cancelling.
This is how call centers work
EDIT: by boom mic I mean headsets with a boom attached. High end ones are specifically designed to eliminate ambient noise.
- mkl 3y agoNoise-cancelling boom mics are great in my experience. Even loud external noise just disappears. I did experiments with office noise, planes, trucks, weedeaters, doors slamming, etc., and only the door slams got picked up.
- thsksbd 3y agoBest part is they work without needing a CPU intensive algorithm guessing what part of the signal is noise and introducing lag.
- pamelafox 3y agoDo you have any specific recs? Happy to research mic upgrades.
- thsksbd 3y agoNo. I'm just interested in the physics/electronics due to my academic background. I have, maybe, two meetings a week in a basement all to myself
