Speechi Cascade Microphones Adapt to Your Video Conferences

With remote work becoming widespread in companies, video conferencing has naturally become a standard work habit, prompting many businesses to equip themselves accordingly. In this article, we focus on the two cascade microphones offered by Speechi—two reliable, simple, and effective solutions for your team’s video conferences.

Audio: A Recurring Issue in Video Conferences

One of the most common types of video conference meetings is hybrid team meetings, where part of the team attends in person in a meeting room while connecting with remote colleagues via an interactive touchscreen display.

However, it raises a technical challenge—sound quality. How can each in-person participant be clearly heard by remote colleagues and hear them back with equal clarity? We’ve all experienced it—without high-quality sound, an effective working session is impossible.

Cascade Microphones: A Mobile and Flexible Solution for Your Video Conferences

What is a wireless speaker-microphone that can be cascaded, commonly referred to as a “cascade microphone”? Let’s clarify for those unfamiliar with the concept. 

What is a Cascade Microphone? ()

A cascade microphone is, first and foremost, a wireless speaker-microphone mounted on a base, designed to be placed in the center of a table, such as our SPE-BM21. As the name suggests, it serves a dual function—as both a microphone and a speaker.

Omnidirectional microphone (360°)

Its omnidirectional microphone captures all speech around it (360° and up to a varying distance depending on the model) and transmits it to remote colleagues…

Meanwhile, its speaker delivers clear audio from remote participants.

While it operates like a standard speaker-microphone, the key differentiator lies in its cascading capability. With a cascade microphone, multiple units of the same model can be linked together to expand the capture range, ensuring that all participants—whether in a meeting of 6, 8, 10, or even 20 people—can be heard and hear remote colleagues with clarity.
