“I can’t hear you. Can you hear me?”

These are some of the most dreaded phrases to hear when starting a meeting. You may wonder how muchtime you’re going to waste figuring out the issue–especially if the meeting is urgent or one you would simply like toget over with.

The modern hybrid workplace should support effective communication and collaboration among team members. Installing compatible professional audio equipment in your conference rooms is key to achieving that. Whether in-person or remote, your team members need to be able to hear and be heard during collaboration.
