Meeting Rooms & Video Conferencing
Meeting room audio fix, on site
People on the call say they can't hear anyone at the far end of the table and the room echoes.

Poor meeting audio is the complaint remote participants make most often, and it usually comes down to distance and reflections. A single speakerphone or video bar microphone can only pick up voices clearly within a limited range, and glass walls and hard floors bounce sound back into it. We test the existing setup on a live call and listen from the far end. Room size is measured too.
What the technician does
- Test the room's microphones, speakers and settings
- Reposition or add microphones and adjust audio settings
- Test a call from every seat
Sit at the far end of the table on the test call - that is where the complaints come from.
About meeting room audio fix
Fixes range from settings to hardware: moving the speakerphone to the middle of the table, adding an extension microphone, switching on echo cancellation or noise suppression, or replacing a laptop-grade device with conferencing audio built for the room. Where echo is the main problem, we say so and suggest soft furnishings or acoustic panels alongside the equipment changes. A final test call is made from the furthest seat to confirm the change.
What usually causes it
- One microphone is trying to cover a long table
- Glass walls and hard floors cause echo
- Speaker volume is set too high and feeds back into the microphone
- Settings in Teams or Zoom pick the wrong audio device
Before we arrive

What a visit looks like
When you book meeting room audio fix, you tell us what's going on and we reply with a time that suits you and a price. Nothing starts until you're happy with both.
On the day, the technician arrives, looks at the problem in person and confirms the plan with you before starting. If something turns out different from what was expected - a part is needed, or the cause is somewhere else - we stop and agree the change with you first.
When the work is done we test it with you, show you what was changed, and leave the area tidy. For business jobs we note what we did, so there is a record for whoever looks after your IT next.
Pricing
Each meeting room audio fix job is priced before work starts. The price depends on what's involved - the size of the site, the equipment, and whether parts are needed - so the quickest way to a number is to tell us about the job on the booking form.
There is no contract and no monthly fee. You book the job you need and pay for that job.
Meeting room audio fix: questions
Do we need ceiling microphones?
Only in larger rooms or where the table must stay clear. Most small and medium rooms are well served by table or extension microphones placed close to the people talking.
Will acoustic panels really help?
In echoey rooms, yes. Microphones pick up reflections from glass and hard walls, and softening those surfaces makes speech clearer for remote participants. We can suggest simple options.
Do you do meeting room audio fix on site?
Yes. We come to businesses and homes across Auckland and Hamilton and do the work where the equipment is.
How much does meeting room audio fix cost?
It depends on what's involved. Tell us about the job on the form and we'll confirm the price before any work starts.
