Webinars - What's your Hardware setup?

[Sam_Chou1]

Hello fellow marketers,

I was wondering if any of you wouldn't mind sharing your webinar setup in terms of hardware? Are you running audio through your telephone line or via USB mics (any recommendations)? Also, how do you accommodate multiple speakers in the same room (without using speakerphone since the audio sounds poor and far away)? 

We're at a point where we almost have our Marketo webinars down to a science, but consistent, high-quality audio is always a gamble. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sam,

At Quintiq we are using VoIP for our audio and USB headphones with microphones for our presenters. For us, this works best as the audio via telephone line tends to break down quite often and it doesn't allow for multiple presenters (and organizers/moderators) to be in one room at the same time.

In the webinar tool that we use (GoToWebinar from Citrix), we simply mute the speaker(s) that are not presenting at that moment, and in combination with the headphones the audio doesn't interfere.

I hope this answer helps.

Best,

Stephan
