Microphone smarts to help councils communicate *

Prime Minister, John Howard, at the end of his chairing the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting at Coolum in March 2002, where Brahler DIGIMIC microphones with PC control were used by the Australian Government, walked to the Bramshaw control desk and said that it was wonderful to be able to clearly hear all that was said in a conference, as well as easily explaining to the other Heads of State how the system worked.

The system used enabled Heads of State who wished to speak to simply press their microphone queuing button for their full name and title to appear in order on the Chair’s monitor screen. Bramshaw TourGuide for sound reinforcement (hard to detect receivers and ear phones) for the hard of hearing were also used.

Whether it is the public or private sector, and no matter how simple or complex the meeting, Bramshaw has a Brahler ICS system for microphones, both digital and analog, automatic DIGIVOTE® voting systems, hard disc recording and with fibre optic or Category 5 communications. These systems are used in various parliaments, the United Nations in New York and Local Government chambers around the world.

Dietmar Funk from Germany’s Frankfurt Central Bank said that he now has less work to do after installing a Brahler® CDS-VANTM (Virtual Audio NetworkTM) system complete with a messaging system from three meeting rooms.

Malaysian Telecom also uses the system and reports that it is now easier with its Brahler ICS CDS-VANTM system to make different configurations for speech, music and entertainment. It is simply a matter of installing project software files for each type and the system runs automatically.

CDS-VANTM replaces mixers, equalisers and other expensive sound gear and puts it all on a PC.
