Conference Room Audio Standards for Hybrid Meetings (IT + Facilities)
Hybrid meetings need standards teams can measure and enforce. This guide defines a baseline set that works across 10-100 room portfolios.
Who this guide is for: IT managers and facilities leaders managing 10-100 conference rooms in hybrid meeting environments.
Trust note: Keep measured values and inferred guidance separate when deciding room fixes.
Set measurable standards
Your standard should include RT60, background noise, and mic coverage.
Add pass/fail guidance and confidence indicators.
- Echo control: RT60 target band by volume
- Noise stability: quiet baseline under defined threshold
- Coverage quality: all seats represented in mapped zones
Standardize the process
Define how each measurement is captured, who captures it, and which conditions are required.
Consistent process is what makes comparisons reliable.
Report for decisions
Summaries should show confidence, trend, and next action.
Avoid opaque aggregate numbers without measurement context.
FAQ
Do standards need to be different for boardrooms and huddle rooms?
Yes. Room size and usage patterns justify different acceptable ranges and remediation priorities.
Should standards include specific hardware brands?
No. Standards should focus on measurable outcomes, not product preferences.
Can AV integrators align to these standards?
Yes. They can use them for pre-install discovery and post-install acceptance criteria.
