Lakehead University has invested in the DCS 6000 Digital Conference System and has six systems with a total of more than 300 portable microphones - all with two built-in channel selectors in order for two students each to share a microphone. Simultaneous interpretation with six channels (English, French, Cree, Ojibway, Innu and a guest language) is also available at the university. The system has a maximum of 32 channels.
All the digital microphone units are delivered with the intelligent Voice Active Technology (VOX). VOX facilitates a discussion as the student may speak without remembering to push the button.
Voice active microphones have the ability to measure audio activity around the microphone capsule. When a student starts to speak, the system will process the speech activity and decide intelligently and instantly when to turn on the microphone. Likewise the microphone will be turned off when there is no valid voice activity.
