Audio equipment for council chambers

THE CHALLENGE

Video can be recovered; a council session's audio cannot

In an institutional session, what matters is what is said. Feedback, an open microphone or a network outage turns a four-hour session into an unusable record.

  • Sessions you cannot follow

    Badly managed microphones that make part of the interventions unintelligible.

  • Feedback and noise

    Acoustic feedback in rooms with a PA system and many open microphones.

  • Losing the session

    A network outage during the broadcast, with no local backup, leaves the council with no minutes.

WHAT WE SUPPLY

The chamber's entire audio chain

cinfo supplies and installs the discussion systems, the additional microphones, the signal mixer and the audio and video backup system that guarantees the session is never lost.

Discussion systems with intuitive per-seat microphone and volume control.

Native compatibility with microphone-driven automatic camera control.

Built-in digital acoustic feedback suppression.

A high-sensitivity ambient microphone and local recording, mirrored to the cloud.

HOW IT WORKS

From the microphone to the minutes, with no single point of failure

The chamber's audio does more than go on air: it drives the cameras and is backed up twice over.

  • Capture

    Per-seat discussion units, wireless microphones and an ambient microphone.

  • Mixing

    A signal mixer with extra inputs and outputs for other sources.

  • Camera control

    The active microphone automatically determines which shot goes on air.

  • Backup

    Local and cloud-mirrored recording, triggered automatically if the network drops.

FEATURES

Equipment built for long sessions

  • Discussion units

    Up to 245 units per system, with intuitive microphone and speaker control.

  • Feedback suppression

    Digital acoustic feedback suppression built into the system.

  • Camera control

    Native compatibility with the venue's automatic camera control.

  • Advanced configuration

    Control from a built-in browser and from a tablet, with no extra software.

  • Signal mixer

    Four extra inputs for microphones or line sources, and four outputs.

  • Wireless microphone

    For public interventions, civic events and award ceremonies.

  • Monitoring

    A headphone jack and built-in speaker to check the signal in the room.

  • Power saving

    A power-saving mode that cuts cost and extends the equipment's life.

BENEFITS

The minutes rest on audio that does not fail

  • Intelligible sessions

    Every intervention is heard clearly, in the room and on the broadcast.

  • Automatic broadcasting made possible

    The microphone system is what allows the session to be directed with no camera operator.

  • No session lost

    Local and cloud backup allows the session to be post-produced even if the network fails.

  • An institutional installation

    Discreet, reliable equipment designed for a room in permanent use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What councils ask

How many seats does the system take?

Up to 245 discussion units per system, more than enough for any municipal chamber.

Does the audio drive the cameras?

Yes. The discussion system is natively compatible with automatic camera control: the active microphone determines the shot on air.

What if the internet drops?

Local recording of the ambient audio and every video source starts automatically, so the session can be post-produced afterwards.

Does it prevent feedback?

The system includes built-in digital acoustic feedback suppression, designed for rooms with a PA and many microphones.

Can microphones be added for the public?

Yes. The kit includes a wireless microphone for the public or civic events, plus a set of two additional microphones.

Is a server needed at the council?

Only for redundant local recording, which is an optional service. The rest of the system runs on the cloud platform.
