Conference microphones are an important tool at meetings & conferences
It is important that the microphones for use at conferences and meetings deliver clear sound, are easy to operate and that they are adapted to the needs of the meeting participants.
If you are faced with having to plan a meeting or major conference in 2024, the use of microphones is one of the things that often needs to be considered. If it is a small meeting, a small number of microphones may need to be used in a meeting room, while a large number may need to be used at a larger conference. It is all about the communication the meeting participants must be able to have with each other. Below you can read about what is a good idea to decide on the use of conference microphones and read about the different types of conference microphones that we most often rent out to our customers.
What should you consider when renting and using microphones for meetings & conferences?
Consider the type of communication you would like your meeting participants to be able to have with each other using the microphones.
BOSCH DCN Multimedia microphone
It is a good idea to consider the following when choosing microphones for meetings & conferences:
- Should both speakers and participants have access to microphones?
- What types of microphones should be used? (Table microphones, lectern microphones, wireless microphones, etc.)
- Do participants need their own table microphones (how many)?
- Can the participants settle for a wireless microphone for "questions from the floor".
- Should the table microphones allow for e.g. parliamentary voting?
- Should the microphones be connected to a loudspeaker system?
- What more Jesper? 🙂

Other types of conference microphones
In addition to the traditional conference microphones from BOSCH, there may also be a need for e.g. other types of wireless microphones and lectern microphones.
Teletech rents out several different types of wireless microphones
Often, at larger conferences, there will be a need for wireless headset or hand-held microphones for speakers who, e.g. must be able to move freely on a stage. There may also be a need for lectern microphones or microphones on a stand.
One or more wireless microphones can also be used for questions from the audience, just as a catchbox microphone can be used if, for example, want a different interaction with the audience.
Below you can see the other types of microphones we rent out for meetings, conferences and events.
DPA Headset microphone
The DPA headset microphones are ideal for speakers who want total freedom of movement on stage or would like to be able to move around in a larger meeting room. The microphones are small and do not weigh very much, which makes them comfortable to wear. They are connected to the beltpack transmitter, which the speaker usually has mounted on his belt or in his pocket.
Wireless microphones - handheld, clip-on or on a stand
Shure & Sennheiser are known for their microphones and we rent several different types of wireless models - both handheld and clip-on with beltpack. Both options make it easy for speakers to move around freely while presenting. Clip-on, which e.g. mounted on a tie or on a shirt, provides the greatest freedom of movement. The hand-held microphones can also be mounted on a stand that stands on the stage.
Lectern microphone
If speakers are to present from a lectern, a lectern microphone can also easily be set up on the lectern itself.
Catchbox microphone
If you want a different interaction with your audience, you can choose to use a Catchbox microphone . The microphone consists of a kind of foam square in which a microphone is mounted. Speakers can then throw this to their audience for comments and the audience can then pass it on to each other.
