Council Chambers, Coquitlam, BC

Government

The City of Coquitlam Council Chambers hosts regular council meetings with the Mayor and Council. Responsible for local government leadership and decision-making in the City of Coquitlam, these chambers are pivotal to the plans, strategies, and other publications that guide the City’s work and support transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Purpose

The courthouse required a microphone that would provide excellent pickup patterns, allowing the presenter to be able to move freely around the lectern.

Challenge

The system that was previously installed was not working effectively. They needed to provide clear sound, so that the speaker could be heard throughout the Council Chambers. 

Solution

The City of Coquitlam Council Chambers is now home to TOA's AM-1 Real-time Steering Array Microphone System. This system is equipped with a built-in sensor to detect and track sound sources, capturing voices clearly and continuously from either side, above or below. This frees the speakers to move back and forth in the vicinity of the podium, turn or tilt their heads to address different sections of the audience, or gesture naturally without concern for the location of the microphone.  

Feedback

The council chambers and installer were very pleased with the dynamic sound, functionality and ease of operation and installation of this microphone.
