Set HDL300 as your default audio device

Follow these steps to set up the HDL300 system as the default audio device.

Open Nureva Console client

• Select Device Settings
• Select Open Sound settings

In Windows sound settings

• Select the Playback tab
• Select HDL300 (Echo Cancelling Speakerphone)
• Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default Communication device
• Select HDL300 (Echo Cancelling Speakerphone)
• Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default device

In Windows sound settings

• Select the Recording tab
• Select HDL300 (Echo Cancelling Speakerphone)
• Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default Communication device
• Select HDL300 (Echo Cancelling Speakerphone)
• Using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the panel, choose Set as Default device

Once the sound settings have been set to the HDL300, return to the Nureva Console application.

Microphone

Configure the microphone system to be mono input or stereo input.

• Mono (Default)
  • Captures in-room audio as a single source
• Stereo
  • Captures in-room audio as left and right sources
  • Remote participants using headsets may be able to determine the approximate position of in-room participants while they speak

A troubleshooting setting is available to adjust microphone gain if remote participants are having trouble hearing the speaker.  Learn more information at Microphone gain setting for advanced troubleshooting.

Speakers

Nureva Console offers a meeting room and classroom pre-sets for treble and bass output.  If additional adjustment is required, select Custom to adjust the treble and the bass for your room.

• Meeting room (Default)
• Classroom
• Custom (Treble and bass sliders are available)

 Adjusting the treble and bass can affect echo-cancellation performance. It is recommended to adjust these settings while on a test call.

Using the Play sound test button will play a series of tones through the HDL300's speakers, confirming that the speakers are functioning.

See our How can I test my Nureva audio conferencing system's speakers and microphones? article to further test or debug the speakers.

Audio processing

The HDL300 continuously auto-calibrates for optimal audio quality. Adjust these audio processing settings only if you are experiencing problems. 

Echo reduction

If remote users hear voices in the room cutting out while speaking, select a lower setting. If remote users can hear their own voices echo, select a higher setting.

• Low
• Medium (Default)
• High

Noise reduction

If remote users hear voices in the room cutting out, select a lower setting. If remote users hear background noises such as HVAC or fans, select a higher setting.

• Low
• Medium (Default)
• High

Recalibrate

Initiate the Recalibrate when the room has changed significantly to quickly optimize the audio performance of the Nureva audio conferencing system. More information about system calibration is available here.

Auxiliary ports

Aux in

Connect auxiliary input source to be output through the HDL300 speaker. The signals from the auxiliary in port will get mixed with any signals from a USB audio source.  

Aux out

Select an auxiliary output mode for interoperability with other audio systems.

• Mic level   (Echo-cancelled microphone output at mic level)
  • Used for recorders and mixers
• Line level  (Default echo-cancelled microphone output at line level)
  • Used for external DSP's
• Speaker out   (Speaker output at line level )
  • Used for external speakers
• Mixed-signal  (Mixed microphone and speaker signals at line level)
  • Used for hearing aid transmitters
• Speaker reference (Speaker output at line level and HDL300 speaker still active)
  • Used for acoustic camera tracking systems.

Sleep mode

This allows the system to go into power-saving mode and is defaulted to enabled.

  Disable sleep mode if your HDL300 is connected using any auxiliary ports.

Active Zone Control

Active Zone Control enables a user to configure the microphone pickup of the HDL300 system for a specific part of the room. The microphone pickup in the active zone will be heard clearly while sounds outside the active zone will be reduced.

• Slide the toggle to Enable Active Zone Control to the on position
• Use the drag handles (or enter the length and width) to adjust the active zone size.
• Speak and walk around in your desired active zone location. Blue dots will appear in the zone overview to indicate where the sound is being heard. Adjust your partial zone size to ensure all speaking locations are heard clearly.
• Once the active zone is enabled, the remote can be used to toggle between full zone coverage and partial zone coverage by pressing the F2 button on the remote.

• Blue dots will appear in the zone overview wherever the HDL300 system registers sound. No audio is being recorded.
• The dot locations can help to identify your ideal active zone size within the space.
• Press stop mapping to exit this sound visualization feature.
