    Article summary

    Active Zone Control with the Nureva® HDL300 system targets microphone pickup in a specific part of the room. Enabling Active Zone Control ensures that sound is heard clearly in the part of the room selected.

    For example, Active Zone Control can be enabled to capture clear audio while a presenter moves around at the front of the room. The sounds of audience members outside the active zone will be less pronounced.

    Active Zone Control is not intended to provide full-time limitations to a specific pickup area. This feature is designed only for situations in which someone needs to be heard above the other people in the room. Active Zone Control should be turned off when the system is not in use.

    How to enable Active Zone Control

    • In Nureva Console, go to the Active Zone Control accordion at the bottom of Settings.

    • Slide the toggle to the right.

    Configure the zone size

    • When enabled, Active Zone Control automatically switches from full zone to partial zone to allow customization.

    • Use the drag handles (or enter the length and width) to adjust the active zone size. Units of measurement can be changed from meters to feet.

    • Speak and walk around in the selected active zone location. Blue dots will appear in the zone overview to indicate where the sound is being heard in the space. Adjust the partial zone size to ensure all speaking locations are heard clearly.
