Microphone coverage

How many microphones are in each HDX audio bar?

Each Nureva® HDX audio bar contains a 10-microphone, two-dimensional array that contributes to the unified Microphone Mist coverage map.

How many microphones are in each HDX microphone pod?

Each HDX microphone pod contains a 10-microphone array.

Does the HDX system provide full-room microphone coverage?

Yes. HDX systems use Nureva’s Microphone Mist technology to provide full-room microphone coverage.

What is Microphone Mist technology?

Microphone Mist fills the room with thousands of virtual microphones, maintaining consistent audio pickup no matter where people are or how the room is configured.

How does Microphone Mist work?

Microphone Mist combines all physical microphone arrays into a single unified coverage map, creating thousands of virtual microphones that adapt automatically as people move or furniture changes.

How does the unified coverage map work?

The unified coverage map is a feature of Microphone Mist technology that simplifies and improves the performance of multiple physical microphone arrays in large spaces. It collects data from each array and processes it together as a single unified 3D microphone array. This eliminates the need for complex manual configuration and helps maintain consistent audio across the room, including when multiple people speak at once.

Where is all digital signal processing (DSP) handled?

All digital signal processing is centralized in the HDX system hub, eliminating the need for external DSP hardware.


Speaker audio

Does the HDX series provide distributed full-range speaker coverage?

Yes. The Nureva HDX series delivers full-range distributed audio for room-filling sound throughout large spaces.

What is full-range distributed audio?

Full-range distributed audio enhances in-room playback of media content such as videos and presentations, as well as amplified speech. This is separate from far-end conferencing audio and is intended for everyone in the physical space.

Does the HDX series support program audio playback?

Yes. The HDX system is designed to reproduce program audio such as video, music, and other media across the room.

Does the HDX series support a subwoofer?

Yes. The HDX system hub includes a dedicated ¼" TRS subwoofer output with crossover control to extend low-frequency response when needed.

Is the HDX suitable for extra-large rooms?

Yes, depending on configuration. The Nureva HDX system is designed to maintain clarity and intelligibility in extra-large spaces with distributed speakers, wide dispersion, and consistent Sound Pressure Level (SPL) targets.
