Solasto Corporation Achieves Seamless Hybrid Meetings with Natural Voices Using MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphones and IntelliMix® P300 DSP

Customer Profile

Solasto Corporation is a company engaged in medical, nursing care, childcare, and smart hospital businesses. Founded in 1965 as Japan's first medical office education institution, Solasto has expanded its services to include medical office outsourcing and various educational programs. The company supports over 1,400 medical institutions nationwide and operates 700+ nursing care facilities and 67 licensed nurseries.

Challenge

Solasto emphasizes a hybrid work style, with meetings often including online participants. However, in large meeting rooms, voices were difficult to hear. Existing table-mounted speakerphones required extensive preparation and often led to issues that called for administrative intervention. The office relocation necessitated enhanced meeting room audio equipment.

Solution

Initially considering gooseneck microphones, Solasto shifted focus to ceiling array microphones due to concerns about scalability and usability. After experiencing the MXA920 and Voice Lift at Shure's showroom, they appreciated the solution's ability to address both in-room and remote audio issues, ease of use without setup, and the clean desk aesthetic. Integration with BARCO ClickShare was also a key factor.

Advantages

• Optimal Sound Quality: The MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphones resolved all audio issues, ensuring clear voice capture from anywhere in the room.
• Ease of Operation: The system integrates with ClickShare, allowing seamless use with just a projector switch. The Voice Lift feature ensures optimal audio balance, and the system's ease of use and minimal preparation requirements have significantly improved meeting efficiency.
• Flexibility: The system supports various meeting formats, including hybrid meetings, with no need for volume adjustments. Conversations feel as natural as face-to-face meetings.
• Design Compatibility: The system's clean design aesthetic with the new office is highly .

Solasto is satisfied with Shure's audio solutions and anticipates further product developments to support diverse meeting formats. They also look forward to new proposals from Sun Telephone to innovate their business and operations.
