Can anyone advise us on a microphone to use for Zoom calls? We haev a small conference room set up in one of our rooms at the office for Zoom calls with customers/clients/IHJP etc etc. Often they involve multiple people sitting around a table, so I have been trying to find a good USB-C microphone we can put on the table that will pick up 360 audio and work with zoom, but also other apps for eg Slack, Google Meets, Facetime etc etc. Needs to be Moc OS compatible

Any help would be great, we have tried and failed several times already!

Hej Alex,
have you tried Jabra ? - https://www.emea.jabra.com/business/speakerphones/jabra-speak-series/jabra-speak-510##7510-309

it is not perfect, but it works for us in similar setup that you mentioned.

[Alex]

Thanks, will take a look at that!

@Alex I second @prpx on the Jabra. It’s been working well for us in multiple MS Teams calls (4-8 people sitting around a ca. 4m² desk, Jabra in the Center)

I think we have the smallest model (410 or 510)

Place the Jabra on top of something that dampens the sound transmission of the table for best experience.
Maybe a scrap of UHF?

Thanks - do you know if it works on Mac OS? I cannot specifically see that on the site..

Should not be a problem. Found this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jabra/comments/ja9qag/jabra_speak_510_supported_on_macos/

I’d be more than surprised to see such a „basic“ audio device not being compatible across all platforms.
It’s just a mic and a speaker

yes, we're using it with mac's. with usb connectors on dongle, and wireless. both work decent. it's not perfect but far better than the alternatives

Is it okay to machine wash my deck coat lined with alpaca in cold water?

Yes…..

Thanks G. Love you man. I appreciate you answering all my questions all the time.

Poly (nee Polycom) is commonly found in corporate settings in the States and they're quite good @Alex You can go with a full telepresence setup or a simple speaker with or without mic satellites that have mute buttons on them.
This line sounds like what you're after perhaps.

Great, thanks for the tip @mclaincausey

Saw this on the Bay, and I have never seen it before.

Someone in the know fill me in?

Wow @jordanscollected that is a wild and kinda weird item…I dig it!

[Paul9221]

Looks a lot like the IH-528 but with some neat differences.  Japan only item, maybe?

[misfitlife]

@jordanscollected, I was digging through the extinct items section and I believe it’s the IH-534, blanket lined 21oz indigo selvage denim  shooting jacket. Looks cool as shit!

[sabergirl]

It does look like a 528 IH-528 - Blanket Lined Work Jacket

I think there was also a blanket lined hunting jacket. I can’t remember the number of that one.

Man, that's a badass jacket!  I love the layered pockets on the left side.

[jordanscollected]

You guys and gals are so awesome. Those layered pockets are what drew my eye too. I went through the 534 thread and see it didn’t sell well. It’s still Just as fun to see weird randoms pop up.
