Abstract:
Integrated light and microphone systems are provided that include a microphone with directionality and a lighting device that emits a light beam. The light beam may be emitted in a direction substantially the same as the directionality of the microphone. The lighting device and the microphone can share a common interference tube to assist in aligning the directionalities of the microphone and the lighting device. The systems may be adjusted to enable visual calibration of the microphone to optimally detect sound from an audio source. The audio source can be simultaneously illuminated. The systems may be unobtrusive and more easily used to meet the aesthetic needs of an environment. Multiple integrated light and microphone systems can be in communication with an audio mixer to optimally detect sounds from multiple audio sources and create a desired audio mix that emphasizes a target audio source and suppresses other audio sources.
