32. For send audio systems in a room to work correctly therefore the room noise level would have to be below 40 45dBA SPL at the microphones at all times This gives us some measure by which we can begin to plan the microphone array within a space including selection based on pickup pattern sensitivity noise rejection and signal to noise in relation to the ambient noise floor or level within the space The good news is that a room designed and built as described in this section will provide an acoustic space where almost any properly configured and installed audio system can operate with very good results Perhaps the most difficult issue for any room designer or system planner is actual microphone placement within the space Given the fact that many people view conference table space as sacred to be used for papers laptops coffee cups and other end user items there often is a great deal of pressure to place the local microphones on the ceiling instead of on the table surface But this approach must be taken with great caution We have already seen the dramatic impact of changes in the distance between people their mouths and the microphone Ceiling systems generally place microphones farther away from the participants mouths not closer critical distance calculations may eliminate ceiling placement from consideration for this reason alone In addition the ceiling surface generally is one of the noisiest areas of the room Proximity
