Title: Best Mic for whole-room (Scientific article)
Post by: 01ste02 on October 24, 2017, 08:59:45 AM

Hi all,

I was browsing for a new whole-home mic setup and came across this (https://medium.com/snips-ai/benchmarking-microphone-arrays-respeaker-conexant-microsemi-acuedge-matrix-creator-minidsp-950de8876fda (https://medium.com/snips-ai/benchmarking-microphone-arrays-respeaker-conexant-microsemi-acuedge-matrix-creator-minidsp-950de8876fda)) article. It really helped me, and I thought that it might help someone else here...

In my eyes the PS3 Eye was the winner, especially regarding the low price-point (I will post a review once I get it).

Hope this helps you in our endless quest for total automation (or world-domination  :biglaugh)

Oskar

EDIT: The PS3 Eye costs about 7USD on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072I2240/?tag=stackoverfl08-20 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072I2240/?tag=stackoverfl08-20)...

Hi Oskar,


thanks for the article link really interesting.


James has tried the PS3eye with VC long time ago: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Microphones#PS3eye_Array_Microphone (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Microphones#PS3eye_Array_Microphone)


I think we will never found a good open mic solution. I would be happy we can build a mic solution like the StarTrek communicator.

Hi Kalle!

Perhaps I should try the respeaker one instead  ^-^.

For whole-house setups you could take a look at my other post from today: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2778.0 (http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2778.0) where I describe my new node-based setup...

Haha, yes the respeaker was the interesting part in the article, but it sounds to complicated for me and does not work out of the box - so far I understand.


Your EventGhost solution is a good idea and I hope you will find a good mic for.
