Meetings
Table microphones and connected microphone networks can help when speakers are distributed around a room.
Workplaces & employment
Make work easier to hear and easier to join.
Meetings, calls, training and conversations can become exhausting when noise and distance compete with speech. We help identify practical remote microphone solutions and support eligible Work and Access applications with clear product information and quotations.
Ireland’s Work and Access programme
Funding may be available for eligible workplace supports.
Work and Access is administered by Ireland’s Department of Social Protection. It includes supports intended to remove or reduce disability-related barriers to employment. Depending on the circumstances and current programme rules, specialised equipment or a workplace needs assessment may be relevant.
Classroom Audio Technology can help clarify the listening situations, demonstrate appropriate audio equipment, check compatibility and provide a written specification or quotation. The Department of Social Protection decides eligibility, funding and approval.
Check current official eligibility and formsDescribe the barrier
Identify the work situations where communication is most difficult: meetings, calls, distance, training or mixed environments.
Identify suitable equipment
Review personal hearing technology, room use, online platforms and the number and movement of speakers.
Prepare practical information
Provide a demonstration, compatibility details, specification and quote where appropriate.
Apply through the official process
The relevant employee, employer or self-employed person submits the required application and awaits approval before purchase.
Common work situations
Choose around the work, not around a product name.
One portable microphone may suit changing conversations. A table network may suit recurring multi-speaker meetings. The right answer depends on the role.
Calls & hybrid work
Solutions can connect speech from computers and phones while also supporting people speaking in the room.
Mobile roles
Portable remote microphones can support one-to-one conversation, presentations and changing day-to-day settings.
What we can provide
Useful evidence, proper setup and support after approval.
Listening-needs discussion
A practical review of the role, work environments and communication barriers.
Equipment demonstration
An opportunity to understand how the proposed system behaves in relevant situations.
Specification and quotation
Clear product and compatibility information for the applicable official process.
Installation and user support
Configuration, connection guidance, handover and continuing technical support.
Important programme note
Work and Access rules, application responsibilities and funding levels can change. Approval is not guaranteed, and equipment should not be purchased in expectation of reimbursement unless the Department of Social Protection has confirmed the applicable process and approval. Always use the current official guidance linked above.
A clear next step
A short conversation can turn a vague workplace problem into a clear equipment brief.
