European Parliamentary Broadcast System

Designed to meet the unique demands of parliamentary chambers and large meeting rooms, the European offers a fully integrated solution that ensures clear, intelligible audio even in the most acoustically challenging environments.

The European builds on Glensound’s extensive experience in providing reliable audio solutions to national parliaments since 1995. It supports all network connections via Dante, with a central DSP core for advanced functions and control. The system allows for multiple I/O interfaces, including mic and speaker connections, card readers for MP identification, and integration of voting panels. Hardware control panels, tailored to each environment, are a key feature of the European, offering precise audio management, voting capabilities, and seamless compatibility with bespoke furniture designs.

The system’s integration goes beyond just audio. The European addresses the common challenges of historic buildings – large open spaces, with multiple microphone sources and speakers. Audio delay is measured from each single microphone to every single speaker. This delay then dynamically switches as any microphone is identified as the priority, maintaining a balanced sound throughout the chamber and eliminating unwanted delay that could colour the audio.

Glensound also incorporated a frequency shifter into the European that actively prevents feedback, further increasing the intelligibility of the system.
