Standard meeting rooms are sized for 8–12 participants and optimised for in-room discussion — their camera positioning, microphone systems, and acoustic environments are typically designed for fully in-person use. Video conference pods (like HIGHKA Model S, M, and L) are sized for 1–4 participants, with acoustic specifications (DS,A = 29.4 dB, SGS/ISO 23351-1), lighting (CRI 90, 3,000K–6,500K), and physical proportions specifically appropriate for hybrid call use. For single participants or small in-office groups joining a hybrid call, an acoustic pod is more appropriate — and produces consistently better call audio and on-camera quality — than a large standard meeting room.
