The Original sound for musicians and Live performance audio profiles allow for greater preservation of audio received from your microphone without using Zoom's echo cancellation and audio filters. These are ideal if your microphone or sound equipment has these features built-in or if you are wanting to preserve the full range of sound from a musical instrument.
When enabling original sound feature in the Zoom desktop client, you will also have greater control over:
High fidelity music mode to optimize Zoom audio for the highest quality.
Zoom's echo cancellation algorithms, which are enabled by default.
Stereo audio for a better listening experience, which is disabled by default.
Enabling the Live performance audio profile reduces audio latency even further, but requires better audio equipment and network connection.
Audio input device that supports 48kHz sample rate
CPU with 4 or more physical cores Note: Live performance audio also has higher network requirements for best performance, so ethernet connections are recommended.
Limitations of live performance audio mode
Live performance audio mode is only supported for Zoom Meetings.
Zoom Webinars are not yet supported.
Up to 5 users can have live performance audio mode enabled in the same meeting.
Due to network bandwidth considerations, live performance audio mode is not supported in meetings with more than 50 participants.
