Hello Steve and welcome to the Cow Audio forum.
Will this be live or are you doing post for it so it can be streamed?
I have been using iZotope RX3 to “take the stink off” phone audio for about six months now for a pre-produced program. It can reduce clipping artifacts and the de-reverb feature pulls out early reflections you didn’t even think about until you hear what it does.
It won’t make bad things sound wonderful, but it will make them less worse. 🙂 I also use EQ and a compressor when needed to sculpt the sound into shape.
If it’s real time live, then you’re looking at getting really good at fast EQing and maybe a single ended noise reduction box with some knobs.
When balancing studio audio with bad audio for a webinar, I have learned that you can’t always go by the meters. Also, unfortunately, the worse sounding the audio is, the higher I have to run it so that miracle device known as “the brain” can make sense of it.
