Sudbury, MA (PRWEB) January 7, 2005 -- Acoustic Magic, Inc. today announced a 50% improvement in the frequency response of its Voice Trackerâ„¢ array microphone.
Because of its high sensitivity, background noise suppression, and wide field of view, the Voice Trackerâ„¢ array microphone has proven to be very effective in picking up participants throughout a large conference room. Now that the Voice Trackerâ„¢ has a cutoff frequency of 11.25 kHz, talkers in recordings or in conferences will be more clearly understood.
The Voice Tracker™ locates a talker and electronically steers a “listening beam,†like an acoustic searchlight, in that direction. This creates spatial filtering; sounds from other parts of the room are not picked up. In addition, digital noise reduction processing removes background noise. This two-stage noise reduction, coupled with the sensitivity of eight microphone elements, gives the Voice Tracker™ outstanding range and sound quality.
“We believe that our Voice Trackerâ„¢ intelligent array microphone is useful for meeting recording and conferencing because it automatically scans a full 180 degree field of view and can even pick up speech from behind,†said Bob Feingold, CEO of Acoustic Magic. Because of its long-range (25 plus feet) the Voice Tracker â„¢ is sometimes mounted on the ceiling to remove tabletop clutter. “Rather than installing an expensive sound system with a microphone for each person, Voice Trackerâ„¢ is a simple and cost effective solution.â€
The Voice Tracker â„¢ array microphone, which was originally developed to facilitate automatic speech recognition by eliminating the need to wear a headset microphone, can be connected to PCs, conferencing hardware, or handheld digital recorders.
