The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone
Unlike first generation array microphones which have a fixed "listen" direction, the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone automatically locates the active talker and electronically steers a “listening beam” in that direction. It can steer over a 360 degree field of view.
Works at Long Range
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone improves signal-to-noise ratios in two ways. First, its digital signal processor creates a listening beam (like a searchlight) that focuses on the talker and spatially filters noise from other directions. Second, its proprietary noise reduction algorithms filter out background noise and reverberations that are present in the acoustic environment.
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone contains eight “always on” array elements, which, when combined with its two stage noise reduction algorithms, give it an effective range of 30+ feet for meeting recording, and several feet for automatic speech recognition.
Wide field of View
For Meeting Recording or Lecture Capture applications the Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone captures all the participants since its “listening beam” moves from one talker to the next in milliseconds.
For speech recognition applications, it is no longer necessary to sit rigidly in front of the microphone. The user is free to lean backwards, sideways, or even move around.
Easy to Use
Our patented steering technology employs digital electronics and proprietary embedded algorithms. There are no moving parts, so the Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone is rugged, reliable, and easy to use. Simply plug it into your computer's sound card and a wall outlet. No software needs to be loaded, and there is no drain on your computer's processing capacity.
Suppresses Interfering Sounds
The Voice Tracker™ Array Microphone is also the only array microphone to employ Location Dependent Squelch (LDS™, Patent Pending) which de-sensitizes the microphone to sounds coming from pre-selected directions. Consequently, the array can reduce unwanted sounds coming from directions outside its field of view.This is helpful in reducing acoustic echo in Conferencing Applications
