Unlike 1st generation array microphones which have a fixed "listen" direction, the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker Array Microphone automatically locates and electronically steers toward the talker. This provides unprecedented freedom of movement when using it with iListen. It is no longer necessary to sit rigidly in front of the microphone. You are free to lean backwards, sideways, or even move around.

Headset like Performance
The Voice Tracker 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 TrackerTM contains the largest number of array elements available today, which, when combined with its two stage noise reduction algorithms, give it the longest effective range of any array microphone.

Easy to use
Acoustic Magic's patented steering technology employs digital electronics and proprietary embedded algorithms. There are no moving parts, so the Voice Tracker™ is rugged, reliable, and easy to use. Simply plug it into the provided USB adapter, which is then plugged into your computer, and a wall outlet. The Voice TrackerTM is also the only microphone to employ Location Dependent Squelch (LDSTM, 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.

Features

• Automatic electronic steering of "listening beam" to talker location
• Selectable steering limits (60 degrees and 180 degrees) for speech recognition and teleconferencing modes
• Selectable LDSTM to reduce annoying interference of additional talkers during speech recognition or feedback during teleconferencing
• Two stage noise reduction (spatial filtering and noise reduction processing)
• 8 element, 18 inch long array for maximum range
• 5 element "in range" light to indicate location of chosen talker and sufficiency of signal
• Microphone tilt capability to facilitate desktop or monitor top mounting
• Weight: 2 pounds
• Power: converter from 120V AC to 6V DC included
