Overview

The Next Generation in Speech Recognition, Digital Recording & Conferencing Microphone Technology.

Acoustic Magic is a privately held company building a family of superior "far talking" array microphones. Our microphones can be used for many different purposes and with several different types of software applications.Choose from the list below to learn more about our products and how they can help make your life a little easier.

• Voice Tracker™ array microphones incorporate 5 important technology innovations:
• Automatic and electronic scanning “listening beam” with a field of view of 360°
• Spatial filtering for noise reduction
• Constructive addition of multiple microphone elements for long-range
• Rapidly converging AEC algorithm (Voice Tracker II only)
• Embedded algorithms for ease of use

The combination of these innovations allows the Voice Tracker to have extremely long pick up range. The ability to “hear” talkers throughout an entire room results in a strong economic advantage over the alternative of using several conventional microphones, coupled together through a mixer.

Scanning “Listening Beam”

Unlike conventional microphones, or first generation array microphones, which have a fixed "listen" direction, Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker™ Array Microphones automatically locate the active talker and electronically steers a “listening beam” in that direction. It can direct its “listening beam” over a 360 degree range, creating a wide field of view.

The Voice Tracker Array Microphones automatically locate and electronically steer a listening beam toward the talker. It's patented array microphone technology, based on more than 20 years of work at Brown University, improves sound fidelity and signal to noise performance. This enables:

• Speech recognition for command and control of computers and PDAs in noisy environments.
• Speech recognition for dictation of documents without a headset (close-talking) microphone.
• Teleconferencing with the microphone located at one end of the office or conference room (on the monitor or on the ceiling).
• Hands free digital recording in large rooms through PCs or handheld recorders.
