The Voice Tracker Array Microphone was the original implementation of our patented, automatically and electronically steering, “listening beam” technology. It has been in production since 2002, and has proven to be extremely rugged and reliable. The Voice Tracker I scanning beamforming array microphone has been proven to provide high quality audio coverage over a large area; and it does it at an affordable price. Captures questions from the class as well as the lecturer as he moves around the room. Captures all the talkers around a large conferencing table. All the intelligence is inside the microphone. Just connect it to the computer by 3.5mm mini-stereo or USB and select the Voice Tracker I as the default microphone. No set up of multiple beams or multiple microphones/mixers is required.

Unlike fixed beam array microphones, that have a limited “listen direction”, the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker I automatically locates 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. For Meeting Recording or Lecture Capture or Conferencing Applications, the Voice Tracker™ Array Microphones capture all the participants since the “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. Multiple fixed beam array microphones create a wider field of view than a single fixed beam mic, but the multiple beams need individually set up, which will need to be changed if the location of the
