Hear and Be Heard. Adobe Connect, GoToMeeting, Google Hangouts, Skype and similar VoIP services offer up plenty of features and convenience for remote meetings. But one aspect of the experience often comes up short: sound quality from your device"s built-in speaker and microphone. Often, built-in speakers are not loud enough even at maximum volume, and this is particularly true when it comes to laptops and tablets designed for personal use. Additionally, built-in microphones record too much environmental noise, and they only capture the closest person"s voice clearly. This leads to a feeling of needing to yell or crowd around the microphone, rather than sitting comfortably. Finally, echo noise can disrupt exchanges when the person on the other end of the teleconference hears their own voice. All of these problems interrupt, slow, and add frustration to remote meetings. But these issues can be overcome with the IPEVO VX-1 Internet Conference Station, the perfect complement to your VoIP usage. With VX-1"s superior voice capture and transmission, everyone can hear, and everyone can be heard. A Superior Audio Experience, Top to Bottom. VX-1 utilizes outstanding noise reduction and echo cancellation technology, thanks to a special 16-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with built-in hardware acceleration. This DSP features 16 kHz sampling rate signal processing for exceptional echo cancellation and adaptive noise suppression. The result is crystal-clear voice transmission on both ends of the conversation.
