Yamaha Unified Communications has launched the YVC-330 virtual meeting solution, the latest addition to the company’s portable speakerphone family. The YVC-330 features Yamaha’s new SoundCap technology, engineered to overcome background noise prevalent in open workspaces.
‘Ask anyone who has tried to meet in an open environment, and they’ll tell you how difficult it is to be heard over the din in the room – from people talking to phones ringing and printers whirring – which isn’t conducive for clear, productive meetings and can be incredibly frustrating for all participants,’ says Yamaha Unified Communications VP of Global Sales & Marketing, Michael Fitch. ‘For those reasons, a good meeting experience has meant hunting down and reserving a quiet, unoccupied space, which may not be feasible for spontaneous meetings. The YVC-330’s SoundCap technology was designed to make any open space – even a cafe – a truly multipurpose powerhouse, regardless of the less-than-ideal noise that may be present.’
Using Far Field Noise Reduction (FFNR), Yamaha’s SoundCap technology targets only the voices of speakers sitting around the meeting table, effectively removing other noise. To further enable a clear conference call, the YVC-330 features an automatic mute function that engages when participants are not speaking. This self-silencing feature enhances the performance of Yamaha’s Human Voice Activity Detection technology, which instantly distinguishes human voices from other sounds. In addition, the SoundCap technology offers an auto-speaker volume adjustment, which regulates the volume to ambient noise levels and is suited for maintaining speech privacy. With the self-volume balancer function, remote conferences can be conducted seamlessly without being intrusive to those in the vicinity.
The YVC-330 also features USB, Bluetooth and NFC connections, and is powered through its USB cable (PoE).
