Enhanced Microphone Features

Voice recording

Directional Array

Receives only the sound coming from the reception cone and eliminates interferences including neighboring speakers and reverberations. You can enable it to transit clearer sound during on-line games, MSN, or Skype.

Speaker Phone

Advanced de-reverberation techniques can help to reduce echo and minimize its effect on the speech engine. You can enable it when you have conference call to reduce echoes in the other side.

If you are using Windows Vista, you have to manually enable the directional Array and Speaker Phone function. Go to Control panel > Sound. Click the Recording tab on the top and select Microphone. Click the Microphone Enhancement tab and check Array Mic.
