At Owl Labs, we strive to make hybrid meetings more inclusive and collaborative - for remote and in-person attendees alike. Our next-gen Meeting Owl 3, does just that by creating an immersive hybrid meeting experience in any space with its intelligent 360-degree camera, mic, and speaker. But for larger rooms and bigger tables, how can you ensure that every voice is heard? Meet the all-new Expansion Mic, the latest accessory from Owl Labs.
All Owl Labs video conferencing cameras have an 18-foot audio and 10-foot video pickup radius, meaning that everyone in everyday meetings can be easily heard and can contribute equally. After all — adaptive tech supports equity in the workplace. It also means that remote meeting attendees get a better experience, not needing to turn up the volume when someone’s speaking too far from the laptop or presentation screen.
“We’ve all experienced the frustration of not clearly hearing or seeing speakers during hybrid meetings. The goal of our products is to eliminate that experience,” says Gloria Lau, SVP of Engineering at Owl Labs.
The Expansion Mic provides smart coverage for every meeting space
But for big conference rooms and longer tables, the 18-foot audio radius of a single Meeting Owl might not be enough.
That’s why Owl Labs is introducing the Expansion Mic, which connects with the Meeting Owl 3, to extend the Meeting Owl’s audio radius and additional 8 feet (to 26 feet total!), transmitting crystal clear audio from every attendee, even in larger rooms. This accessory helps to improve the experience for in-person attendees, meeting organizers, and remote participants.
Expansion Mic features include:
- An ultra-sensitive mic that allows the Meeting Owl 3 to recognize quieter voices or those who are farther away
- Extends the Meeting Owl 3’s audio pickup range by 8 feet (2.5 meters) in the direction of the mic
- Expands the Meeting Owl 3’s total pickup range to 26 feet (8.5 meters)
- Adds accessibility to the mute/unmute button and gives more people in the meeting control
- Adhesive strips or screws ensure your Expansion Mic stays put, and a sleek design adds to an optimal work environment
And since meeting rooms are rarely perfectly soundproofed, Meeting Owl video conferencing cameras and their Expansion Mics are equipped with audio capabilities that go above and beyond industry standard: Third-party analysts found that the Meeting Owl suppresses white and brown noises up to 9dB within 4-5 seconds, without sacrificing voice quality.
In large meetings, it can be hard to hear and harder to participate, but the all-new Expansion Mic makes remote collaboration totally immersive, even from far away. Your remote teams will feel more included and they’ll be more empowered to speak up knowing for sure that they’ll be heard on the other side.
Pick up audio from every corner of the room and improve hybrid collaboration with Owl Labs’ comprehensive room solutions.
