NTT Sonority has begun general sales of ”LinkShell” (photo), a beam microphone speaker equipped with NTT’s patented technology ”Intelligent Microphone” that allows only your voice to be transmitted to the other person. To commemorate the general release, Yodobashi Camera will be holding a giveaway campaign.
LinkShell was developed to meet the needs of ”protecting privacy and information,” ”not wanting to make the other party feel uncomfortable,” and ”delivering only clear audio.”
The “intelligent microphone” eliminates surrounding noise and delivers only the necessary voice. There is no need to wear earphones or a microphone.
NTT’s patented technology, “Intelligent Microphone,” recognizes the acoustic space by utilizing the time difference between the times when sound reaches two microphones. Hybrid processing of beamforming and spectral filters clearly extracts only the “necessary voices.”
