Product Description

Most array microphones have a fixed "listen" direction, severely limiting a speaker's range of motion. But the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker Array Microphone automatically locates and electronically steers toward you when you talk, leaving you free to move

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent utility, but average quality sound., November 12, 2008

This mic does a great job of what it does, filtering out unwanted noise. I sit in a room with four computers and a TV, and this thing zeroes in on my voice perfectly, disgarding the sound of the computer fans and even ignores the sound from the TV. One of the first things my friend noticed when I was using Skype with this was the background hiss from my old microphone was gone. He often asked me "Are you still there?" because he couldn't tell if my mic was working or not.

That said, the quality of the microphones used are still not superb. The sound quality is much better than most mics due to the noise filtering capabilities, especially against other on-the-desk type mics, but an array of cheap microphones is still just a bunch of cheap microphones. It is obvious when you hear your voice in sound recorder. Don't go buying this expecting something that sounds like studio quality. It's utility comes from it's power to single in on a speaker in noisy environments.

It's a good tool for:
1) Environments where a headset mic is impractical, or perhaps found uncomfortable.
2) Where multiple speakers, speaking one at a time, are common, such as conferences.
3) Many kinds of voice recognition situations. The microphone produces a good consistant quality which is good for such an application.

We are using the Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker in recording audio during our Chat & Chow sessions on campus using the Tegrity A/V capture software. This captures our audio not only from our session speakers but it also tracks and picks up audio from guest questions and discussions. This is a great microphone for speakers that move around and questions that come from various audience members around the room.

This product blows my mind. It's literally the best thing for a home automation microphone, as you can be pretty much anywhere in the room for it to work.
