Enclosed in a sleek charcoal gray casing, the Voice Tracker tm fits unobtrusively under a computer monitor, or on a shelf or table. Its unique technology locates a talker, and electronically steers a listening beam", like an acoustic searchlight, in that direction. This creates spatial filtering; sounds from other parts of the room are not picked up. In addition, digital noise reduction algorithms remove constant background noise. This two-stage noise reduction, coupled with increased sensitivity since the Voice Trackers eight microphone elements are used continuously and constructively, give the Voice Tracker tm outstanding range and sound quality
