Sudbury, MA (PRWEB) August 3, 2006 –- AliceStreet Inc, a world leader in low bandwith video conferencing solutions, recently completed highly successful video (VVoIP) conferencing system installations featuring Acoustic Magic’s Voice Tracker array microphones at Alumar in Brasil and Transnet in South Africa.

According to Tim Perley-Robertson, Vice President of global sales for AliceStreet, “the Voice Tracker™ array microphone is the only value oriented solution that provides excellent audio for multiple participants in one location connecting to the AliceStreet Conference Center. The Acoustic Magic products add significant value to our application.”

Janaina Silva, IT and Systems Manager on the Alumar Refinery Expansion Project (of which Alcoa is a major partner), indicates that: “Voice and Video peripherals contribute more than 50% to a successful continuous presence web-meeting.”

Bob Feingold, CEO of Acoustic Magic, is excited about working with AliceStreet, since their conferencing concept puts human communications first, while also supporting slides and other web conferencing facilities. “The Voice Tracker’s™ excellent sound quality, and background noise reduction, fits well with Alice Street’s focus on the user experience as well as affordability."

The Voice Tracker’s 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. This noise reduction, coupled with increased sensitivity since the Voice Tracker's eight microphone elements are utilized continuously and constructively, give the Voice Tracker™ outstanding range and sound quality.”
