Bidirectional Boundary Microphone FR-1200

Dramatically improve customer service with a high-performance stereo microphone!
Noise cancellation ensures clear communication!
It's ideal as a microphone for counter service conversation recording systems, enhancing measures against customer harassment.
*If you wish to record audio, additional equipment will be required.
The problem is that customers' voices cannot be picked up due to surrounding noise.
Previous microphones picked up ambient noise and made it difficult to tell who was speaking.
The FR-1200 utilizes the characteristics of a directional microphone to clearly capture only the voice of the person speaking.
This palm-sized microphone is also very convenient to carry around.
It is easy to set up and use.
There are many different stereo microphones out there, but which one should you choose?
Is it a record of an important business meeting, or a statement from a customer? I don't know.
We want to separate the audio of face-to-face conversations, which are difficult to hear due to loud noises and other noises, into what the customer is saying and what the person saying is saying, and eliminate the noise.
The FR-1200 can accurately isolate only the necessary audio and collect it in clear, noise-free sound.
Equipped with a noise reduction function developed by NTT Computer & Data Science Laboratories, this cutting-edge microphone will improve customer satisfaction during customer interactions.

Why choose the FR-1200 Bidirectional Boundary Microphone?
Achieve the same high-performance audio processing effect as using multiple microphones with just the FR-1200
The FR-1200 has high directivity, allowing it to pick up sound from two separate directions, cutting out surrounding noise and outputting clear stereo sound.
Beamforming technology utilizes the direction of sound arrival, frequency characteristics, and time fluctuation characteristics to suppress ambient noise and emphasize only the desired sound while preventing degradation.
The spectral filter analyzes and adjusts the characteristics of the sound, achieving the same effect as high-performance audio processing using multiple microphones.
The FR-1200 is a microphone developed by NTT-AT based on the intelligent microphone library developed by NTT Computer & Data Science Laboratories and currently provided by NTT Technocross Corporation.

High-quality noise cancellation
Even in noisy environments, the noise cancellation function allows you to clearly pick up conversations with customers.
For example, it is ideal for recording audio in noisy environments, such as counter work or conversations at a counter.
To achieve optimal sound collection and noise cancellation, you can choose from four sound collection directional modes (unidirectional mode, 90-degree mode, 180-degree mode, and 270-degree mode) depending on the situation.
Portable size and USB bus power
It's palm-sized and lightweight (approximately 60g), making it easy to carry. Powered by USB bus power, it can be used without worrying about external power sources.
It can be connected to a variety of devices using a USB cable (which also serves as power supply) or a φ3.5 stereo mini plug.
It is also lightweight and compact, measuring just 14.5 mm high x 64.7 mm wide and weighing 61 g, making it highly portable.
