Yamaha has announced the YVC-200 portable USB+Bluetooth speakerphone – ‘the ultimate portable device for exceptional communication for on-the-go workers’.
The YVC-200 is integrated with Yamaha sound processing technologies, including adaptive echo cancellation, Human Voice Activity Detection that focuses the unit on speech rather than background noise. The unit features intelligent microphones that deliver full-duplex conversation without sound dropouts, even when multiple people are speaking at once.
To start a remote meeting, users connect the YVC-200 to an audio, video or web conferencing client. Equipped with USB and Bluetooth with fast pairing to NFC-enabled devices, the YVC-200 can connect to a PC, smartphone, or tablet. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to ten hours of operation.
It is operating system agnostic and fully compatible with commonly used OSs and remote conferencing systems, such as Microsoft Skype for Business, Cisco WebEx, BlueJeans, Zoom and Vidyo. In addition, frequently used functions, such as microphone mute and speaker volume, are controlled by interactive touch-sensor buttons for easy and intuitive operation. Users can start a meeting anytime, anywhere, including ad-hoc meetings in the office or customer’s office, without missing cues for making immediate decisions or relaying inspiring ideas.
Available in white or black, the unit blends into home or corporate offices. Its small, lightweight, and space-saving design offers portability and deployment at laptop or mobile terminals. A headset jack allows for private listening and the option to listen to music through the unit between calls.
‘The reality of today’s global workplace is that people are meeting and collaborating outside of dedicated conferencing spaces, which can create a challenging and increasingly frustrating meeting environment,’ says Phil Marechal, President of Business Development and Product Management at Yamaha Unified Communications. ‘For more than ten years, Yamaha has been the trusted solutions provider for delivering a natural and reliable conversation experience for remote communication. The YVC-200 expands our UC portfolio with a personal, portable conferencing device designed to offer intuitive operation and deliver high-quality, comfortable audio no matter where the user is working, be it the home, satellite office, or hotel room. It can be deployed anywhere. Just simply connect it to a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and hold a productive casual meeting, discuss ideas, and feel as if you’re talking with colleagues in person.’
