Audio-solutions provider Jabra launched the Speak2, a new line of professional speakerphones designed for hybrid work featuring advanced full duplex audio. The Lowell, Mass.-based company’s new products are the Speak2 75, Speak2 55 and Speak2 40. This, Jabra says are intelligent speakerphones that can handle conference meetings, direct calls, streaming media, presentations and more.
According to the company, the Speak2 speakerphones go beyond standard speakerphone performance by providing full duplex audio. This allows users who are talking simultaneously to conduct more natural two-way dialogues that make it seem like each speaker was there in person without disrupting conversation flow.
Main Features
Jabra says each speakerphone in the Speak2 lineup features voice-level normalization technology. It also has beamforming microphones that eliminate background noise for superb voice pickup.
Additionally, the Speak2 75 features a custom-designed microphone quality indicator via a 360-degree light ring. This shows users how well their voice is being picked up by the microphones. It thus reassures users of their clear audio. The speakerphone also includes an advanced full-range 65mm speaker. This then provides a more powerful audio experience, and more efficient and productive meetings, the company says.
