Compact Reference Implementation for Spatial Audio Acquisition

vicPURE microphone arrays.

The vicPURE microphone arrays are our reference implementations of compact microphones with directional audio recording.
They contain the latest algorithms of our vicPURE framework for spatial noise cancellation and speech enhancement. Four high-quality MEMS microphones and an audio DSP are integrated on a single circuit board.
Installed flat and unobtrusively behind a front panel, the intelligent signal processing achieves a predefined directional effect. This allows the source signals to be optimised and side noise to be suppressed.
The cleaned audio signal is output in analogue form or via a USB interface.

Product Features

  • 4-Channel microphone array with directivity
  • USB audio streaming of the cleaned signal
  • Analog output of the cleaned signal
  • USB power supply, alternatively JST-ZH connector
  • Visually unobtrusive installation behind surfaces
  • High voice signal quality with low audio latency
  • Driverless plug-and-play installation under Linux and Windows

Our vicPURE mic array is available with different software versions.

Versions

F2

The vicPURE mic array F2 is designed to replace a gooseneck microphone and is optimised for audio pickup directly perpendicular to the board plane, comparable to cardioid microphones.
Noise outside the recording area is suppressed as far as possible.

F3

The vicPURE mic array F3 is not just a replacement for a conventional gooseneck microphone but a further development, as it is based on a vertical disk-shaped audio acquisition directly perpendicular to the board plane.
This allows for a particularly large yet well defined audio acquisition area!
