Enjoy clear, understandable conversation in all conferencing applications.
The Vortex EF2280 improves audio quality for conferencing, distance learning, and other installed applications through industry-leading acoustic echo and noise cancellation - with support for up to 8 microphones. The Vortex EF2280 automatically mixes microphones and other audio sources while cancelling acoustic echoes and annoying background noise. It is typically installed at each site in a multi-site network and is commonly used in applications such as boardrooms, courtrooms, distance learning, sound reinforcement, and room combining. It connects easily to other equipment such as codecs, VCRs, or other A/V products. The unit can be programmed from the front panel, or through Conference Composer software (included). Conference Composer's InstantDesigner wizard ensures fast, accurate setup for a variety of applications. A single Vortex EF2280 unit provides automatic mixing of up to eight microphones plus four auxiliary audio sources. If more microphones are needed, additional Vortex EF2280 or Vortex EF2241 units can be linked, up to a total of eight units. Number of Open Microphones (NOM) information can be specified across all channels in the linked units. The microphone channels feature industry-leading acoustic echo cancellation to prevent retransmission of signals to their original locations. A neural network Automatic Gain Control (AGC) reacts only to valid speech patterns, bringing voices within desired levels. AGC controls are user adjustable, as are settings for the five-band parametric EQ offered on all input and output channels and output delay controls.
