USPTO recognizes the company’s unique approach to simultaneous in-room voice
amplification and full-room microphone pickup for remote participants
Nureva Inc., an innovator in advanced audio solutions, announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued an additional patent for the company’s Microphone Mist ™ technology, the groundbreaking platform behind every Nureva ® audio system. Further demonstrating the company’s leadership in simplifying large-room audio, this patent acknowledges Nureva’s unique approach to amplifying the voice of a presenter while simultaneously providing full-room microphone pickup in both meeting and learning spaces.
The result of this approach is greater in-room intelligibility of a presenter’s voice while everyone in the room is still heard clearly by remote participants. Full-room pickup also ensures that all aspects of a meeting or learning session are accurately captured for recording purposes or use with AI agents.
US patent 12,342,137 discloses the ability to simultaneously use a discrete microphone for voice amplification and a microphone array for whole-room pickup within the same conferencing session. With this unique hybrid capability enabled by Microphone Mist technology, an instructor or a presenter using a wireless microphone can have their voice amplified through the Nureva audio system’s speakers for those in the room while, at the same time, their voice is sent to remote participants via common UC&C platforms such as Microsoft ® Teams and Zoom. In-room voices continue to be captured by the array, so everyone is heard remotely. Key to this, echo cancellation remains active for both the remote participants’ speech and the presenter’s amplified speech from the in-room speakers, preserving the simplicity of full-room array pickup for conferencing, lecture capture and meeting recording, while boosting presenter clarity in the space.
“Customers have asked for a simple way to amplify the voice of a presenter in the room while simultaneously letting remote participants hear the comments and questions from everyone involved in the discussion,” said Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s CEO. “This patent recognizes the uniqueness of our approach and the performance Microphone Mist technology delivers.”
