Beyerdynamic Introduces SPACE MAX Speakerphone for Enhanced Online Conversation

June 16 2023, 00:45
Expanding its SPACE product series, the new beyerdynamic SPACE MAX speakerphone is basically a bigger and louder version of the original SPACE announced in 2022. Purpose-built for medium-to-large meeting spaces, SPACE is designed for those users looking for enhanced sound quality and don't want to deal with the hassle of separated microphones, speakers and audio interfaces. Featuring the same minimalist aesthetic design of the smaller version, this USB-C design is ready for work, anywhere that is.
 

The full-duplex audio quality of the new beyerdynamic SPACE MAX takes digital meetings to an even higher level. Whether in a large conference room, huddle room, or personal office, the new SPACE MAX is a perfect hands-free, premium plug-and-play audio solution that meets the needs of modern work. 

Benefiting from beyerdynamic's experience in this field, the new SPACE MAX speakerphone is a new workhorse with proven premium audio, high-quality technology, and modern design. It's a reliable companion for today's office workers with its innovative microphone technology and high-quality two-way speaker system that delivers detailed sound, powerful bass, and clear highs when playing speech, media, and music.

"Hybrid work needs hybrid tools," says Ron Hautzinger, beyerdynamic SPACE MAX's product manager. "SPACE MAX emphasizes our goal to provide high-quality audio solutions to professionals. The speakerphone is officially certified for Zoom and compatible with Microsoft Teams, allowing users to start phone calls and virtual or hybrid meetings quickly and easily. At the same time, it has our classic beyerdynamic audio quality, making it the perfect speaker for music and media listening in-between meetings."

Leveraging decades of microphone expertise and the company's proprietary 360° Smart Mic Technology, the new beyerdynamic SPACE MAX guarantees maximum speech intelligibility and freedom of movement during phone calls or meetings with up to six participants. For larger conferences, two beyerdynamic SPACE MAX devices can be connected using the Conference Cascade mode, accommodating up to twelve participants.
 

The 360° Smart Mic Technology automatically detects voice or noise signals and effectively suppresses unwanted reverberation, echo, or feedback, setting new standards for echo cancellation. The system intelligently adjusts voice volume to ensure harmonious conversations, while the full-duplex capability allows participants to speak and be heard simultaneously, maintaining a natural conversation flow.

Most importantly, the beyerdynamic SPACE MAX ensures compatibility when connecting to laptops, smartphones, or tablets via USB or Bluetooth with plug-and-play convenience. Android device pairing is expedited with Google Fast Pair, and the included USB cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter caters to various connection types. For extended compatibility, an optional USB WL adapter is available to enhance compatibility between the speakerphone and communication apps.
 

The SPACE MAX design - expanding on the well-received smaller model SPACE - stands out with its captivating contrast of matte surfaces and high-quality antibacterial textiles. Its illuminated LED panel provides intuitive operation and access to essential functions during calls or media playback, being IP64 protected against dust and splashes. Crafted with exceptional manufacturing quality and premium materials, the speakerphone becomes a durable companion, with easily replaceable parts for cables, control components, and the battery, if needed. And, the integrated Kensington lock ensures theft protection, so users can leave the speakerphone in your office space with peace of mind. 

Additionally, the speakerphone offers software features adapted to office life, such as the Business Mode, which prevents unwanted connections with nearby Bluetooth devices. Thanks to continuous firmware updates, beyerdynamic ensures that the SPACE MAX is always up to date with the latest technology. 

The larger size of the SPACE MAX also allows for an impressive battery life of up to 25 hours on a single charge, providing extended usage throughout the workday. Thanks to USB Power Delivery fast-charging, the speakerphone offers quick deployment, and it can even serve as a powerbank to charge a smartphone or tablet when needed.

The beyerdynamic SPACE MAX is available now for a suggested retail price of $399 in Charcoal and Nordic Grey on the beyerdynamic online shop and Amazon, as well as
with selected retail partners. The Cascade Cable SPACE MAX is available as an optional accessory for $25.
