Hybrid work has shifted the way we meet and communnicate, with 80% of all meetings now being either fully remote or hybrid, according to the company's own research. The new Jabra Speak2 range is built to handle anything, from conference meetings and direct calls, to streaming media, presentations and more.
Jabra has been a longstanding leader in the growing speakerphone market, and has sold more than 9 million speakerphones worldwide. Now, the Speak2 range offers mobile and future-proof professional quality sound so all voices can be heard, wherever they may come from. For all meeting participants to not only feel heard, but also listened to, the Speak2 range is engineered for full duplex audio without the challenges of echoes, feedback, or doubletalk. These speakerphones allow users who are talking simultaneously to conduct much more natural two-way dialogue, as though each speaker was there in person.
According to Jabra's "Hybrid Ways of Working Global Report 2022," most users complain they can’t hear what is being said in meetings. With the Speak2 75, Speak2 55, and Speak2 40, Jabra focused on solving those challenges with the latest technology, including Voice Level Normalization technology and using four state-of-the-art beamforming microphones that eliminate background noise. The noise reduction technology use updated algorithms, and the whole range is designed to work with all leading virtual meeting platforms, like Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Meet and Zoom.
The new Speak2 speakerphones are professional IP64-rated designs, packaged in a stylish, contemporary style with premium materials. When in call mode, the subtle user interface ring lights up and brings use functions with relevant icons to life. The most advanced professional speakerphone in the new range is the Jabra Speak2 75, featuring a custom-designed Microphone Quality Indicator. The 360-degree light ring shows users how well their voice is being picked up by the microphones, alerting users for the need to get closer or speak louder.
In addition, this speakerphone includes an advanced full range 65mm (2.5") speaker, offering a more powerful audio experience and ultimately resulting in much more efficient and productive meetings. Other exclusive features in the Speak2 75 model include an easy connection with Microsoft Swift Pair and up to 32 hours of wireless battery life.
The Speak2 55 model offers up to 12 hours of wireless battery life and uses more than 50% sustainable materials (from mechanical parts). All the models in the Jabra Speak2 range use the USB cable for a direct line (built-in USB-A and USB-C cables), with the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55 models also supporting wireless modes. Finally, each Speak2 product is designed to work with all leading virtual meeting platforms, meaning users can participate confidently in calls and meetings from any location, without the worry of poor audio quality or connectivity issues.
"Sound clarity is fundamental when looking to ensure all employees feel included in hybrid meetings. Therefore, Jabra decided to take on the challenge of re-engineering the world-leading Jabra Speak series for better performance and optimized experiences. Engineered for the hybrid worker who wants to hear and be heard in the most productive way, the new Speak2 range demonstrates to those working flexibly between home and office, that their voice matters too. So, get ready to speak up," says Aurangzeb Khan, SVP for Collaboration Solutions at Jabra
