Jabra has announced an automatic, over-the-air update to its speakerphone Speak2 75.
The upgrade enables two Speak2 75 devices to link for enhanced audio coverage, suitable for large and medium size meeting rooms. The devices can be used with platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other UC-certified applications, and provide both mono and stereo modes.
This update, driven by user feedback on Bluetooth connectivity, provides a permanent linking capability that expands the range and functionality of the Speak2 75, meeting both the evolving needs of end users and facility managers.
Linked Speak2 75 devices provide audio coverage for professional collaboration in various sized meeting rooms.
With this new update, IT and facility managers will have more flexibility to design rooms with better audio coverage, meaning that whether users are in the meeting room or remote, everyone can hear and be heard clearly.
With the permanent linking feature, the Speak2 75s will also remain connected, even when turned off and on again. In meeting rooms, where consistent connectivity is crucial, this feature provides a more reliable, plug-and-play user experience.
During calls, the linked Speak2 75 devices transmit a dual mono signal, ensuring that both speakers deliver the same clear, precise audio.
The two speakers also switch to a stereo signal, offering a richer and more immersive audio experience. The devices intelligently and automatically switch between dual mono and stereo modes based on the usage scenario, providing good audio quality for every situation.
Holger Reisinger, SVP for video and collaboration solutions at Jabra, said, “With the new linking feature, the Speak2 75 transforms how users experience sound, offering flexible placement options that adapt to any environment. This enhancement makes the Speak2 75 an ideal choice for both professional and personal use, fitting seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
“This update reflects our commitment to innovation that genuinely enhances usability and quality. By expanding the Speak2 75’s capabilities, we are setting a new standard for immersive, adaptable audio solutions.”
This update is available on all Speak2 75 devices via a firmware update in Jabra+, Direct, Xpress and Sound+.
