Focusing on desired sounds, minimizing background noise and knowing when to mute, the Tiki Microphone records amazing Audio every time.
Tiki's two modes give any Skype™ user, podcaster or musician the versatility to quickly choose the best option in any situation.
First, Intelligent Speech Mode brings your voice to the forefront of a conference call or chat while noise-canceling technology simultaneously minimizes unwanted, competing background noise.
Secondly, Natural Recording Mode captures a wide range of sources from vocals to acoustic guitar, recording high-fidelity audio with exceptional clarity. Tiki sets a new standard for crystal clear audio for wherever you go.
What makes Tiki very special is it's advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology. It's so advanced we can only refer to it as voodoo.
Tiki significantly reduces unwanted background noise like keyboard clicking, hard-drive and fan sounds, and ambient room noise, allowing the person on the other side of the conversation to hear you with exceptional clarity.
On a conference call or chat, Tiki even automatically mutes itself whenever a voice isn't detected, freeing you to do other tasks (like type!) without adding background noise to the conversation. Like we said; voodoo.
But Tiki is more than just a great listener — it's a great recording microphone. With a tap of the mode selector, Tiki becomes a high fidelity microphone suitable for recording your vocals, instruments, podcasts, or narration.
Tiki's double-sided design allows it to be plugged into a typical laptop or PC's USB port. Make sure that one side or the other of Tiki is facing you during recording. Tiki's advanced technology will determine whether you are using the front or rear or both sides of the microphone.
If you are unable to connect directly to a suitable USB port, you can use the docking cable (included) to put Tiki in a better location. Like any mic, the closer you are to Tiki, the better your results.
With two Capsule Mics and one very powerful DSP chip which constantly listens and compares the signal from the two opposite-facing cardioid capsules. The DSP decides which signals to pass through and compares the signals to help remove background noise. In addition, it applies noise-reduction algorithms co-developed with iZotope and then applies intelligent muting, which soft mutes whenever you aren't speaking.
iZotope engineering is the leader in audio processing technologies; they've developed many of the most popular audio processing algorithms as used in professional studio software, live / broadcast, video games and played an integral role in developing the noise-reduction modes used in Tiki's intelligent listening mode.
With the push of a button, Tiki's natural recording mode behaves like a traditional microphone, and applies only minor processing to add presence and proximity to the signal from the mic; everything is done in real time, in hardware. So, all processing is done completely inside the Tiki hardware and requires no drivers or system resources to operate. Just plug it in and go anywhere you are!
The Tiki Mic is inherently well-suited for picking up what is in front and behind it, not all around. This makes Tiki best for one-on-one or two-on-one conversations like Podcasts, Video Chat and Multiplayer Gaming.
