Voice Amplification Mode with audience mute
Amplify a presenter or instructor’s voice in the room without compromising the listening experience of remote attendees.
With multiple patents from the US and EU patent and trademark offices, Microphone Mist technology is our secret to making mic pickup in larger rooms as easy as it is in smaller rooms. Its precise sound location data enhances camera tracking and automated camera switching. And with a track record of one innovation after another, it’s always getting better.
A virtual microphone is an individual pickup point created when two or more physical microphones work together to focus their sound pickup on a distinct location. Microphone Mist technology listens to each virtual mic simultaneously and zeroes in on the predominant sounds. The result? Natural sounding conversations, even when multiple people talk at the same time.
Microphone Mist technology continuously captures audio in every inch of the room, while beamforming systems can only capture it within active beams.
With thousands of virtual microphones filling your space, there’s always one nearby. People can speak and act naturally in meetings and classes and be confident they’ll be heard by those who are remote.
With our technology, you don’t need to recalibrate your systems manually. Your audio system is automatically and continuously adapting to changes in your room’s acoustic profile.
Microphone Mist technology listens to and processes all virtual microphones simultaneously. Conversations sound natural, even when more than one person is speaking at the same time.
HVAC and other unwanted sounds can seriously affect your audio. So, instead of trying to suppress these noises after the fact, we use adaptive learning algorithms to preemptively ignore them.
We apply gain separately to each sound in a space based on its position, creating a natural listening experience for remote participants.
Our patent-pending unified coverage map enables the physical mics from two microphone and speaker bars to be processed together instead of separately, creating a giant microphone array that spans the entire room. Each virtual mic is targeted with greater precision, resulting in clearer, more consistent audio.
Amplify a presenter or instructor’s voice in the room without compromising the listening experience of remote attendees.
Use precise sound location data with any brand of USB or HDMI camera so remote participants always see who’s speaking.
Ready for hybrid? Microphone Mist technology lets everyone be heard in meetings and classes — whether in the room or remote. And Nureva® audio automatically adapts if you reconfigure a space.

Nureva took an entirely new approach when it created Microphone Mist technology — starting from a “blank sheet of paper” with the goal of finally solving long-standing issues with traditional audio conferencing. Read the full story.
Nureva’s patented Microphone Mist technology fills a room with thousands of virtual microphones. Each virtual microphone is a point in a space where two or more physical microphones work together intelligently to focus on audio pickup. Microphone Mist technology listens to each virtual mic simultaneously and optimizes each one for natural conversations.
Each Nureva audio system uses Microphone Mist technology to fill rooms with thousands of virtual microphones, enabling full-room microphone pickup in larger spaces. The HDL410 system deploys 16,384 virtual mics in spaces up to 35' x 55' (10.7 x 16.8 m). The HDL310 system deploys 8,192 virtual mics in spaces up to 30' x 30' (9.1 x 9.1 m). The HDL300 system deploys 8,192 virtual mics in spaces up to 25' x 25' (7.6 x 7.6 m). The HDL200 system deploys 4,096 virtual mics in spaces up to 18' x 18' (5.5 x 5.5 m).
Our innovative technology has been granted multiple patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office. They recognize our unique approach to position-based gain control, echo reduction, sound targeting and more. Read about our patents.
By filling spaces with thousands of virtual microphones, our audio systems can provide accurate location data for where people are talking within the room. This sound location data is used to automatically switch between multiple cameras (any USB or HDMI camera works), allowing remote participants to easily follow conversations and see who’s speaking. We also have specific integrations with brands like AVer, Lumens and PTZOptics to enhance camera tracking and switching.
Our demos have amazed thousands of IT pros — including some very skeptical ones. But you’ll have to experience one for yourself — live, 15 minutes, customized — to get what the excitement is about.
You can get a demo in a space of almost any size. And wait until you hear how we handle glass walls, reflective surfaces and HVAC. Our technology takes them out of the equation.

With multiple patents, Microphone MistTM technology is truly a revolutionary advancement in audio conferencing. At its heart is the very real concept of virtual microphones. A virtual microphone is an individual audio pickup point created when two or more physical microphones work together to focus their pickup patterns on a specific location. Each virtual mic behaves similarly to an omnidirectional microphone being placed at that point in the room. The HDL200 system deploys up to 4,096 virtual microphones, the HDL300 and HDL310 up to 8,192, and the HDL410 up to 16,384.
Nureva® audio systems use position-based gain control to make specific optimizations to the microphone system and processing of all the sound sources in the room. These patented processes enable Nureva to optimize the talker’s gain while keeping ambient noise quieter and more constant. No matter where a person moves in the room, a virtual microphone is always nearby — and no detectable transition occurs as the talker moves between virtual mics as one might experience when moving between beams in a beamforming system.
Traditional microphone technologies — such as beamforming — subdivide the room into large zones (as many zones as there are microphones). If there are, for example, three zones in a beamforming array, you get low spatial resolution information. Although the coverage zones are large, traditional systems are not able to discriminate between the individual sound sources within a single zone. This means diminished ability to optimize individual sound sources in a zone for the appropriate gain setting, noise filtering and overall audio signal.
Microphone Mist technology fills a room with thousands of virtual microphones, subdividing the room into thousands of spatial bubbles for a higher spatial resolution of audio signals. This allows the system to isolate and zoom in on individual talkers, providing more audio information that in turn allows it to optimize both acoustic microphone pickup performance and post-processing of the audio signal.
Patented Microphone MistTM technology is the only way to get the great audio performance you need without the cost and complexity of traditional technologies. And with ongoing firmware updates, your audio systems will keep getting better and better.
Microphone Mist technology fills a room with thousands of virtual microphones so people’s voices are picked up everywhere. No matter where they sit, stand, move or face, there’s always a virtual microphone nearby. And unlike traditional conferencing approaches, Microphone Mist technology doesn’t require a complicated, high-cost, multicomponent setup to get true full-room coverage.
There’s no need to adjust your audio every time you adjust your space. Our systems automatically and continuously adapt to a room’s acoustic profile. This means you can change your room — add furniture or adjust orientation — without having to do a manual recalibration. You can even move a system to another spot in the room and it immediately works — no fine-tuning needed. Traditional conferencing technology may require you to adjust mics, tweak noise reduction and echo cancellation or even add components to keep rooms sounding right, draining IT time and resources.
Sometimes, the sign of a good meeting or class is when things get lively, with people’s speech naturally overlapping. Traditional technologies can’t always keep up with multiple in-room participants talking at once — leaving remote people behind. But because Microphone Mist technology processes all virtual microphones simultaneously, conversations sound natural even when people talk at the same time.
With our systems, it isn’t just about what you’re hearing — it’s about what you’re not hearing. We take a groundbreaking approach to the problem of persistent unwanted noises, like HVAC systems and projector fans. Instead of attempting to suppress them in post-processing, we use adaptive learning algorithms to preemptively ignore them. The result? You hear voices better and unwanted noises less.
Unlike approaches that apply gain to all sounds equally within a microphone pickup area, our technology modifies gain according to the position of each sound source in the room. This lets us make specific optimizations to both the microphones and the processing of each sound source. Remote participants have an easier listening experience without the distraction of uneven audio.
Automatic gain control keeps audio output levels within range by adding more gain on soft talkers. But both the talker and ambient sounds are treated equally, resulting in increased levels of background noise when people speak quietly. This can be very distracting to remote participants.
We accommodate both loud and soft talkers by providing gain appropriate to the sound source position in the room while keeping ambient noise consistent. The result is a signal-to-noise ratio appropriate for that position, which directly translates into a less fatiguing remote experience.
