Clockaudio managing director Jim Hallington comments: "We have developed our RF Series technology through what is best described as popular demand. The ever-increasing ownership of handheld and pocket-sized portable technology - most notably Blackberries - particularly amongst the banking and business communities - has been causing major unwanted interference problems during important conferences and business meetings. Our new technology eliminates these problems."
The noise emitted from GSM based devices can wreak havoc on everything from a simple phone call to a complex videoconference, and everything in between. These GSM devices emit a periodic hand shaking "sync signal" to the nearest antenna tower - even when they are at rest - which creates noise, as well as data streaming noise when receiving or making calls, text messaging, sending or receiving e-mails or web surfing.
Depending on the distance of the PDA or mobile cell device to the antenna tower, these gadgets will vary their strength in order to ensure proper hand shaking which can result in loud distracting noises which takes the focus away from the real business at hand.
Clockaudio says that its new "RF Friendly" series of microphones completely strips out these artefacts without any degradation of audio quality, frequency response or sensitivity, and allows users to conduct business as usual without the need to have conference participants "check your PDA or mobile cell phone at the door".
The company reports that a number of leading international banking corporations have already placed orders for RF Series microphones.
