ReSpeaker Mic Array v2.0

The ReSpeaker Mic Array v2.0 is a hardware-based solution for creating or adding voice-interface to your projects. The board is a far-field microphone array device capable of detecting voices up to 5m away even with the presence of background noise. The onboard hardware-enabled algorithms are powered by the XMOS XVF-3000.

Several improvements have been made since the original ReSpeaker Mic Array v1.0. The first thing you may notice is the reduction of microphones. With the improved performance of the XMOS XVF-3000, including the improved full duplex AEC, we’ve been able to deliver increased performance with fewer microphones, and thus a lower cost.

Key Features

Pick Up Voices From Far Away

• Far-field voice capture enables you to capture and understand requests from up to 5m away

Focus On The Right Voice

• DoA allows the device to know the direction of a source

• BF allows the device to focus only on sounds that come from the target direction

• Ignore background noise and chatter through NS

Improved Voice Audio Quality

• Reduces environmental voice echo with de-reverberation

• Remove current audio output with AEC

Compatibility

When it comes to development we believe you should have as many options as possible. The ReSpeaker Mic Array v2.0 is able to work with most modern Linux, macOS, and Windows systems*.

*We do recommend Linux for firmware updates.
