What is a Wireless Speakerphone?

A wireless speakerphone is a tool that combines a speaker and microphone that can be connected wirelessly. Using a speakerphone makes it easier to have stable and comfortable communication even in web conferences with a large number of participants.

I personally think this gadget has seen a significant increase in demand as telework and online meetings have become more common.

You can also use a microphone and speaker as a substitute, but considering the sound quality and pickup, it is still best to use a speakerphone. Especially with a built-in computer microphone and speaker, there are limits to the pickup, so it is essential when having a web conference with a large group in a conference room with another conference room, etc.

So, this time I will introduce eMeet’s wireless speakerphone “eMeet M2 max“.

As compared in the specifications, I will compare them in more detail here.

Speaker

The speaker has been enhanced compared to the previous model. The maximum output is from 3W to 5W. The volume can be increased significantly.

The downside is that the minimum volume is also high. Unlike the previous model “eMeet M2”, which could be easily used for single-person use or in small rooms, the current model “eMeet M2 max” is not so easy. It is geared towards use by a large number of people, so if you are considering using it for a small number of people, you should definitely choose the previous model “eMeet M2”.

On the other hand, if you are considering using it in a large conference room or with a large number of people, the current model “eMeet M2 max” will be more convenient.

Also, even if you don’t know how much sound quality matters in a meeting, the sound quality is better in the current model “eMeet M2 max”.

Microphone

I feel that the sensitivity adjustment has improved even more than before. Perhaps because it is designed for use in large conference rooms, the current model “eMeet M2 max” seems to be more sensitive to small sounds.

Portability

The previous model “eMeet M2” was lightweight and easy to carry around, and its weight was not noticeable even when put in a bag. However, the current model “eMeet M2 max” is quite noticeable in weight. Compared to the previous model, it feels considerably heavier.

Echo & Noise Cancellation

The previous model “eMeet M2” also had very good echo and noise cancellation using eMeet’s unique VoiceIA audio signal processing technology, but the current model “eMeet M2 max” is even better.

Number of Participants

The previous model could handle a considerable number of people, up to 8, but the current model can handle up to 15 people, and up to 30 people when two units are linked.

Other

A 3.5mm stereo jack has been added, which was not available in the previous model. This allows you to listen to sound with headphones, etc.

Also, the current model has rubber processing on the back for vibration isolation.

Summary

The “eMeet M2 max” is a speakerphone specialized for use in large conference rooms and with a large number of people. It is quite expensive, but I feel that its performance is at the top level in the industry.

If you have frequent web conferences at work and need to gather a large number of people in one place, it is worth investing in this even though it is expensive.

Also, personally, I recommend connecting wirelessly rather than using a cable to take full advantage of the potential of the “eMeet M2 max“.
