Shiftall Inc. is pleased to announce the USA launch of mutalk 2, Available for pre-order in the USA and scheduled for shipment in May 2024.
“mutalk 2” is a wireless soundproof microphone compatible with both PCs and smartphones, that isolates your voice, making it difficult for others to hear and preventing ambient noise from being picked up while you speak. From the original “mutalk”, it comes with upgraded microphones, communication chips, and an enhanced internal structure for higher sound quality. Regular mouth pad, “mutalk 2” also includes a “nose cover mouth pad” for a more natural voice quality.
After COVID19, remote meetings became very common. However, conducting remote meetings in quiet offices, co-working spaces, or cafes can be a nuisance to others and pose a risk of information security. Moreover, when voice chatting in the Metaverse or online game, it’s easy to get heated up and inadvertently raise your voice. In such cases, using “mutalk 2” allows for worry-free voice communication without disturbing family or neighbors. The wireless soundproof microphone “mutalk 2” offers an affordable and space-saving solution, like a portable soundproof room.

2. More natural voice with a new structure
The new microphone and structure picks up even low tones. Moisture during prolonged use has also been addressed. In addition, the nose cover mouth pad(included) prevents a nasal sound and achieves a natural voice because it covers the nose.

Features
1. Utilizes Helmholtz resonator to achieve a muffling effect of -20 decibels or more
“mutalk 2” utilizes the Helmholtz resonator principle to achieve a significant sound muting effect despite its small size.
When used in a normal ambient setting, the user’s voice is reduced to a level where a person sitting next to you would not be able to hear what is being said.In high frequency range (1,600 Hz to 2,000 Hz), such as shouting, the sound is muffled by over -30 decibels.

2. Wireless soundproof microphone for various situations
Automatic mute feature for online meetings
“mutalk 2” will automatically mute when placed upright on a desk or flat surface, and unmute itself when placed over the mouth. Of course, you can also turn off the automatic mute function.
Can be used with smartphones
Since smartphones do not allow the Bluetooth microphone and earphones to run on separate devices. mutalk 2 can be used as a wireless headset of a smartphone and also a PC when you connect wired earphones to its 3.5mm jack.
Removable headband allows hands-free use
A removable headband is Included that is for hands free use with online games, VR, and other applications. By using the band, you can use the controller to play games, or take calls while typing or taking notes on a PC.
3. Hygiene-conscious, two types of removable mouth pad
Includes two different types of mouth pads, each with unique features.
Mouth pad
Does not cover the nose, so makes it easier to breathe. It proves especially effective during intense physical movements in VR games or when shouting loudly during live broadcasting. However, the voice sounds a bit nasally because it doesn’t pick up sounds from the nose.
Nose cover mouth pad
Designed to cover not just the mouth but also the nose, it prevents your voice from sounding nasal, resulting in a natural voice similar to that with a typical microphone.
The mouth pads and the moisture absorbing cushion are both removable and can be washed in water.
