The Yamaha YVC-1000 Unified Conference System enables efficient remote communication through audio/video integration. The YVC-1000 features separate microphone and speaker units that seamlessly integrate audio and video for natural and comfortable remote communication. The high-performance speaker unit can be placed close to the display so that audio and video signals from the remote location blend naturally, while the adaptive echo cancellation function and other Yamaha sound processing technologies facilitate stress-free conversation.

A high-quality meeting experience

Sound processing technologies combine to create a productive communication environment. The YVC-1000 incorporates many of Yamaha’s long-standing high-quality sound technologies, including a unique Human Voice Activity Detection system, which is used to detect human voices. HVAD is an important element of several different sound processing functions that require fast and efficient sorting of noise and human voices to make speaking and listening a much more relaxing and stress-free experience during remote meetings.

Yamaha's unique sound optimization technologies

Noise reduction – suppresses or eliminates unwanted sounds emitted from certain sources, such as video projectors and air conditioners. Continuous noise is removed from the ambient sound picked up by the microphone, thus allowing listeners to hear voices clearly and intelligibly.

Adaptive echo canceller – intelligently eliminates echoes generated when the microphone picks up sounds from speakers in environments with different reflective properties. The adaptive noise cancellation function processes sounds up to 20 kHz to facilitate clear and efficient conversation.

Automatic gain control – automatically boosts or attenuates the audio gain for each participant’s voice based on their level and distance from the microphone. Automatic gain control uses HVAD technology that amplifies only human voices, ensuring clear and concise communication.

Reverberation - Naturally occurring reverberation can often wreak havoc on sound quality in remote meeting situations. The YVC-1000 delivers excellent voice clarity even in spaces with excessive levels of natural reverberation. This unified conferencing system suppresses reverberation caused by the varying sound characteristics of different environments.

Automatic tracking – this feature allows the detection and localization of a person’s voice to provide the best possible sound capture. Distinguishing human voices from background noise is a useful skill especially in meetings held in noisy environments with a large number of participants. 

Automatic room EQ – optimizes speaker output in real time to perfectly match the size and acoustic properties of each room. Sound quality is automatically adjusted based on the audio signal of the current call to provide a more easily heard tone and even reduce unwanted echo.

Flexible connectivity

Connect to the Yamaha YVC-1000 via USB, Bluetooth or the audio terminals of a conference system for high-quality sound in your meetings and conferences. This range of connection options allows you to quickly adapt to multiple types of communication environments, as well as situations where holding meetings might be difficult due to the lack of a landline or Internet connectivity issues.

You can connect simply and easily by placing an NFC-compatible smartphone or tablet over the NFC logo on the top of the control unit while the Bluetooth button is flashing.

Excellent scalability

The standard YVC-1000 configuration allows you to use it in small to medium-sized meetings. For larger meetings, you can add external speakers and up to four additional YVC-MIC1000EX microphones to cover a larger area and accommodate more meeting participants.

User-friendly design

The YVC-1000 automatically optimizes its acoustic settings by learning the acoustic environment of a venue while it is in operation. When time demands speed, a simple press of the tuning fork button activates the auto-adjustment function, instantly optimizing the acoustic settings for your current environment. This button will display orange to alert the user if acoustic problems are detected, and details about these problems are accessible via the auto-guidance function.

Convenient functions

The audio mixing function mixes multiple voice input sources connected to each interface (USB, Bluetooth, and audio in/out) allowing simultaneous communication on multiple lines. For example, while connected to a web meeting via USB, you can also include multiple participants via smartphone using a Bluetooth connection by using the audio mixing function to combine the audio sources.

Equipped with an external microphone input, the YVC-1000 is ideal for applications such as remote lectures or seminars where a handheld microphone may be preferable. Simply connect an external microphone to transmit your voice through both the base unit speaker and speakers at remote destinations.
