The Logitech Rally Mic Pod, part number 989-000430, is an audio input device designed to expand microphone coverage for Logitech Rally and Rally Plus video conferencing systems. This mic pod integrates with the Rally table hub, utilizing RightSound Technologies such as Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Voice Activity Detector (VAD), and background noise suppression to optimize speech clarity. Its four omnidirectional microphones form eight acoustic beams, which are steered by a broadside beamforming algorithm to focus on active talkers and reduce ambient noise. Each mic pod offers a 15-foot (4.5m) pickup range and includes a mute button with an LED indicator. It supports daisy-chaining up to seven mic pods, enabling scalability for larger meeting spaces. This solution is suitable for businesses requiring enhanced audio pickup and noise reduction in conference rooms, supporting up to 46 participants when fully expanded with a Rally system.
The Rally Mic Pod is compatible with Logitech Rally and Logitech Rally Plus systems. It connects to the table hub included with these systems and is not compatible with the standalone USB Rally Camera.
A single Rally system with one Mic Pod supports 10 participants. With a Rally Plus system and two Mic Pods, it supports 16 participants. By daisy-chaining up to seven Mic Pods with a Rally system, the recommended capacity extends to 46 participants.
The Rally Mic Pod incorporates Logitech's RightSound Technologies, which include machine learning AI for distinguishing human speech, Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Voice Activity Detector (VAD), and background noise suppression. It also uses a RightSound Mic Matrix with a broadside beamforming algorithm for precise voice pickup.
The package contents for the Rally Mic Pod include one Rally Mic Pod unit and documentation. It features a captive 9.6 ft (2.95m) 12-pin cable for connection.
