The “neckset” was positioned as a new technology between acting as a speakerphone and a traditional headset. The SoundBeam was developed as far as a pre-production model used in market testing. A thousand of the devices were made and tested in offices across Canada. Despite being pitched to the leadership at Bell Northern and Northern Telecom and undergoing a cost breakdown analysis, the “necktie” never moved beyond the concept stage in 1983. The rise of cell phones and the invention of Bluetooth became adopted by the workforce and quickly sent technology such as the SoundBeam all but obsolete. Le casque d'écoute du cou était positionné comme une nouvelle technologie qui agissaient comme un casque d'écoute traditionnelle. Le SoundBeam a seulement été développer jusqu'à la phase de pré production et utiliser pour des études de commercialisation. Mille dispositifs ont été construit et distribuer aux bureaux à travers le Canada. Malgré la présentation du SoundBeam aux chefs de Bell Northern et Northen Telecom la phase de production n'est jamais arrivée en 1983. Les téléphones cellulaires Ainsi que le Bluetooth on apparut soudainement et fait en sorte que des technologies comme le SoundBeam est devenu périmé.
Function
This poster was developed as part of the pre-marketing promotion of the SoundBeam for use during the user testing phase. Cette affiche a été développée pour la promotion du SoundBeam et fait partie d'une stratégie déployer durant la phase de pré commercialisation.
Technical
The “hands free neckset”, which became the SoundBeam, was first proposed by Bell Northern Research industrial designer Jim Bee in 1983. The SoundBeam was developed create an area of sound around the wearer which was not interfered with from people outside the telephone conversation. Noises directly in front of or behind the shoulder set wearer are in a null space for the microphone meaning that their interference is reduced to almost zero. People to the sides of the wearer also see a significant noise reduction of up to 18 dbs. Le casque sans fil est éventuellement devenu le SoundBeam et a été propose par Bell Northern Research et leur concepteur Jim Bee en 1983. Le SoundBeam a été développé pour créer un environnement de son autour du porteur qui n'était pas dérangé par des bruits en dehors d'une conversation téléphonique. Les bruits directement en avant ou en arrière du porteur sont des espaces vide et l'interférence est réduite à quasiment zéro. Le monde qui se tient sur les côtes du porteur sont réduit en volume jusqu'à un niveau de 12 décibels.
