MXL Microphones recently announced a partnership with ooVoo, a video communications service. MXL is a division of Marshall Electronics that offers a variety of microphone solutions.  The partnership is intended to unite a high quality web conferencing platform with professional grade USB microphone software. MXL and ooVoo want to provide users with an exceptional web conferencing experience.

ooVoo is a real-time web conferencing and video chat service that has over 11 million subscribers to date. Video calls on ooVoo can support up to six callers simultaneously. The company was founded in 2006 and provides high-quality video-driven communication service to anyone with a computer, internet connection and a web cam. The best feature of ooVoo, arguably, is that the service is completely free. MXL teamed up with the free video conferencing provider to enhance user experience and optimize sound quality. “It’s a perfect match,” said Perry Goldstein of MXL . “Over-the-net communications have skyrocketed in recent years and while video quality has vastly improved, audio quality has lagged behind. MXL microphones are designed to make video chats and web conferencing feel and sound more natural.”

MXL has launched a whole suite of USB microphones to be packaged with ooVoo, in hopes of optimizing the web conferencing experience while keeping costs low. The first microphone to be released is the MXL Professional Series Pro 1B USB Microphone. MXL plans to package ooVoo software with its USB microphones and leverage the partnership with other products in the development pipeline.

“We’re excited about teaming up with MXL to help consumers and businesses connect through the power of ooVoo,” explains VP of Business Development at ooVoo, Rodger Wells. “MXL’s line of high quality microphones creates a superior user experience when combined with ooVoo’s high quality voice capability delivered anywhere, anytime.”

WC Blog is excited about the partnership because together the services will optimize the web conferencing experience. ooVoo and MXL realize the importance of focusing on the basics, like high quality audio, instead of fancy extras when it comes to web conferencing. It’s the perfect match! For more information visit: www.mxlmics.com and www.ooVoo.com.
