The conceptual Voice Bar Microphone has been designed by Yaman Gupta as a desktop peripheral for users who spend ample time on calls to ensure they are always in control of their audio.
The device features a rotating control function that will broadcast audio when horizontal and mute when swiveled into the vertical position. This provides users with a physical indication that their microphone is in use or muted to keep them in total control at all times.
The conceptual Voice Bar Microphone takes an analog approach to digital audio controls, but comes as a timely design that would be right at home in the age of Zoom calls. The microphone would no doubt prevent users from unintentionally broadcasting audio during calls and ensure a smooth experience.
