 In this video, we look at the Anchor Power Conference S3, a Bluetooth and USB enabled speakerphone. However, I will look at it from one aspect only. Can this device be used in a hybrid meeting? How does it hold up? Let's find out. Let's get started. The device comes in this small package. Inside the package are just two items. This USB-C cable and the device itself in a nice pouch. The package has nice padding and should definitely keep the device safe. Once we open the device, we have the power conference 3. Seems to have a nice heft to it. Let's put it through its paces. The reason I picked up this device is because it claims to have 360 degree voice coverage for up to 8 people. Six microphones for superior voice pickup and a digital signal processor that reduces ambient noise. Most importantly, this device can be connected both via Bluetooth and a USB. The audio that you are currently listening to is from the Anchor device. If I look at the audio levels, I can see that the audio levels are quite okay. But how does it compare to a dedicated microphone like the Shure SM7B that is right in front of me? This is the audio from this dynamic microphone. Obviously, there is going to be a difference because this is a dynamic microphone that you are supposed to keep right next to your mouth so that it captures only your voice and nothing else. The advantage of the speakerphone becomes apparent when I step back. When I want to speak from this distance, the dynamic microphone becomes useless as you can see from the audio right now. Now I have switched to the Anchor and even though the device is more than one meter away from me, the audio that you are getting should be about the same. As a microphone, I believe this is an excellent choice for a hybrid meeting as long as the hybrid meeting is conducted in a reasonably sized room. But it has a second functionality and that is the functionality of a speaker and how does that stack up? To me, it sounds quite clear even from three to four meter distance, which means again, if the hybrid meeting is in a reasonably sized room, this would be perfectly alright as a speaker also. Let's play an audio sample through the speaker and you can see how it sounds like. This tutorial shows you how to create your own video in less than five minutes. So let's get started. So as you could hear, the audio is quite beefy and fills up a room very easily. For my next hybrid meeting, I'm going to use this device for both the microphone as well as the speaker. For $100, I think it's a great value. If you are interested in picking up the product, check the link in the description. It's not an affiliate link. It just takes you to Amazon.
