Kandao Technology Introduces Meeting Pro 2 to Rethink Audio for Better Hybrid Meetings
Sep 10, 2026
Shenzhen, September 10, 2026 -- Kandao Technology has introduced Kandao Meeting Pro 2, an all-in-one 4K conference system designed to improve communication and collaboration in hybrid meetings. Combining a 360° conference camera system with 4K HDR video, an 8-microphone array, AI-powered audio processing and built-in AI meeting tools, Meeting Pro 2 brings video, audio, and intelligent meeting assistance together in a single device.
Designed to simplify hybrid meeting setups, Meeting Pro 2 addresses common challenges that can affect communication between in-room and remote participants, including limited visibility, inconsistent voice pickup, background noise, and room reverberation. By bringing these capabilities into one integrated system, Kandao Meeting Pro 2 is designed to provide a more consistent and engaged meeting experience while reducing the complexity of traditional conference room setups.
Meeting Pro 2 Brings the Entire Room into the Conversation
As hybrid work continues to connect in-room and remote participants, clear communication depends on more than simply connecting to a video call. Participants need to be seen clearly, heard accurately, and able to take part in the conversation without being distracted by limitations in meetings.
Kandao Meeting Pro 2 addresses these challenges with an advanced audio system that combines omnidirectional voice pickup, beamforming, AI Noise Reduction, and AI Dereverberation. Together with its 360° 4K HDR video, these technologies are designed to provide both in-room and remote participants with a more complete view and clearer communication throughout the meeting.
Clearer Voices, More Natural Conversations
In a traditional conference setup, people need to sit close to a laptop or microphone to ensure their voices are captured clearly. However, crowding around a single device for hours can make meetings uncomfortable and limit natural communication.
Kandao Meeting Pro 2 uses an 8-microphone array for omnidirectional voice pickup. The microphone system uses advanced beamforming technology to capture voices from different positions across the meeting room. With up to 18ft voice pickup, participants can sit naturally around the table instead of gathering in front of a laptop.
A high-fidelity 10W speaker complements the microphone system by clearly delivering remote participants’ voices to everyone in the room. Its high output and sound fidelity help maintain clear and natural voice reproduction, supporting two-way communication between in-room and remote participants.
Together, the microphone and speaker system allows participants to communicate without constantly adjusting their position or gathering around a single device. This helps create a more flexible meeting environment where people can focus on the discussion rather than the equipment.
Meeting Pro 2 can also connect to phones, tablets, and laptops via Bluetooth, extending its audio capabilities to calls and other everyday use.
AI Audio Processing Reduces Noise and Echo in Hybrid Meetings
Voice pickup is only part of the challenge. In real-world meeting environments, background noise and room acoustics can also affect how clearly conversations are heard. Kandao Meeting Pro 2 uses AI-powered audio processing to address these common sources of distraction.
AI Noise Reduction
Background noise, such as keyboard clicks, air conditioning, phone vibrations, chair movements, or hallway activity, is often unavoidable during meetings and can be picked up by conference microphones. Kandao Technology uses AI and machine learning to detect and reduce unwanted noise while preserving voice clarity.
By analyzing audio signals in real time, the audio system distinguishes speech from surrounding noise, helping maintain the natural characteristics of the speaker’s voice during processing. This allows participants to follow conversations more clearly without being distracted by common background sounds in meetings.
AI Dereverberation
Room acoustics can also affect how clearly voices are heard. In larger meeting rooms, glass walls, windows, and other hard surfaces can reflect sound waves and create reverberation. These delayed reflections can overlap with the original speech signal, making voices sound distant and blurred.
With built-in AI Dereverberation, Meeting Pro 2 analyzes and reduces the impact of unwanted sound reflections, helping maintain clearer and more natural voices in larger meeting spaces. Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) further prevents audio from the speaker from being picked up by the microphone and fed back into the conversation. By addressing both room reverberation and acoustic echo, these technologies work together to support clearer two-way communication between in-room and remote participants.
Meeting Pro 2 for Better Hybrid Communication
A better hybrid meeting experience depends on more than simply connecting in-room and remote participants. Everyone needs to be heard clearly, communicate naturally, and stay engaged without being distracted by unwanted noise in meetings.
By addressing common audio challenges from voice pickup to background noise and room reverberation, Meeting Pro 2 helps reduce the barriers that can make hybrid communication feel disconnected. It also brings 360° 4K HDR video and AI-powered meeting tools together in an all-in-one conference system for hybrid collaboration.
With clearer audio and a more complete view of the meeting room, Kandao Meeting Pro 2 helps bring everyone into the same conversation, whether they are in the room or joining remotely.

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang brings ‘sovereign AI’ push to Kazakhstan, shrugs off bubble fears
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is pitching the concept of “sovereign AI” in Kazakhstan – part of his global crusade urging nations to build domestic computing infrastructure using the firm’s chips – as the energy-rich nation emerges as a US-China battleground for artificial intelligence. Speaking at a fireside chat in Astana on Friday with Kazakh AI and digital development minister Zhaslan Madiyev, Huang said AI was reshaping every industry in a transformation that “affects every single person and...
China's humanoids go job hunting amid Korea's bets on physical AI
Chinese humanoid robot makers are accelerating efforts to gain a foothold in Korea, moving beyond dance performances and showroom displays to factory trials and other commercial applications as Seoul beefs up investment in physical artificial intelligence (AI). A string of Chinese robotics companies have flexed their muscles or announced projects in the country this year, including Hong Kong-listed Ubtech, startup Anyverse Dynamics, Shanghai-based Agibot and leading robot maker Unitree. “China’s new generation of robot companies has global DNA and naturally looks overseas, and Korea is one of the most important markets in Asia-Pacific,” said Ethan Qi, an associate director covering robotics at Counterpoint Research. The absence of locally built humanoids available at scale has created an opening for Chinese suppliers, he added. Early footprint Representatives of Galaxy Robot Park, a robot-themed entertainment venue in Seoul, agreed to buy Ubtech’s lifelike U1 model after attending its debut in Shenzhen in June, according to Sean Qin, overseas head of the company's commercial robo
Chung Mong-Koo Foundation's pianists sweep international awards
Three young Korean pianists — supported by Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation — have earned international recognition this year, winning top prizes at major competitions in Europe and the United States. Shin Young-ho, 19, placed second in the piano category at the 76th Giovanni Battista Viotti International Music Competition, which concluded in Vercelli, Italy, on Oct. 17. Lee Jeong-woo, 18, won first prize at the 20th George Enescu International Competition in Bucharest, Romania, in September, while Lee Ju-eon, 15, claimed prizes at three international piano competitions in the United States during the first half of the year. The achievements highlight the progress of a new generation of pianists who have received sustained support from the foundation, as they pursue international careers. Shin continued his strong performance on the international competition circuit, following a second-place finish at the Dublin International Piano Competition and a special prize at the Pancho Vladigerov International Piano Competition, both held in 2025. Selected as a foundation scholarship re
Korean builders face risk of losing $755 mil. in unpaid Iraq refinery project
Hyundai Engineering & Construction (E&C) and three other local builders are at risk of losing more than 1 trillion won ($755 million) tied up in a major Iraqi refinery project, according to documents obtained by a ruling party lawmaker Friday. Hyundai E&C, GS Engineering & Construction, SK ecoplant and Hyundai Engineering have yet to collect 625.4 billion won in outstanding payments and are facing the possible forfeiture of another 420.2 billion won in performance guarantees. The builders have been seeking payment for work on the $6.8 billion Karbala Refinery Project, commissioned by Iraq's state-owned State Company for Oil Projects (SCOP). Company materials provided to Rep. Lee Jae-gang of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea showed the construction of a refinery capable of processing 140,000 barrels of crude oil per day was delayed by factors including Iraq’s internal conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic. The companies handed over the refinery's facilities to the Iraqi side in December 2023. However, SCOP has withheld payments, citing outstanding defects and missing tax-related docume
Woojin recognized for job creation, improved working conditions
Woojin Industrial Systems, a Korean manufacturer of railway vehicles and electric buses, said Friday it has been selected for this year’s Ministry of Employment and Labor recognition program honoring companies for creating jobs and improving working conditions. The annual program recognizes 100 private companies and provides administrative and financial incentives to encourage hiring and improve workplace practices. Woojin said investment outside the Seoul metropolitan area helped drive its employment growth. It completed a 47 billion won ($35 million) electric bus factory in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, supporting efforts to recruit about 100 local workers. The proportion of the company’s workforce covered by employment insurance rose to 673 at the end of 2025 from 578 in 2024. Woojin attributed the growth to investment and recruitment partnerships with local universities and vocational high schools. Of its 140 new hires in 2025, 64 were aged 15 to 34. The company said expanded recruitment of women and support for maternity protection measures helped reduce its female employ
Financial industry heavyweights compete to head banking lobby
With the Korea Federation of Banks (KFB) set to appoint its next chairman, several former financial executives and regulators are emerging as potential candidates to take the helm of the country’s leading banking lobby, according to industry officials on Friday. The federation represents 23 full members — commercial, regional and internet-only lenders — as well as 33 associate members, comprising branches of foreign banks. The incumbent, Cho Yong-byoung, is due to leave office on Nov. 30. Yoon Jong-kyoo, former chairman of KB Financial Group, has long been viewed as a front-runner. He served as a vice chairman at accounting firm Samil PwC and president of KB Kookmin Bank before leading KB Financial from 2014 to 2023, overseeing major acquisitions including LIG Insurance and Hyundai Securities. But the prospect of another KB Financial veteran taking a top post at a financial industry association has drawn growing resistance. The concern has intensified after Lee Dong-chul, a former KB Financial vice chairman, took the helm of the Credit Finance Association this year, followed by Kim
