PULAO ECHO

Read full description

Pulao Echo is a revolutionary compact speaker-recorder that redefines your audio experience with its small size, big sound, and smart recording capabilities. Equipped with a 50mm paper-cone speaker, it preserves every detail in voices—from breath and emotion to tiny vocal changes. The high-flex paper cone reacts swiftly to vibrations, delivering natural, detailed vocals, full and warm mids, bright yet non-harsh highs, and deep, steady bass with clear layers even in complex tracks. Designed for real-life scenarios like offices, streets, and cafés, Pulao Echo features an 8-mic custom pickup system paired with a two-stage neural noise reduction pipeline. First, it filters out far-field ambient noise; then, it restores and enhances the natural texture of speech, ensuring your recordings stay clear and easy to understand no matter the noisy environment. Its 8-mic array, tuned for the compact body, enables effective far-field pickup—capturing voices clearly from 5 to 8 meters away. Even voices from room corners remain intelligible, making it perfect for meetings, classes, and group discussions where you can’t sit close to the device. Inside Pulao Echo lies an independent 2 TOPS NPU (Neural Processing Unit), deeply tuned for voice. It matches voice algorithms for fast, efficient real-time processing, handling noise reduction, echo cancellation, and enhancement seamlessly. No lag or stutter—press record, and everything processes as you speak. A dedicated echo-cancellation system, custom-tuned to the 5W speaker’s sound profile, cancels the echo of its own speaker output and reduces room reflections that blur voices. This lets you play audio out loud while recording without muddying the voice track, so you can monitor, play back, or share audio while capturing clean speech. With specialized directional pickup modes, you can focus on the voice that matters. For meetings, it hones in on the speaker, filtering out coughs, footsteps, page turns, and side chatter—saving you tedious editing. For outdoor interviews and daily recording, it cuts through traffic, crowds, and city noise, keeping every answer clear. We create with intention, using clean design and honest materials to solve real problems. Quality is our priority—we obsess over details to deliver top-notch products at great prices. And we’re always on your side, keeping loyal customers happy as our No.1 goal.
