SpeechMike
Premium
Overview
The most professional dictation microphone ever.
​
Listening to the feedback of our partners and professional users has made the Philips SpeechMike the accepted standard for digital desktop dictation – in both small offices and large organizations operating around the globe. For the development of the SpeechMike Premium, Philips used this feedback to release a device that is unprecedented in both sound quality and ease-of-use, positioning the SpeechMike Premium at the forefront of professional digital dictation. With the latest generation SpeechMike already being vastly superior, the SpeechMike Premium takes dictation to a new level. May it be the free-floating studio quality Precision Microphone, a microphone grille with optimized structure, built-in noise reduction pop filter, antimicrobial surface or the world’s first motion sensor in a stationary digital dictation device – the SpeechMike Premium sets the new standard. The housing of the new SpeechMike Premium comes with a polished premium finish and pearl grey metallic look – reducing fingerprints and unwanted touch noises. On top of that, the SpeechMike Premium is backwards-compatible with its predecessor – for easy plug & play integration in existing systems. The Philips SpeechMike Premium sets the standard for digital desktop dictation – in every possible way. With breakthrough technologies such as the free-floating studio quality Precision Microphone and the hexagonal grille around it, offering 10 percent more open space than round holes.

Key Features
Free-Floating, Decoupled Microphone
The microphone in the new SpeechMike Premium is decoupled from its housing for the most incredible crystal clear recording performance ever to be delivered by a desktop dictation device. The completely redesigned microphone suspension guarantees that almost no background, touch, click, air or structure-borne noise is recorded. This technique is derived from studio microphones to make sure there are no sound distortions whatsoever – and to guarantee outstanding speech recognition results.
Metal Microphone Grille With Optimized Structure
A well-engineered microphone grille is able to make a high-end microphone as in the new SpeechMike Premium stand out even more. The hexagonal holes used for the metal grille feature three times more open surface than its predecessor, engineered to provide crystal clear recordings.
Integrated Pop Filter
The microphone area of the SpeechMike Premium is made of many different layers to make it sound as clear and original as possible. One of those is a fleece inserted above and below the microphone capsule. The fleece filters out sound distortions such as pop and hiss noise, guaranteeing perfect results even if dictating closely into the microphone.
Optimized Control Panel With Tactile Buttons And Ergonomic Zones Design
Philips is the creator of the ergonomic zones design. SpeechMike Premium has been tested and proven by users to have the most comfortable fit in the human hand. The dictation zone is optimized to keep thumb movement to a minimum. The buttons needed for the actual dictation functions are placed centrally, in the area most convenient for the thumb, guaranteeing perfect ergonomics and non-fatiguing usage for the user. Less frequently needed function buttons are clearly arranged above and below. All buttons used are formed to give as much tactile feedback as possible.
