So I'm Jason Draer with SK McDonald, and I'm very pleased to be here today representing Shore Incorporated microphone. Sure is the industry leader of wireless and conferencing microphone technology, MTR zoom rooms, production environments, podcasting. If it's a creative endeavor involving audio, or the guys you wanna use. So one of the things that we're very concerned about ensure these days kinda coming out post pandemic is this idea of meeting equity. Right? How can we ensure that when people are attending a meeting and being involved in the meeting, that they're heard clearly and equally throughout. Going back to the original UNidine microphone, and then all the way up to our, advanced ceiling array microphone technology. Shores has a history of innovation constantly pushing the envelope Our main point of focus, is our brand new Mxa nine zero two integrated sealing array. This is the first of its kind product. In that, it is not only a ceiling microphone array and DSP, but it is also an integrated loud speaker. As you look around the show floor today, you will see several other companies here with soundbar technology that features a microwave with speakers, but no one has ever actually effectively done this from the ceiling before. And the one of the main reasons Shore wanted to accomplish this was once again, back to that concept, the meeting equity, be able to be heard more equally throughout. So instead of me being too close to the microphone array and I'm louder or I'm too far back in the room, if you're within the twenty by twenty coverage area that we recommend for this product, you can be assured that you're gonna be heard equally to everybody else in the room. Right out of the box, this system is fully zoom and team certified. And because the DSP is integrated, Really, this is a one stop shop for your audio needs for that twenty by twenty conference room. From every room, from the smallest to the largest integrated spaces, that we can provide consistent quality that can scale into what they need and still manage to meet their budget because let's be honest, I mean, at some point, that becomes a factor. So so we're really excited about this because we never were able scaled down into the smaller rooms before with a short brand of product, but now we are. So the sky's the limit. A few other things that we have on the table today that we talk about are some of the other things from our Mxa, MTR approved platform. This is the MXN5 network ceiling speaker. This is our p three hundred DSP. So these are examples of products that we would incorporate with the MX A nine twenty to do a fully sure branded solution.
