It extends voice pickup deeper into a meeting room so people at the far end of the table are heard as clearly as those sitting near the display. Each pod covers a 7.2 m (24 ft) diameter and includes a mute button with status LEDs, so it also serves as a mute control point at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Logitech Rally Mic Pod 2 work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRally Mic Pod 2 uses seven omnidirectional microphones that form six acoustic beams. Logitech RightSound 2 processing on the host applies AI noise suppression, AI echo suppression, AI voice equalization, voice activity detection, direction of arrival and acoustic echo cancellation, so the far end hears voices rather than keyboards and HVAC noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pod connects to the host over shielded Cat cable through RJ45 Link In and Link Out jacks. Logitech supports Cat5e SF\/UTP up to 40 m (131.2 ft) or Cat6 SF\/UTP up to 70 m (229.6 ft) between the host and the first pod, with up to 10 m (32.8 ft) between daisy-chained pods. Logitech lists Rally Board 65 (up to two pods, CollabOS 2.1 or later) and Rally Bar 2 (up to four pods, CollabOS 2.2 or later) as compatible hosts. Firmware updates are delivered by the host during its normal CollabOS update cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRally Mic Pod 2 is not compatible with first-generation Rally Plus, Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini.
