Josh Nano microphones in Carrara white and onyx black, josh.ai
Josh Nano
“Josh Nano is the world’s first architectural microphone—a beautiful device that seamlessly blends into any design aesthetic. Equipped with a four-microphone array featuring advanced far-field listening, a privacy switch that physically disconnects the microphones when toggled and a capacitive touch sensor for contextual touch control, the Nano packs quite a punch in its small frame (just a bit larger than a quarter). When paired with the Josh Core, clean, intuitive and user-privacy-driven voice control and automation have never been more accessible.”
