aurio · noise cancelling mic for mac
Your voice, minus the room.
A noise cancelling microphone for your Mac. Call apps clean up their own calls; Aurio cleans the mic itself, on‑device, so every app hears you without the room.

how it works
One clean microphone for every app.
Install & pick your mic
Aurio listens to the microphone you already use and runs quietly in the menu bar.
Noise fades out
Your voice is denoised in real time on your Mac — with a strength slider and A/B preview.
Select “Aurio Microphone”
Pick it once in Zoom, Meet, Slack, or any recorder. They all hear the clean signal.
one input, every app
Your Mac just sees another microphone.
Aurio installs itself as a real input device. Pick it once — in a meeting app, a recorder, anywhere — and everything hears the cleaned signal.
why not just use…
You may already have noise suppression. Here’s the difference.

macOS Voice Isolation
Free and built in, but it only works in apps that support Mic Modes, and it is either on or off. Aurio is a real microphone, so it works in any app that lets you pick one, and its strength is a slider.
Zoom, Meet or Teams suppression
Each app cleans up its own calls and nothing else. Your recorder, OBS and the next app still hear the room. Aurio cleans the mic once, for every app.
