MeanVC2: Robust Low-Latency Streaming Zero-Shot Voice Conversion

MeanVC2 is a robust, low-latency streaming zero-shot voice conversion (VC) system built upon the diffusion-based conditional flow matching (CFM) framework. By introducing Future-Receptive Chunking (FRC) and a Universal Timbre Token Encoder (UTTE) , MeanVC2 achieves high-fidelity voice conversion with an end-to-end pipeline latency of only 110 ms while maintaining superior speaker similarity and audio naturalness even with a 40 ms chunk size .

✨ Key Features

• 🚀 Ultra-Low Latency Streaming : 110 ms end-to-end first-packet latency with 40 ms chunk size; full pipeline RTF < 0.633 on single CPU core.
• ⚡ Single-Step Generation : Mean flows + 1-NFE ODE solving for high-quality mel-spectrogram synthesis.
• 🎯 Zero-Shot Capability : Convert to any unseen target speaker without re-training, robust under low-quality reference audio.
• 💾 Lightweight : Only 18M parameters — far smaller than competing streaming VC systems.
• 🔊 High Fidelity : Future-Receptive Chunking (FRC) with Universal Timbre Token Encoder (UTTE) for pronunciation-aware timbre modeling.

💻 Quick Start

1. Clone and Install

git clone https://github.com/ASLP-lab/MeanVC2.git
cd MeanVC2

conda create -n meanvc2 python=3.11 -y
conda activate meanvc2

pip install torch==2.5.1 torchaudio==2.5.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Download Pretrained Models

python initialization.py --task all

Or download selectively:

python initialization.py --task preprocess   # BN + SpkEmb extraction only
python initialization.py --task train_120ms  # preprocess + 120ms VC + vocoder
python initialization.py --task train_40ms   # preprocess + 40ms VC + vocoder

3. End-to-End Voice Conversion

No pre-extracted features needed — input two wavs, output converted audio:

# 120ms+40ms model (recommended for quality)
python src/infer/infer_e2e.py \
    --source-wav /path/to/source.wav \
    --target-wav /path/to/target.wav \
    --ckpt-path ckpts/pretrained_models/meanvc2_120ms_40ms.safetensors \
    --model-config src/config/config_120ms_40ms.json \
    --vocoder-ckpt-path ckpts/vocos/vocos.pt \
    --chunk-size 12 --steps 3 \
    --output-wav output.wav

# 40ms+40ms model (lower latency)
python src/infer/infer_e2e.py \
    --source-wav /path/to/source.wav \
    --target-wav /path/to/target.wav \
    --ckpt-path ckpts/pretrained_models/meanvc2_40ms_40ms.safetensors \
    --model-config src/config/config_40ms_40ms.json \
    --vocoder-ckpt-path ckpts/vocos/vocos.pt \
    --chunk-size 4 --steps 3 \
    --output-wav output.wav

4. Real-Time Streaming

cd runtime

# File mode
python run_rt.py --mode file --input in.wav --output out.wav --model 120ms

# Microphone mode
python run_rt.py --mode realtime --model 40ms
