BMA 360 Microphone System

The BMA 360 with Voice Lift and Camera Tracking technology is the world’s most technologically advanced beamforming microphone array ceiling tile delivering unrivaled audio performance and deployment ease.

Description

The industry’s only ultra wideband, frequency invariant beamforming mic array with uniform gain response across all frequency bands. With 6G Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and FiBeam™ technology, conference participants experience natural and full-fidelity audio across all beams and within a single beam.
A dramatically new approach to precision beamforming provides a new beam topology to easily achieve distortion-free, full 360-degree coverage of any room shape and any seating arrangement using ClearOne Audio Intelligence™.
The BMA 360 Voice Lift feature provides a powerful and simple way to drive multiple mixminus speaker zones allowing everyone in the local room to hear every word.
Voice Lift provides a powerful and simple way to drive multiple mix-minus speaker zones allowing everyone in the room to hear every word.
Due to the exceptional performance of the breakthrough technologies, FiBeam™ and DsBeam™, greater Voice Lift gains can be realized that have not been previously possible.
The combination of ClearOne’s beamforming and feedback cancellation technologies provide up to a 20 dB boost in gain before feedback compared to an omni mic.
Further advancements in adaptive steering (think of it as smart switching) provide impeccable coverage of each conference participant as well as simultaneous support for camera tracking and Voice Lift.
6G Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) delivers unparalleled per-beam full-duplex audio performance. On-board audio algorithms, like noise reduction, filtering, and Automatic Level Control, eliminate the need for per-beam processing in a DSP mixer – requiring fewer DSP mixer resources.
Built-in, robust power amplifiers, configurable as 4 x 15 Watt or 2 x 30 Watt, provide flexibility for driving loudspeakers.
ClearOne’s breakthrough technologies, FiBeam™, DsBeam™, Voice Lift, and 6G AEC combine to create VividVoice™, a significant advancement for professional conferencing.
Integrated features significantly reduce system design complexity, simplify installation, consume less rack space, and lower system cost.
Daisy-chain up to three ceiling tiles via P-Link for divisible rooms or larger conference setups – for simpler wiring and longer distances compared to networked “home run” connections via Ethernet.
Single workflow for configuration using CONSOLE® AI software. Competing products require practitioners to program multiple components using different toolsets: Ethernet switches, Ceiling Tiles, DSP mixers, and the Dante Controller.
Supports three different ceiling grid types: 24 in, 600 mm, and 625 mm. It incorporates a VESA-mount hole pattern that supports pole mounting. Hard-ceiling mount adapter kits are also available.
Deep Sidelobe Beamforming, DsBeam™, provides unparalleled sidelobe depth, below -40 dB, resulting in superior rejection of reverb and noise, even in difficult spaces, for superb clarity and intelligibility
