Introducing the ClearOne BMA 360
News / 20.11.20
The BMA 360 is the world’s most technologically advanced ceiling tile beamforming mic array, delivering unrivalled audio performance and deployment ease for your clients audio and video conferencing.
Based on a dramatically new approach to beamforming, the BMA 360 provides a new beam technology to easily achieve distortion-free, full 360-degree coverage of any room shape and any seating arrangement. In addition, the BMA 360 gives users the ultimate in natural and full fidelity audio across all beams and within a single beam.
Key features
> Deep Sidelobe Beamforming, DsBeam™, provides unparalleled sidelobe depth, below -40 dB, resulting in superior rejection of reverb and noise in difficult spaces for unrivaled superb clarity and intelligibility.
> Further advancements in adaptive steering (think of it as smart switching) provide impeccable coverage of each conference participant as well as support for camera tracking.
> Built-in, robust power amplifiers, configurable as 4 x 15 Watt or 2 x 30 Watt, provide flexibility for driving loudspeakers.
> Integrated features significantly reduce system design complexity, simplify installation, consume less rack space, and lower system cost.
> Single workflow for configuration using CONSOLE® AI software. Competing products require practitioners to program multiple system components using different toolsets: Ethernet switches, Ceiling Tiles, DSP mixers, and the Dante Controller.
> 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™.
> 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.
> ClearOne’s breakthrough technologies, FiBeam, DsBeam, and 6G AEC combine to create VividVoice™, a significant advancement for professional conferencing.
> 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.
> 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
