ClearOne BMA 360D Ceiling Tile Dante Array Microphone

ClearOne BMA 360D Ceiling Tile Dante Array Microphone

The BMA 360D with Dante audio is the microphone array ceiling tile that incorporates the world’s most advanced technology and works with any Dante enabled DSP mixer. Choose any DSP mixer that has Dante audio and the BMA 360D pairs perfectly and delivers unrivaled audio performance.

The BMA 360D incorporates the industry’s only ultra-wideband, frequency invariant beamforming mic array technology with uniform gain response across all frequency bands.

FiBeam technology gives users the ultimate in natural and full fidelity audio across all beams and within a single beam. 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 audio clarity and intelligibility.

Pure unprocessed beam audio is delivered on individual Dante transmit channels-one channel for each beam. A smart-switched output is delivered on a separate Dante transmit channel which provides the best selection of talkers and provides ClearOne’s full suite of audio enhancements including echo cancellation, noise cancellation, and level control.

Convenient preset beam patterns for common room layouts or custom beams patterns for unique floorplans, combined with adaptive steering (think of it as smart switching), provides impeccable coverage of every conference participant.

Individual Dante receives channels drive built-in, robust power amplifiers. The amplifiers are configurable as 4 x 15 Watt or 2 x 30 Watt and provide flexibility for driving loudspeakers.

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.

The industry’s only ultra-wideband, frequency invariant beamforming mic array technology with uniform gain response across all frequency bands. With FiBeam and DsBeam technology, participants experience natural and full-fidelity audio across all beams and within a single beam.

Due to the exceptional accuracy of the beamforming and adaptive steering technology, voice lift and camera tracking functions have remarkable performance on any capable attached DSP mixer.

Supports two different ceiling grid types: 24 in and 600 mm. A VESA-mount hole pattern provides support for pole mounting. Hard-ceiling mount adapter kits are also available.

Key Features

• Convenient ceiling-tile form factor, drops easily into standard ceiling-tile grid systems
• Three sizes available to fit US and international ceiling-grid tile sizes
• Flexible, scalable, and cost-effective, built-in processing eliminates the need for per-beam processing in a DSP mixer, requiring fewer DSP mixer resources
• Daisy-chain ceiling tiles via P-Link for larger conference set-ups, for simpler wiring and longer distances compared to networked “home run” connections
• Long distance P-Link mode allows 650' (200m) between tiles for a total cable reach of 1950' (600m)
• Most advanced acoustic echo cancellation, noise cancellation
