ClearOne Announces New BMA 360 Beamforming Microphone Array Ceiling Tile – Setting Unrivaled Audio Performance Standard in ...
October 19 2020 - 9:10AM
ClearOne (NASDAQ:CLRO), a leading global provider of audio and
visual communication solutions, today announces its new BMA 360,
the world’s most technologically advanced Beamforming Microphone
Array Ceiling Tile, delivering unequaled audio performance and
deployment ease.
The ClearOne BMA 360 is the world’s first truly wideband,
frequency invariant beamforming mic array with uniform gain
response across all frequency bands. With FiBeam™ technology,
conference participants will experience the ultimate in natural and
full fidelity audio across all beams and within a single beam.
Deep sidelobe beamforming, DsBeam™, provides unparalleled
maximum sidelobe depth, below -40 dB, resulting in superior
rejection of reverberation and noise in difficult spaces for superb
clarity and intelligibility.
The BMA 360 is based on a dramatically new approach to
beamforming that 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™.
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.
In addition to the advancements in beamforming technology, the
6G Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) delivers unmatched 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.
Finally, robust built-in amplifiers, configurable as 4 x 15 Watt
or 2 x 30 Watt, provide flexibility for driving loudspeakers.
ClearOne’s breakthrough technologies, FiBeam, DsBeam, and 6G AEC
combine to create VividVoice™, a significant advancement for
professional conferencing.
The integrated features in the BMA 360 significantly reduce
system design complexity, simplify installation, consume less rack
space, and lower system cost. The BMA 360 also supports
daisy-chaining of up to three ceiling tiles via P-Link for
divisible rooms, or larger conference setups – for simpler wiring,
longer distances, and lower-cost deployments compared to networked
“home-run” connections via Ethernet.
Simple, single-workflow configuration is provided by a new
release of ClearOne’s CONSOLE® AI software. Competing products
require practitioners to program multiple system components with
different toolsets: Ethernet switches, ceiling tiles, DSP mixers,
and the Dante controller.
“We introduced the world’s first professional conferencing
beamforming microphone array in 2012 and it revolutionized the
conferencing microphone in the Pro AV industry. Since then,
we have introduced a diverse line-up of beamforming microphone
array solutions to meet evolving market applications, performance,
and pricing needs,” explains ClearOne CEO and Chair, Zee Hakimoglu.
“And with the new ClearOne BMA 360, we have pushed the envelope
again by developing a product that is superior to any other
competing product in the market.”
The BMA 360 supports three different ceiling grid sizes: 24 in,
600 mm, and 625 mm. It incorporates a VESA-standard hole
pattern that supports pole mounting. Hard-ceiling mount accessory
kits are also available.
ClearOne’s BMA technology is protected by at least a dozen
patents and pending patent applications.
The BMA 360 is now shipping worldwide. For more information,
