Beamforming Microphone Array

Beamforming Microphone Array – Key Features
+ Industry’s first professional grade beamforming microphone array
+ Patent-pending beamforming & adaptive streering technology
+ ClearOne’s Next-generation AEC
+ 24 Microphone elements
+ Mono & Stereo modes
+ Adaptive acoustic processing
+ Flexible mounting – ceiling, wall and table
+ Works with CONVERGE® Pro 840T, 880, 880T and 880TA

Beamforming & Adaptive Steering
+ Beamforming is a way of combining signals from many microphones to create focused
pick-up patterns.
+ Automatically steers pick-up pattern towards the talkers in the room and rejects
unwanted noise and reflections; reducing the hollow sound and room noise.
+ Beamforming technology reduces constraints on height, distance and angle.
