BMA 360D

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.

> 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.

> The industry’s only ultra-wideband, frequency invariant beamforming mic array 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.

> 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.

> Due to the exceptional accuracy of the beamforming and

Deep Sidelobe Beamforming

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.
