Overview

Ceiling microphone array set with Dante®

With the Versa Lite BMA 360D, ClearOne offers a bundle consisting of USB22D audio interface and BMA360D beamforming microphone array with Dante connectivity as a professional solution for video conferencing.

The USB22D connects seamlessly to the BMA 360D via the Dante® network. This powerful combination enables easy setup and configuration with ClearOne CONSOLE AI Lite software and Audinate® Dante® Controller software.
With support for 2x2 channels of bi-directional USB audio, the USB22D provides PCs and conferencing solutions with an interface to the BMA 360D.
The BMA 360D's amplifiers can be configured for either 4 x 15 watts or 2 x 30 watts of power and allow for easy speaker integration.

Product Details

  • BMA 360D: The BMA360D offers the industry's only ultra-wideband, frequency-independent beamforming microphone array technology with uniform gain across all frequency bands. With FiBeam™ and DsBeam™ technology, participants experience natural and faithful sound across all beams and within a single beam.
  • Deep Sidelobe Beamforming, DsBeam™, provides unparalleled attenuation of over 40 dB with no sidelobes, resulting in superior reduction of reverberation and noise, even in challenging rooms, for outstanding clarity and intelligibility.
  • With preset beam configurations for general room layouts or user-defined beam configurations for individual floor plans, combined with adaptive control, the BMA360D provides flawless coverage for all conference participants.
  • All beams can be made available on individual Dante channels prior to processing. The Smart Switched output is provided on a further Dante output, which provides a sum generated by the full range of ClearOne audio processors including echo cancellation, noise reduction and level control.
  • The Dante input channels feed the integrated power amplifiers with up to four audio signals. The amplifiers can be configured as 4 x 15 watts or 2 x 30 watts, providing flexibility to drive different speaker configurations.
  • The precision of the beamforming and adaptive steering technology enables the implementation of voice lifting and camera tracking.
  • USB22D: Supports 2x2 channels of bi-directional audio, allowing PCs and mobile devices with Dante-enabled devices to play and record audio over a standard IP network.
  • Compatible with the Dante Domain Manager
  • Cable included to connect to a USB-C host port and a USB Type-A host port.
