Key Technical Features
- Adaptive Beamforming Architecture: Utilizes an array of up to 28 pre-polarized condenser capsules to create precise, steerable pickup “lobes” that focus on the active speaker while ignoring ambient noise.
- Invisible Integration: The ultra-slim, square design (590 x 590 mm) fits perfectly into standard 2-foot ceiling tile grids, blending seamlessly with the room’s architecture.
- Intelligent Audio Extraction: Features proprietary VAD (Voice Activity Detection) and Dereverberation algorithms to ensure speech is intelligible even in glass-walled rooms with challenging acoustics.
- Integrated DSP Suite: No external processor is required for basic setups; the unit includes onboard Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Automatic Gain Control (AGC), and Noise Reduction.
- Dual-Interface Connectivity: Supports both traditional balanced analog output (via Phoenix terminals) and Dual Dante Digital Networking for high-end Audio-over-IP infrastructures.
- Multi-Zone Tracking: Capable of tracking up to 8 simultaneous talkers across the room, providing a consistent audio level for remote participants.

Key Functional Highlights
- Clutter-Free Environment: By moving the microphone to the ceiling, you provide participants with a completely open table surface for laptops, blueprints, and documents without obstructing audio pickup.
- Equitable Meeting Experience: Unlike table mics where the closest person is loudest, the CAM series maintains a “Virtual Acoustic Center,” ensuring that someone sitting in the back corner sounds just as clear as someone at the head of the table.
- Camera Tracking Synchronization: The microphone reports the precise X/Y coordinates of the active speaker to the central controller, allowing PTZ cameras to frame the speaker instantly and accurately.
- Exclusion Zone Programming: Using the JAD Management Software, you can define “Exclusion Zones” to ignore noise from air conditioners, projectors, or noisy hallways, focusing only on the seating area.
- Single-Cable Deployment: Audio, power, and control data are all transmitted through a single CAT6 cable, drastically reducing installation time and costs.
