JAD-CAM Series | Professional Ceiling Array Microphone

The JAD Ceiling Array Microphone Series is a cutting-edge, "disappearing" audio solution designed for elite boardrooms, open-concept huddle spaces, and modern classrooms. By utilizing Advanced Beamforming Technology, this system captures crystal-clear speech from overhead, completely eliminating table-top clutter and unsightly wires. Equipped with integrated DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and Dante Networking, it ensures every participant is heard with perfect consistency, regardless of where they are seated in the room.

JAD-CAM Series | Professional Ceiling Array Microphone Overview

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.
