THE BEAMFORMING MICROPHONE ARRAY 2

The Beamforming Microphone Array 2 (BFM2) is a 2nd generation 
Beamforming Microphone Array product featuring 24 microphones, and 
beamforming and adaptive steering technology designed specifically for 
the CONVERGE® Pro 2 (CP2) products: 128, 128D, 128T, 128TD, 128V, 
128VD, 120, 48T, and 48V. The BFM2 connects with the CONVERGE Pro 
2 through a Peripheral Link (P-Link) port with either Regular (200 ft.) or 
Long Distance (650 ft.) P-Link cables. Three arrays are supported per 
CP2 via either Regular or Long Distance P-Link, and up to 6 BFM2s can 
be daisy-chained in one Regular P-Link chain with a stack of two CP2 
mixers. Power to the BFM2 is supplied through a Power-Over-Ethernet 
(PoE) or P-Link connection from CP2.
The BFM2 is supported by ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted or tabletop 
assembly.

IMPORTANT: 

The BFM2 only can be used with CP2 systems. 

It is not compatible with CONVERGE Pro or first generation 
Beamforming Microphone Array systems.
