 Features

 

Ideal, cost-effective solution for huddle rooms, conference rooms and 
other meeting spaces

 

Quad-capsule steerable microphone array designed for use with the 
ATDM-0604 Digital SmartMixer™ and other compatible mixers

 

When controlled by a compatible mixer, provides 360° coverage from 
a potentially limitless number (bound by mixer channel count) of virtual 
hypercardioid or cardioid pickups that can be steered in 30° increments to 
clearly capture every person speaking in a room by using original synthet-
ic technology (PAT.).

 

Mixer-controlled tilt function provides a vertical steering option to accom-
modate ceilings of different heights

 

Includes Plenum-rated AT8554 Ceiling Mount with RJ45 connectors and 
push-type wire terminals for simple, secure installation with seismic cable 
to secure to a drop ceiling grid

 

Integral, logic-controlled red/green LED ring provides clear indication of 
mute status

 

High-output design with low self-noise delivers strong, natural-sounding 
vocal reproduction

 

Low-reflective white finish matches ceiling tiles in most environments

 

Includes two 46 cm (18") breakout cables: RJ45 (female) to three 3-pin 
Euroblock connector (female), RJ45 (female) to 3-pin Euroblock connector 
(female) and unterminated LED conductors

 

Permanently attached 1.2 m (4') cable with locking grommet enables 
quick microphone height adjustment

 

UniGuard™ RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio 
frequency interference (RFI)

 

Requires 11 V to 52 V DC phantom power
