ClearOne Unveils the BMA 360DX for Modern Conferencing
ClearOne, a leading name in conferencing, collaboration, and communication solutions, has launched the BMA 360DX, an all-in-one innovative solution designed to enhance conferencing audio quality and promote sustainable meeting environments. This new offering integrates a sophisticated beamforming microphone array, a fully equipped Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with Dante®, and a built-in multi-channel amplifier within a single ceiling tile.
Revolutionizing Audio Experience
According to Derek Graham, the CEO of ClearOne, "The BMA 360DX dismantles traditional audio barriers by merging cutting-edge AV and IT technologies to deliver unmatched performance and ease of deployment." He emphasizes how this transformative product reflects ClearOne's dedication to making high-quality professional audio accessible, combining superior performance with eco-friendly design at a competitive price point. This comprehensive design reduces the need for rack space and minimizes packaging, storage, and shipping impacts, ultimately leading to a greener conferencing solution.
Advanced Technologies for Superior Performance
ClearOne's BMA 360DX features advanced beamforming microphone processing that ensures ultra-wideband, frequency-invariant performance with consistent gain across all frequency ranges. With FiBeam™ technology, users can enjoy rich, natural, and full-fidelity audio across multiple beams. Additionally, the Deep Sidelobe Beamforming (DsBeam™) significantly reduces sidelobe levels, offering excellent reverb and noise rejection in challenging environments, resulting in crystal clear sound and improved intelligibility.
With 7G Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and adaptive acoustic processing, ClearOne establishes a benchmark for echo removal and enables true full-duplex audio, even in acoustically challenging spaces. These breakthrough technologies collectively create VividVoice™, a game-changing advancement in professional conferencing that focuses on providing a fair and equal experience for all participants.
Unmatched Flexibility and Integration
The BMA 360DX is engineered with Precision Beamforming capabilities that also facilitate seamless camera tracking, delivering unmatched audio quality along with rich, natural sound. It supports native camera tracking for networked PTZ cameras, enhancing the visual experience while simplifying integration without the need for external controllers. The Voice Lift feature amplifies audio coverage across various zones, ensuring clear communication, especially in larger venues.
Equipped with an integrated DSP processor, the BMA 360DX effectively manages and processes all audio signals comprehensively. This includes essential functions like acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, automatic mixing, feedback elimination, and compatibility with Dante® technology. The internal power amplifiers can be selected between 4x15 Watt or 2x30 Watt options, which streamline installations with loudspeakers.
Simplifying Setup and Management
Setting up the BMA 360DX is designed to be quick and user-friendly, featuring auto-detection for additional beamforming microphone arrays and accessories such as USB expanders and audio inputs. Its scalable architecture allows it to adapt to diverse meeting configurations with ease.
Customization is straightforward using the user-friendly CONSOLE® One software, while the CONVERGENCE® AV Manager offers a powerful tool for managing and monitoring the BMA 360DX alongside other ClearOne devices, including DSP processors and wireless microphones.
Compatibility with Major Collaboration Platforms
Like all ClearOne offerings, the BMA 360DX seamlessly integrates with leading collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams®, Google Meet®, Zoom®, and WebEx®. This compatibility ensures that users can easily include the BMA 360DX into their existing workflows.
The BMA 360DX will be showcased at ISE 2025, providing attendees an opportunity to experience its capabilities firsthand at Booth# 2N220 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Vía Venue.
