The ATND1061 Beamforming Ceiling Array Microphone is an ideal solution for conference rooms, boardrooms, and meeting spaces large and small. The microphone may be used singly or in multiples (for larger meeting spaces) to capture every person speaking in a room with clear, natural audio that reduces distracting environmental sounds. A state-of-the-art professional product in a familiar form factor (roughly the size of a wireless access point), the ATND1061 is easy to install, set up, and operate.

Room configuration, zone setup, and other settings are handled through the user-friendly Digital
Microphone Manager software application. The ATND1061 has six individual output channels, which, collectively, can be configured with up to 32 user-defined microphone pickup zones, providing the flexibility to cover a wide variety of room sizes and meeting types.

Our proprietary voice activity detection (VAD) technology enables the microphone to discern between a voice and unwanted noises such as paper shuffling. For integrations without external digital signal processing (DSP), the ATND1061 features powerful onboard DSP, including automix, acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), noise reduction, automatic gain control (AGC), and 4-band EQ.

Exclusion zones can be set to avoid known sources of unwanted noise (such as air-handling systems), helping to maximize the effectiveness of the built-in noise-reduction and automatic-mixing functions.

The Dante-enabled ATND1061DAN has two network ports, which can be configured to fit any installation requirement. In "Single Cable Mode," Dante audio and microphone control data are sent together over a single standard category cable. In "Split Mode," Dante audio and microphone control data are sent separately over two category cables.
