Yamaha Unified Communications (UC) has announced the addition of new RM-W wireless microphone options — 6-inch gooseneck, 12-inch gooseneck, omnidirectional boundary and directional boundary tabletop — to its ADECIA family of conferencing products that also includes the RM-CR remote conference processor, VXL-16P Dante PoE line array loudspeakers and SWR Series PoE network switch.
“As hybrid environments in enterprise and education spaces become the norm, the addition of the wireless microphone solution to our ADECIA portfolio rounds out the available options, allowing customers to choose the best solution for their needs,” says Tatsuya Umeo, CEO of Yamaha UC. “With the backbone of ADECIA’s features and advanced technologies, customers can be confident that no matter what microphone option is selected, they are receiving top-quality audio in the room and for far-end participants with an unmatched installation experience.”
Utilizing the automatic setup guides, ADECIA wireless is designed to automatically recognize components, pair microphones and configures them according to the room’s environment. They incorporate Yamaha technologies such as automatic echo cancellation (AEC), which adapts to changes in the environment that impact the audio in the room, and Human Voice Activity Detection (HVAD), which identifies and differentiates between a voice and a noise for superior voice capture.
Built around the latest DECT technology, the microphone setup includes a wireless spectrum analyzer to advise on how many additional microphones can be added to the system based on other wireless traffic in the area. Microphones are stated to deliver approximately 20 hours of continuous microphone operation time using the included rechargeable battery while avoiding wiring problems by utilizing one PoE+ network cable connection and enabling audio control via Dante.
“While we recognize ADECIA delivers a complete conferencing product for many, we also understand the need to add microphones to an existing system or customize a solution for a particular use case,” said Holger Stoltze, senior director of technical sales and marketing, Yamaha UC. “Offering our wireless microphones as a stand-alone option widens the opportunities for our customers to create a high-quality audio experience no matter what.”
