Yamaha Unified Communications has announced the new RM-TT tabletop and RM-CG ceiling-mount microphones for conferencing applications, both designed around the Dante platform and incorporating the company’s automatic voice tracking, auto gain control, adaptive echo cancellation, noise reduction, and reverberation suppression while designed to integrate with a room’s existing conferencing equipment or a variety of third-party components.
“Following the success of our ADECIA line, the RM microphone family was engineered to provide all the advantages we built into that complete solution, but in a standalone model for applications utilizing Dante networking protocols,” says Holger Stoltze, senior manager of technical sales and marketing at Yamaha Unified Communications. “This allows integrators seeking Yamaha’s high-quality audio leadership to upgrade the room’s microphones easily and with confidence. They can, for example, add each microphone to the room’s existing DSP while still benefitting from all of Yamaha’s latest, state-of-the-art audio processing technology. It also allows designers and consultants to use Yamaha technology in new designs with third-party equipment.”
In addition, the new Dante-enabled microphones offer voice tracking technologies designed to allowi for lively conversations to be picked up and delivered clearly to the far end. The tabletop model voice tracking function automatically selects the microphone closest to the person speaking for more optimal voice capture, and its human voice activity detection technology is designed to anticipate additional voice locations for improvided conversation pickup. It also includes six selectable directional modes that include omnidirectional, bidirectional, unidirectional, supercardioid, hypercardioid and toroidal.
In addition, the RM-CG incorporates Yamaha’s dynamic beam tracking, which utilizes multi beams to automatically track voices within the room simultaneously. This technology is designed to eliminate the need to program fixed lobes, which can often lead to dead spots within the meeting space. Design changes or room setup flexibility can also be done without the need to reprogram microphones. The ceiling microphone array supports ceiling mount, wire mount, or pole mount options.
Both microphone options are available now.
