Yamaha has expanded its Adecia conferencing solution family with the wired RM-TT Tabletop Microphone.
Like the Adecia Ceiling System, the tabletop system is based on Dante audio networking and comprises the dedicated RM-CR conference processor, VXL1-16P line array loudspeakers and SWR2311P-10G PoE+ switch. With DSP built in to maximise voice capture, the RM-TT relays speech in high quality, with flexibility and scalability.
Designed without due consideration for their acoustics, office conferencing spaces often have large reflective tables and participants can be several metres from the microphone. The Adecia Tabletop Solution addresses these problems with Yamaha DSP technology in the form of the low-profile, wired RM-TT. This includes innovations such as auto voice tracking, auto gain control, adaptive echo cancellation, noise reduction and reverberation suppression.
‘With a hybrid style of working, training and learning – partly office-based, partly at home –becoming commonplace, high-quality conferencing systems are more vital than ever to ensure seamless professional communications,’ says UC Europe Sales & Marketing Manager, Marcus-Michael Müller. ‘With the additional option of Yamaha’s RM-TT tabletop microphone, users have more flexibility to customise Adecia to their use case.’
All Adecia solutions are easy to set up, with automated room tuning making them suitable for a wide variety of spaces thanks to the RM-CR, which handles all auto mixing and auto configuration.
When the RM-CR processor and RM-TT tabletop microphones are combined, the voice tracking function automatically selects the microphone closest to the person speaking for optimal voice capture. For example, this can be when a meeting participant moves from the conference table to a whiteboard or a teacher is moving around a classroom.
Up to eight RM-TT pods can be added to the system, connected via a PoE switch to the RM-CR conference processor. The RM-CR lets users customise room capture patterns by choosing one of six directional modes for each microphone pod. These modes (cardioid, super-cardioid, hyper-cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional and toroidal) can be used to divide rooms into dedicated zones for different participants, reduce noise from other people in the room and ensure that, even if the person speaking moves around, their voice will be clearly heard.
The solution automatically detects all components of the system and optimizes them for the room environment, taking into account the location of speakers and microphones, reverberation, and any echo. Setting up a room is done through the system’s configurator in five steps. With USB, Bluetooth, Dante and analogue connections, this flexible system is suitable for a variety of enterprise or meeting spaces and classrooms.
The Adecia Tabletop Solution, including RM-TT microphone, will be available in summer 2021.
