MXL Microphones new AC-360-A USB Conference Room Microphone offers sleek design, flexible deployment and analogue daisy-chain architecture, simplifying multi-microphone installations.
The AC-360-A is a compact, all-metal USB microphone for professional meeting spaces, and is fully compatible with popular conferencing platforms, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet,.
At the core of the AC-360-A’s performance are 12 internal microphone capsules arranged across four quadrants, delivering true 360° coverage. The system captures clear speech up to 5ft in any direction, providing a 25ft diameter coverage area. This allows many meeting spaces to be covered with a single microphone, reducing system complexity and set-up time.
For larger or more complex spaces, the AC-360-A now can be expanded using 3.5mm TRS daisychaining, allowing multiple units to be connected in sequence. Audio is routed from the most distant microphone through the chain to the computer, where a single USB connection at the final unit manages the digital output. By combining analog daisy-chaining with a single USB output, the AC-360-A avoids the instability and limitations of multi-device USB audio systems, delivering a more stable and predictable conferencing experience.
With durability in mind, the AC-360-A features a reinforced all-metal construction suited to high-traffic conference rooms and shared workspaces. Designed for quick, flexible installation in real-world environments, removable rubber feet and included mounting pads allow placement on tables or other surfaces. An optional AC360CM ceiling mount adapter provides for permanent overhead installations. Powered entirely via USB, the AC-360-A eliminates external power supplies and reduces cable complexity, offering reliable, plug-and-play operation.
‘The AC-360-A reflects our commitment to making professional-quality audio simple and scalable for any meeting environment,’ says Product Marketing Specialist, Marc Bilderbach. ‘Whether you’re outfitting a small huddle room or a large conference space, this microphone ensures consistent, intelligible audio without the complexity typically associated with multi-microphone systems.’
