TOA AM-1-MK2 Steerable Array Microphone System

AM-1 Real-time Steering Array Microphone System has achieved the unique function of detecting the sound source location and steering its angle automatically in real-time to capture the targeted sound more efficiently. In addition, the special user-friendly iPad app allows the user to monitor live, status of the sound source tracking, and make real-time changes to setting parameters. Additionally, the AM-1 has webpage access using a PC browser allowing for setting adjustments. With this technology, the presenter would no longer need to be "microphone-conscious" to get a uniform sound level while speaking and moving.

The AM-1B is a high sound quality microphone system that features automatic adjustment capability in a slim configuration. Composed of an array microphone connected to a separate control unit, it is ideal for installations and use on lecterns. The array microphone unit's eight internal microphones detect and track the location of the sound source, picking up audio clearly and without interruption, allowing speakers to conduct presentations more naturally without worrying about the location of the microphone. In addition, setup of operation can be performed Rusing an iPad or PC browser. The control unit can be mounted in an EIA Standard rack with the use of optional rack-mounting brackets. (1-unit size)
