Overview of Audio-Technica ES954 Hanging Microphone Array
The ES954 Hanging Microphone Array is an ideal, cost-effective solution for huddle rooms, conference rooms and other meeting spaces. Intended primarily for videoconferencing applications, the ES954 may be used singly or in multiples to capture every person speaking in a room, with the total number of channels restricted only by the capacity of the mixer or DSP device controlling the system.
Features:
Quad-capsule steerable microphone array designed for use with the ATDM-0604 Digital SmartMixer® and other compatible mixers
When controlled by a compatible mixer, provides 360° coverage from a potentially limitless number (bound by mixer channel count) of virtual hypercardioid or cardioid pickups that can be steered in 30° increments to clearly capture every person speaking in a room
Mixer-controlled tilt function provides a vertical steering option to accommodate ceilings of different heights
Includes plenum-rated AT8554 Ceiling Mount with RJ45 connectors and push-type wire terminals for simple, secure installation
Integral, logic-controlled red/green LED ring provides clear indication of mute status
High-output design with low self-noise delivers strong, natural-sounding vocal reproduction
Low-reflective white finish matches ceiling tiles in most environments
Includes two 46 cm (18") breakout cables: RJ45 (female) to three 3-pin Euroblock connector (female); RJ45 (female) to 3-pin Euroblock connector (female) and unterminated LED conductors
Permanently attached 3.0 m (9.8') cable with locking grommet enables easy microphone height adjustment
Included seismic cable secures the AT8554 Ceiling Mount to a drop ceiling grid
UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
