Introducing the All-New BFM 2 from ClearOne

ClearOne’s new second generation Beamforming Microphone Array 2 continues to advance the art of voice conferencing and extraordinary audio fidelity with the industry’s most sophisticated audio beamforming, adaptive steering, acoustic echo cancellation, and noise cancellation technologies.

“This second generation, highly selective and directional Beamforming Microphone Array is optimized to operate with ClearOne’s next generation CONVERGE® Pro 2 audio conferencing platform,” said Durai Ramachandiran, ClearOne’s Senior Director of Product Line Management for Pro Voice and AV Distribution. “Twenty-four microphone elements in the array adaptively guide audio pickup patterns towards conferencing participants, rejecting unwanted noise and reflections, and delivering unmatched conference room performance.” ClearOne’s original Beamforming Microphone Array was the audiovisual industry’s first professional grade microphone array with beamforming and adaptive acoustic steering. The design is sleek and attractive in any environment, and the array automatically senses its own mounting position – on a ceiling, wall, or table – to optimize audio signal processing for the best possible performance.

The Beamforming Microphone Array 2 is ideal for a wide range of audio environments, including boardrooms, large- and medium-size conference rooms, large lecture halls, courtrooms, and telemedicine facilities. ClearOne’s second-generation Beamforming Microphone Array 2 is unequaled when it comes to delivering natural and superior-quality audio in a way that is transparent to conference participants.

We have seen many success stories with the original beam forming microphone array from ClearOne.  When people say that it does amazing things, it really does.  It seems to work better the more challenging the room is.  It provides consistent pick up, and doesn’t exhibit the issues of traditional microphones.  While hanging microphones work great, they often leave much to be desired. The further away you are from the microphone, the more thin in sound, and lower in level the audio is.  The BFM solves these issues with the help of the 24 microphone elements.

We’re thrilled that ClearOne has made the BFM even better!   We’ll be out in the field providing demo’s once we receive demonstration units.  For now, if you’d like to learn more, check out this video:
