The Biamp Tesira CM1-6W is a 6 inch miniaturized, gooseneck condenser microphone with a cardioid capsule and fully integrated preamp that is designed with very high sensitivity for distance miking. The primary applications for the CM1-6W include ceiling-mounted video conferences, distance learning, hospital rooms, surveillance, and ambient room miking. The CM1-6W hanging ceiling microphone provides a unique combination of coverage patterns, quality audio, pleasing aesthetics, and significant noise canceling abilities when paired with the appropriate DSP algorithms.

Typically, audio quality is best when the talker is close to the mic, and the mic is further from the speaker, but it's not always possible to install mics on a table. Whether it's a matter of budget, logistics, or aesthetic preferences, ceiling mics are a viable solution for high-quality audio pickup.

Where ceiling microphones were once viewed as a challenge to integrators, their quality and capabilities have improved, as have those of DSP algorithms, to effectively eliminate ceiling and HVAC noises as impediments to quality audio. Automatic gain control (AGC), ambient noise compensation (ANC), Biamp SpeechSense™, and acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) technology are examples of these evolutionary algorithms. Depending on the environment and combination of audio algorithms used, Biamp DSPs have the potential to exponentially enhance ceiling mic performance.

Audio systems should be flexible enough to accommodate multi-purpose spaces, room combining, and comply with the aesthetic requirements of the end user. In addition to providing solutions to those customer challenges, the CM1-6W ceiling microphone enables our integrator partners to purchase DSPs and microphones from a single vendor - allowing for a more complete audio solution from Biamp Systems.
