Audio-Technica ES954 Hanging Ceiling Microphone Array
for Huddle Rooms, Conference Rooms and Other Meeting Spaces
The ES954 Hanging Microphone Array is an ideal, cost-effective solution for huddle rooms, conference rooms and other meeting spaces. Intended primarily for video conferencing 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.
When controlled by the ATDM-0604 Digital SmartMixer®, the four-capsule microphone array provides 360-degree coverage through virtual hypercardioid or cardioid outputs, which can be steered horizontally and tilted vertically. The intuitive graphic interface of the ATDM-0604 enables control of the width and orientation of each virtual polar pattern, which may be steered in 30-degree increments, with a tilt function accommodating different ceiling heights and users who are sitting or standing.
The ES954 comes with a plenum-rated AT8554 Ceiling Mount with RJ45 connectors and push-type wire terminals for simple, secure installation. The included seismic cable secures the ceiling mount to a drop ceiling grid. The microphone array connects to the mixer over a pair of standard category cables with the two included RJ45 breakout cables enabling connection to the mixer’s mic inputs and LED control. The microphone’s permanently attached 1.2 m (4') cable features a locking grommet for easy height adjustment, and its UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI). An integral, logic-controlled 360-degree red/green LED ring provides clear indication of call and system status.
