BMA 360D-I
Biamp BMA 360D-I White Ceiling Tile Microphone Array
The Biamp BMA 360D-I is a 600 mm by 600 mm ceiling tile microphone array built around 121 elements. It forms up to 12 preset or custom beams, sends individual beam audio over Dante, and adds a smart-switched mix of active talkers with echo cancellation and noise reduction. It suits boardrooms, training rooms and voice lift setups in Doha offices, universities and government meeting rooms. Request a quote.
What the BMA 360D-I picks up
The BMA 360D-I is a ceiling tile microphone array sized for standard 600 mm by 600 mm grids, so it installs in a suspended ceiling in place of a regular tile. Inside, 121 microphone elements work together using ultra-wideband, frequency-invariant beamforming. This keeps beam shape and gain response consistent across the voice frequency range, so a participant at the far end of a table is not noticeably quieter than someone sitting close to the array.
Outputs and beam control
Each beam can be sent as pure, unprocessed audio on its own Dante channel. Your DSP handles all processing, so audio engineers keep full control of gain, equalisation and routing. A separate smart-switched output carries a mix of the active talkers, with echo cancellation, noise reduction and level control applied. The array supports up to 12 beams in preset or custom patterns, so coverage can follow the table layout rather than the other way round.
Because the outputs use Dante, the array works with any Dante-enabled DSP, which keeps your choice of processor open when systems are upgraded later.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Boardrooms in West Bay or Lusail: a ceiling array keeps the table clear while still picking up in-room speakers during video calls with teams abroad.
- Training rooms in Education City or a government training centre: beams can be aimed at seating blocks, and a voice lift setup helps instructors reach the back rows without raising their voice.
- Camera-tracked meeting rooms: the array is suited to camera tracking integration, so the picture can follow whoever is speaking in a hybrid meeting.
What to plan before installation
Check that the ceiling grid is 600 mm by 600 mm and that there is clear space above the tile for the unit and its cabling. Plan the Dante network before installation, because each beam needs its own channel on your DSP. Ceiling height, room shape and seating layout all shape how many beams you need. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, so the beam plan can be checked in the room before you commit. Confirm the conditions of your space with the SmartRooms Qatar team as part of that review.
Ordering for your project
Government ministries, schools and universities often buy through purchase orders (LPOs) or tenders, and SmartRooms Qatar supports both. Payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order is accepted. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar, and professional installation can be included in the quotation. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Request a quote for the BMA 360D-I, quoting item number 910-00010 and the number of units you need, and we will usually reply within one working day.
