BMA 360D
Biamp BMA 360D White 24x24-inch Ceiling Tile Microphone Array
The Biamp BMA 360D White is a ceiling tile microphone array that fits a standard 24-inch by 24-inch drop-ceiling grid. Its 121 elements form up to 12 beams and output individual Dante channels plus a smart-switched mix with echo cancellation and noise reduction. It suits boardrooms, training rooms and lecture spaces in Qatar that need discreet, full-room pickup. Request a quote today.
A flush ceiling microphone for rooms that need discreet pickup
The BMA 360D is a white ceiling tile microphone array built for the 24-inch by 24-inch grid used in most suspended ceilings. Its 121-element array feeds a beamforming engine that can run up to 12 beams, either preset patterns or custom layouts drawn for a specific room. Because the array sits in the ceiling, meeting tables stay clear and participants never need to handle or place a microphone.
Specifications that shape the design
- Audio outputs: individual unprocessed beam channels over Dante, plus a separate smart-switched mix with echo cancellation, noise reduction and level control.
- Network standards: Dante and AES67, so the array integrates with any Dante-enabled DSP.
- Power: PoE injector or equivalent. Microphone-only use needs 30 W PoE+; driving speakers from the unit requires a 56 V, 90 W IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ source.
- Cabling: factory-terminated solid core Cat 6 with an RJ-45 PoE++ port.
- Size and weight: 23.7 by 23.7 by 2.1 inches, 11.1 lb (5.0 kg).
- Operating range: -10 °C to 40 °C ambient.
Where it fits in Qatar
A boardroom in Msheireb or West Bay that hosts calls with teams in Europe and Asia can use one ceiling array to capture every seat, with beams aimed at the table and a camera tracking the active speaker. A private school in Al Wakrah refitting a training room can set separate beams for the teacher zone and the student seating, sending each channel to the DSP for mixing. A ministry meeting room in Doha, where Arabic and English discussions often run side by side across the Sunday to Thursday working week, benefits from a unit that stays out of sight while still covering irregular seating.
What to plan before ordering
Confirm that your suspended ceiling uses a standard 24-inch module and that the ceiling void has room for the 2.1-inch depth and the Cat 6 cable. The rated operating range tops out at 40 °C ambient, which is below outdoor summer peaks above 45 °C in Qatar, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to check ceiling void and room conditions during the free site survey. Choose a PoE source to match your use, either PoE+ for microphone-only operation or 90 W PoE++ if speakers are driven from the unit. Where a suspended grid is not suitable, the separate surface-mount and recessed-mount kits are available as optional accessories.
