What the Nearity A40 does in a meeting room

The Nearity A40 is a linear ceiling array microphone built for video conferencing. Its 24 MEMS microphones are arranged along a housing that measures 351.4 mm in length, so the unit picks up voices across a table without needing a microphone in front of every participant. The manufacturer states an effective pickup range of 8m x 8m (26.2ft x 26.2ft), which suits a meeting room of that footprint.

Adjustable beams, AI noise suppression and echo control

The eight sidelobes can be set to match your room layout and seating arrangement. This keeps the pickup focused on the people at the table while reducing sound from other directions, such as a door or a corridor. An onboard digital signal processor with AI noise suppression helps separate speech from background noise. Echo cancellation and automatic gain control keep the level steady for remote participants, and full-duplex operation lets both sides speak at the same time.

Where the A40 fits in Qatar

Boardrooms in government and corporate offices: a ceiling-mounted array keeps the table clear for laptops and papers, and the meeting can run on one platform such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom Rooms.
Training rooms at universities and training centres: the 8m x 8m pickup area covers a small to medium room where a presenter and participants need to be heard in a session with colleagues abroad.
Large lecture halls: up to eight units can be daisy-chained, so a single room can be covered by several arrays rather than one unit.

Planning the installation

Each order includes one A40, a 10m UTP Cat6 cable and an accessory package. The unit is powered from the network cable over PoE, so plan for a PoE switch or injector in the comms cabinet and confirm that every port in use can supply power. If a run is longer than the supplied 10m cable, add CAT6 cable of suitable length. Mounting options include suspended, wall and desktop bracket. With a length of 351.4 mm, check the ceiling grid, the position relative to the table and the lighting before you fix the unit. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm the mounting position before installation.

Questions about A40

What is the Nearity A40 and who is it best suited to?

The Nearity A40 is a linear ceiling array microphone for video conferencing. It uses a 24-element MEMS microphone array to capture voices across a meeting room, so participants do not need microphones on the table. It suits IT and facilities teams equipping boardrooms, meeting rooms and training rooms that run Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams or Skype. Request a quote to confirm it fits your room.

Is one A40 enough for a boardroom in West Bay?

The manufacturer states an effective pickup range of 8m x 8m (26.2ft x 26.2ft), which suits a meeting room of about that size. For a larger boardroom, several units can be daisy-chained, up to eight on one chain. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to measure the room, check ceiling conditions and advise on unit count and placement before you receive your quotation.

How do the eight sidelobes work in a real meeting room?

The eight sidelobes can be configured to match your table layout and seating positions. This focuses pickup on the people sitting at the table and reduces sound from other directions, such as a door or a corridor. Share your seating plan with the installer so the beams can be set to match it. Adaptive pickup beams and intelligent audio mixing then work with that setup during meetings.

Will the A40 pick up air conditioning and other background noise in a Doha meeting room?

The A40 combines beamforming with AI noise suppression, which is trained to separate human voice from other noise in a meeting environment. This helps speech stay clear when air conditioning runs for long hours in summer. The source data does not give an operating temperature range, so confirm the installation environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before mounting it in unconditioned or semi-outdoor areas.

Which video conferencing platforms does the A40 work with?

The manufacturer states compatibility with leading third-party video conferencing software, including Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams and Skype. The unit also offers full-duplex audio and echo cancellation, which matter most for two-way calls. If your organisation uses a different platform, include its name in your quote request so we can confirm compatibility before you order.

How is the A40 powered, and what cabling does it need?

The A40 is powered by its DSP over PoE, so it does not need a separate power adapter, and the packing list does not include one. It connects using UTP CAT6 cable and has two RJ45 Ethernet ports. Each order includes a 10m UTP Cat6 cable. Ask your network contractor to confirm that the PoE switch or injector in your comms cabinet can supply the ports you plan to use.

How many A40 units would a lecture hall at Education City need?

Up to eight A40 units can be daisy-chained, with each unit linked to the next over CAT6 cable. This suits a long lecture hall where one microphone cannot cover the whole room. Plan the cable route from the comms cabinet to each unit and total the cable length, since each order includes one 10m cable. SmartRooms Qatar can prepare a cable schedule with your quotation.

Can the A40 be mounted in a hospital conference room in Al Sadd with a suspended ceiling?

Yes. The A40 can be suspended from the ceiling, wall-mounted or set on a desktop bracket. It measures 351.4 mm long, 81.4 mm wide and 33.5 mm high, so check the ceiling grid, the room height and the position relative to the table and lights first. SmartRooms Qatar provides a free site survey and professional installation to confirm the mounting position.

Is the A40 suitable for a hybrid training session between Doha and teams abroad?

Yes. The A40 is designed for video conferencing, with full-duplex audio and echo cancellation so both ends can speak at the same time. For a training room or office in Lusail running sessions with colleagues abroad, the 8m x 8m pickup area and noise suppression help the remote group hear the room clearly. Test the room with your platform before the session, and request a quote that matches its size.

Can we order for several meeting rooms through a purchase order or government tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and supports government tenders, including those on Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. We deliver to all eight municipalities of Qatar and offer professional installation. List the number of rooms and their sizes in your request so the team can quote each room separately.
