What the AMQ20 does in a room

The Nearity AMQ20 is a ceiling-mounted microphone that uses beamforming to follow whoever is speaking. Rather than picking up the whole room evenly, it focuses on the active voice and reduces sound arriving from other directions. This helps when several people speak in turn or when a classroom is noisy.

With the microphone mounted overhead, no cables run across desks or tables. The room stays tidy, and staff have less to manage during a lesson or meeting.

Facts that matter for a buyer

Speaker tracking: the system follows the primary sound source in real time.
Cardioid pickup: a directional pattern that favours the main speaker and limits off-axis sound.
Noise handling: noise suppression and equalisation reduce background hum and echo.
Capacity: one system supports four microphones at the same time.
Power: built-in phantom power, so the system provides phantom power for simple setup.
Platforms: supports Zoom and Microsoft Teams as well as custom AV setups.

Where it fits in Qatar

In a university lecture theatre in Education City, the microphone can capture questions from students seated across the room, so remote participants on a hybrid session hear them as clearly as the lecturer. A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out new classrooms could use it for group discussion without placing a microphone on every desk.

A meeting room in West Bay or Msheireb that connects with teams abroad benefits from speaker tracking when several people sit around a long table. For larger installations, the AMQ20 can be paired with the Nearity AMIX140 audio processor.

What to plan before installation

Confirm the ceiling type and the microphone position relative to where people sit before ordering, because beamforming pickup works best when the room layout is known. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to check the mounting position, cable routes and conferencing platform before installation. The manufacturer data for this model does not give an operating temperature range, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm conditions before installing in any space that is not air-conditioned. Nearity offers a 1-year warranty on its products. For a school or training centre ordering several units, a purchase order (LPO) can cover every room.

Request a quote for your room

Questions about AMQ20

What is the Nearity AMQ20 used for?

The AMQ20 is a ceiling-mounted beamforming microphone for classrooms, lecture theatres and meeting rooms where several people speak. It tracks the active speaker in real time, reduces background noise and sends clear voice to video conferencing or hybrid teaching. It suits education and corporate spaces in Qatar that need intelligible speech without desk-mounted microphones.

How many microphones can one AMQ20 system support?

One system supports four microphones simultaneously. That makes it practical for a room where a lecturer, a few students or several meeting participants need pickup from the ceiling. Confirm the layout during a site survey so the number of pickup points matches the seating in the room. Quotations are usually issued within one working day.

Does the AMQ20 work with Zoom and Microsoft Teams?

Yes, the manufacturer states that the AMQ20 supports Zoom and Microsoft Teams, along with custom AV setups. Before ordering, confirm the room's conferencing PC or video codec, since the connection method depends on your existing system. SmartRooms Qatar can advise on this during the quotation stage.

What is beamforming and why does it matter in a classroom?

Beamforming lets the microphone focus on sound from the direction of the speaker rather than picking up the whole room evenly. In a classroom in Education City or a school in Al Wakrah, a student asking a question near the back is captured while chatter across the room is reduced. Speaker tracking adjusts as people move around.

Can the AMQ20 support a lecture theatre with remote students?

Yes. In a university lecture hall, the ceiling-mounted microphone can capture questions from students seated across the room, so students joining from elsewhere hear them clearly. Pairing with the AMIX140 audio processor is an option for larger installations. Ask for a quote that specifies the hall size and the number of pickup points.

Does the AMQ20 need a separate phantom power supply?

The AMQ20 has built-in phantom power, so the microphones do not need a separate phantom power source for basic setup. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm which cables and connection equipment your room needs before you order, so the quotation covers everything required.

What does the AMIX140 add to the AMQ20?

The Nearity AMIX140 audio processor is designed to work with the AMQ20 for enhanced performance. Together they suppress noise, manage feedback and deliver broadcast-ready sound for hybrid learning or webinars. Consider it for a lecture theatre, training centre or boardroom that streams to remote audiences. Request a quote for both products together.

Is the AMQ20 suitable for a hot or dusty location?

The AMQ20 is intended for indoor meeting and teaching rooms. The manufacturer data does not list an operating temperature range or dust rating for this model. For spaces without air conditioning, such as a covered terrace or a lobby beside a window that receives strong sun, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm suitability before ordering.

What warranty does the AMQ20 carry?

Nearity offers a 1-year warranty on its products, which applies to the AMQ20 under the manufacturer's terms. Products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty when supplied by SmartRooms Qatar. Ask the team to confirm delivery and professional installation details in your quotation.

Do I need a site survey before ceiling installation?

A site survey is useful before installing a ceiling microphone in a room with a suspended ceiling, a high ceiling or a long table. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to check the mounting position, cable routes and seating layout. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar. Ask for a survey when you request your quote.

Can a school order several AMQ20 units for multiple classrooms?

Yes. Schools and training centres can order several units against a purchase order (LPO), and SmartRooms Qatar can quote the microphones, audio processors and installation together. Quotations are usually provided within one working day. Include the number of rooms, the platform and the ceiling type in your request.

How does the AMQ20 help meetings around a long table?

Speaker tracking helps in meetings where people sit around a long table and speak in turn. The microphone follows the active speaker, and cardioid pickup reduces sound from the far side of the table, supporting clearer calls with teams abroad. Confirm the table length and seating plan when requesting a quote.
