AMX100

What the Nearity AMX100 does inside a conference room

The Nearity AMX100 is a digital signal processor designed for the ceiling microphone system. It sits between the ceiling microphone array and the rest of the room's audio chain, taking the microphone signal, processing it, and routing it to loudspeakers, a room PC or the existing A/V conferencing equipment. Because its interfaces accept a range of devices, it can also work with traditional MCU conference rooms, which makes it a practical way to upgrade audio in a meeting space that is already in use.

Connections for loudspeakers, PCs and controllers

The unit is built around the connections a conference room actually needs:

• Phoenix ports for connecting up to 8 loudspeakers.
• USB-B 2.0 for a laptop or room PC, with a USB-A 2.0 port also fitted.
• USB-C for an additional microphone.
• 3.5mm analog input and output plus a TRS port for the room's A/V conferencing system, with a 6.35mm analog input also provided.
• RJ45 ports for the controller and the ceiling microphone connection.

Wireless microphones and ACT10 controllers are among the devices the interfaces support, alongside loudspeakers and PCs, so one room can combine several device types.

Audio processing that adapts to the installation

The AMX100 can adjust the degree of the ceiling microphone algorithm depending on the installation environment, producing different pickup effects. Its processing covers AI noise reduction, acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), de-reverberation and acoustic noise suppression. These functions are available in both conference mode and local reinforcement mode, so the same unit can serve a video call or a room where the speaker needs local amplification.

Where it fits in Qatar

A ministry in West Bay refitting a boardroom with a ceiling microphone array can use the AMX100 to link the array to the room PC for hybrid meetings with teams in other cities. A university training centre in Education City running seminar rooms for Arabic and English sessions can route audio to several loudspeakers from one processor. A hotel in the Lusail area fitting out a conference floor can use the unit's multiple outputs and device connections across its meeting rooms.

What to plan before ordering

Confirm the number of loudspeakers first, since the AMX100 supports up to 8 through its phoenix ports. Check the ceiling microphone and controller connections against the room layout, and confirm the DC 48V 5.2A power requirement with your installer. The unit measures 255.4×163.8×45.8mm, so allow space in the equipment rack or cabinet. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar helps confirm cable routes before installation. For schools or departments equipping several rooms, a purchase order (LPO) can cover the full set in one quotation.
