Microphone Array System Manager MASM-1

What the MASM-1 manages on your network

The Sony Microphone Array System Manager MASM-1 is management software for the MAS-A100 Beamforming Microphone. Instead of configuring each microphone by hand, you run one application that installs and manages several units centrally over the local network. It covers initial setup, calibration, general settings, day-to-day operation and firmware management.

Discovery, registration and grouping

The search function looks for MAS-A100 units across the local area network, then sets them up and registers them with the manager. Once registered, you can group devices in whatever arrangement suits your building, such as by floor, wing or cluster of meeting rooms, so related microphones can be handled together.

Calibrating several microphones in the same room

Auto calibration can run on multiple microphones at the same time inside one room, and each Beamforming Microphone is tuned to that room's acoustic parameters. In a boardroom with several units, this means one calibration session rather than adjusting each device separately, which shortens setup before the room goes live.

Settings that return after restarts and standby

The software assigns default settings to each device when it is turned on and when it moves from standby back to active. Audio settings are initiated automatically at startup, so a room that is shut down overnight or over a weekend comes back to its configured state without manual reconfiguration.

Where it fits in Qatar

• Ministry boardrooms in Doha, where several microphones must be calibrated to one room and managed by IT staff from a single place.
• University lecture theatres and seminar rooms in Education City, where a central team needs to see the status of many rooms without visiting each one.
• Hotel and conference venues in Lusail and West Bay, where room configurations change often and default settings must be restored reliably after startup.

Planning the PC and network before rollout

The manager runs on Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) with a 2GHz or faster processor, at least 4GB of memory, at least 300MB of disk space and a minimum display resolution of 1280x720. It also needs Google Chrome version 70 or later and .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later. Because discovery runs across the local network, confirm that the host PC and the microphones sit on the same network before installation.

A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm room layouts and network arrangements before you decide on the number of units. If your project covers several rooms, a purchase order (LPO) is an option. Request a quote, tell us how many MAS-A100 microphones you plan to manage and where they will be installed, and we will confirm the software requirements for your project.
