Introducing Sony's beamforming ceiling microphone with advanced speech reinforcement technology-enabling truly hands-free and contactless lectures and presentations.
Contactless, hands-free ceiling beamforming microphone with speech-reinforcement capability
The MAS-A100 is a state-of-the-art speech reinforcement and recording solution. Attaching and positioning lavalier microphones is time consuming, and handheld microphones restrict movement. However, the Beamforming Microphone is simply affixed to the ceiling, and is ready to use-leaving the orator location-free, hassle-free, and hands-free to focus on presenting. And what's more, operation is totally contactless-reducing risk of infection for users.
Dedicated Channels for Speech Reinforcement and Recording
Our comprehensive solution employs audio volume stabilization and clear audio processing to produce sharp recordings.
The MAS-A100 has two channel outputs. The main channel provides speech reinforcement in a classroom environment, while the dedicated rec channel records with a wider capture range and optimal intelligibility-perfect for lecture capture and remote learning. The dual-output channel enables true hybrid learning by providing speech reinforcement in the classroom and recording for remote learning simultaneously-to create a true hybrid learning solution.
Simple Installation and Management
Supporting Dante and PoE, MAS-A100 links with third-party systems via a single cable connection. Auto-calibration streamlines system configuration, and settings can easily be adjusted via the network using free MASM-1 management software. Permanent ceiling installation ensures hands-free and contactless operation. And with simple settings, central management and no need to monitor battery use, MAS-A100 is a convenient classroom audio solution.
Beamforming and Intelligent Feedback Reducer
The integration of beamforming technology and our market-leading Intelligent Feedback Reducer produces clear audio with hands-free speech reinforcement, leaving the presenter hands-free. Sony's high-performance digital signal processing and unique algorithms extract speech sound while suppressing unwanted feedback (howling).
Noise reduction
Our Ceiling Microphone incorporates advanced noise-reduction technologies to minimize ambient noise. Stationary background noise arising from projectors and air conditioning is automatically detected and reduced to achieve clear sound resulting in better intelligibility and, ultimately, better understanding for listeners.
