The ClearOne Aura XCEED BMA is a USB-enabled audio-conferencing microphone system specifically designed for the professional home office. Featuring a BMA CTX beamforming ceiling microphone, Automatic Echo Cancellation, full 360° coverage, and Adaptive Steering, it dramatically enhances the audio experience of your conference calls, capturing natural-sounding conversations with highly intelligible speech from anywhere in the room. Easy to install, the sleek microphone cleanly and discreetly blends in with most of today's drop ceilings to create a business environment every bit as productive as a corporate office, for professionals working from home.
With plug-&-play operation and no complicated setup required, the XCEED BMA quickly connects to your Windows/macOS laptop or room computer directly through the USB port on the included Versa USB (USB cable available separately). Just use the included 50' Cat 6 cable to connect the microphone and the Versa USB to each other, and you're all set for productive distance collaborations with all your favorite cloud-based, video-conferencing apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and more.
You can enhance the functionality of the XCEED BMA with the addition of a Bluetooth Wall Panel that enables mobile devices to join the conference wirelessly for communicating via smartphones. Bluetooth makes this system smart-speaker-ready with support for Alexa, Cortana, Google Home, and Siri. Also available are the Aura Passive Wall Speakers designed to connect to the BMA CTX's built-in 2 x 10W amplifier and provide clear sound distribution to all participants.
For video-conferencing applications, you can expand your XCEED BMA system with a variety of Aura peripherals. Adding the Versa Hub enables you to connect a variety of Unite conferencing cameras and up to two HDMI room displays. For convenience, the hub lets you connect all the peripherals to your laptop or room computer via a single USB cable.
A free COLLABORATE Space lifetime subscription is included. COLLABORATE Space is a powerful cloud-based video collaboration application with a full suite of audio, video, and meeting tools, all in one space. It comes with its own suite of powerful tools for online meetings including messaging, integrated file sharing, whiteboarding, annotation, meeting minutes, scheduling, and more.
It features built-in Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Noise Cancellation (NC), Automatic Level Control (ALC), and beam selection delivers clear, 360° coverage in small- to medium-sized rooms.
ClearOne's approach to beamforming provides a precise beam topology that easily achieves high speech intelligibility—two patterns with either 5 or 6 beams.
Full-duplex transmission is free from sound clipping, allowing for fluid conversation both ways.
Adaptive Steering also supports camera tracking, with the microphone following the conversation, leading the camera where in the room the participants are speaking.
