What Does a Beamforming Microphone Do?

For years, conference room technology was hampered by the need for precision and expert calibration for microphone arrays and other audio devices. But thanks to advancements in smart technology, systems are becoming smaller, cheaper, and more effective. 

A few years ago, if you wanted to be heard in your video meetings, you'd have to speak within range of a physical microphone. In many cases, these mics would be arranged throughout the room for easy access. Still, if you were even slightly out of range, your message might be lost. 

Beamforming microphones help alleviate those challenges. By using advanced AI, these smart mics can pick up any speaker, no matter where they are in the room. Plus, thanks to upgrades in noise-canceling and ambient noise reduction technologies, your voice is clear and easily heard on the other end.

A single, high-quality beamforming system can replace as large as a 12-microphone array and can help you communicate with staff and clients all over the world.

How to Experience Beamforming Microphones

One way to take advantage of the latest microphone advancements is with the Crestron Flex system. The B-Series Soundbar operates individually or as part of a larger Crestron control system. Not only does it provide crystal clear playback, but a built-in beamforming microphone ensures everyone is heard.

Crestron Flex products are not only compatible with each other. They also feature integration with Microsoft Teams, making your meetings easier to conduct than ever before. Start video conferencing calls, share files, and interact with team members across the globe with a single tool that connects your entire workforce.
