Audio-Technica ATND1061DAN Beamforming Microphone with Dante

The Audio-Technica ATND1061DAN is a cutting-edge beamforming ceiling array microphone designed for seamless integration into modern conference rooms, boardrooms, and meeting spaces of all sizes. Its sleek, low-profile design—comparable in size to a wireless access point—allows for discreet installation, either flush-mounted or surface-mounted on various ceiling types, including drop ceilings and open architecture environments. This microphone ensures clear, natural audio capture from every participant in the room, significantly reducing distracting environmental noises.

Equipped with advanced onboard digital signal processing (DSP), the ATND1061DAN offers features such as automix, acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction, automatic gain control, and a 4-band EQ. These features work in tandem to deliver superior audio quality. The user-friendly Digital Microphone Manager software facilitates easy configuration of single or multiple microphones, allowing for up to six individual output channels and 32 user-defined microphone pickup zones. This flexibility ensures optimal coverage for a wide variety of room sizes and meeting types.
