Yamaha ADECIA offers flexible audio intelligence
- Details
Available from Q1 2021, this solution is based on Dante audio networking and comprises the new RM-CG dynamic beamforming ceiling array microphone, the dedicated RM-CR conference processor, Yamaha’s iVXL1-16P line array speakers and the optimised SWR2311P-10G PoE+ switch.
ADECIA is easy to install, set up and operate. The heart of the system is the RM-CR conference processor, which automatically recognizes microphones and speakers on the same network. During commissioning it automatically sets the optimum sound settings for the environment, taking into account the location of speakers and microphones, the room’s reverberation characteristics and echo responses. Auto-tuning is achieved with a simple, five-step process using a special web-based interface. The system then performs auto mixing of all connected Dante audio sources. The conference processor can handle a wide range of sources, including dynamic microphones, analogue line level I/O, USB, Bluetooth and SIP telephony.
The RM-CG dynamic ceiling array microphone features multi-beam tracking technology which focuses on voices. Thanks to the special spiral layout of its microphone elements, the RM-CG provides the narrowest, most precise beam for voice capture, while continuous background noise is eliminated using Yamaha’s advanced noise reduction algorithms and Human Voice Activity Detection (HVAD). Combined with its beam tracking technology, it can clearly pick up individual voices, even when more than one person is speaking.
ADECIA features further intelligent audio technologies - including speaker tracking, adaptive acoustic echo cancellation and more - to deliver crystal clear, stress-free remote communications, without requiring any technical knowledge to set the system up. Dante audio and the control and power are supplied through one LAN cable, while three different mounting methods - ceiling, VESA and wire mount - are included to suit any space.
“As times and business requirements change, achieving pristine audio quality in rooms for training, conferences, meetings and multi-purpose use normally require costly expertise to design, install and set up,” says Nils-Peter Keller, senior director Pro Audio & AV Group Yamaha Europe. “The introduction of ADECIA now allows customers to easily customize and configure a professional audio solution for remote conferencing and collaboration. With added safety requirements in today’s spaces, ADECIA enables a contact-free conference experience, meaning remote working and social distancing have no impact on the ability to communicate.”
