TOA Electronics AM-1 Real Time Steering Array Microphone System, Includes AM-1B QAM Microphone Unit, AM-1C QAM Control Unit, AD-246 Power Supply

Equipped with a built-in sensor to detect and track sound sources, the TOA Real-time Steering Array Microphone System captures voices clearly and continuously from either side, above or below. This frees speakers to move back and forth in the vicinity of the podium, turn or tilt their heads to address different sections of the audience or gesture naturally without concern for the location of the microphone. Placed unobtrusively on top of the podium or pulpit, this innovative voice-tracking microphone completely eliminates the interference and inconvenience of gooseneck or handheld mikes. Intuitive parameter setting by iPad adds further convenience.
