Clockaudio just introduced a Tracking Intelligent Microphone, the TIM-1000. Streamlining and elevating a new standard for huddle rooms, conference rooms and videoconferencing facilities, the flexibility and adaptability of TIM-1000 will enable the microphones within the space to track the person that is speaking and follow that person anywhere in the room.

The concept behind TIM-1000 is simplicity, adaptability and ease of installation with a user-friendly set up. The TIM-1000 installs just like a ceiling speaker (using dog legs) and can easily be installed in a drop ceiling or hard ceiling. TIM is “set to go” and does not require any programming or the need to set up different lobes. In addition, it can self-configure to any space.

At the core of TIM’s new level for microphone intelligence is Clockaudio’s Adaptive Proximity Technology (APT). This APT allows TIM to keep a consistent sound level for the person speaking and will automatically compensate for the distance of the participant from the microphone while maintaining real time audio capture.

TIM’s features are many. It only requires one channel of AEC, making it cost effective. UL listed, TIM works well with any soft codec, is compatible with both Dante and AES67, making it easy to work with any DSP of choice. Other features for TIM-1000 include noise suppression, 3-band EQ, intuitive GUI and an RGB ring that provides for visual room status. Powered over ethernet, the device utilizes API control via UDP commands and comes with separate control and audio paths. TIM-1000 is available in custom Nextel colors to fit the décor and aesthetic of any room.

Clockaudio is here.
