MAS-A100 IP-Based Ceiling Beamforming Microphone

The Sony MAS-A100 is an IP-based beamforming microphone designed to provide clear audio for both speech reinforcement and recording in corporate meetings, lectures, and presentations. The microphone is simply affixed to the ceiling and ready to use, saving you the inconvenience of setting up a lavalier mic or holding a handheld mic.

The beamforming technology provides a pickup pattern that changes with the location of the sound source, allowing the presenter to move around while maintaining consistent sound quality, great for hands-free presentations.

With Dante networking capability, the MAS-A100 can be integrated into existing A/V setups and used with a wide range of products supporting the Dante digital audio-over-IP networking standard including interfaces, switches, mixing consoles, and more. Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables installation and power management with a single network cable.

The MAS-A100 has two output channels. One for speech reinforcement (with a PA system required) and one for simultaneous recording. The dedicated recording channel provides a wider capture range and optimal intelligibility, allowing for crisp recordings that include not only the speaker's voice but also the students or participants.
