Yamaha Expands ADECIA Family with Tabletop Microphone Option

The Easy-to-Install, Customizable Product Suite Adds More Flexibility to Hybrid Conferencing and Learning Use Cases

HAMAMATSU, JAPAN — April 7, 2021 — Yamaha has added the new RM-TT wired tabletop array microphone as a microphone option to ADECIA, a complete family of easy-to-install products designed to work seamlessly together to provide complete and customizable communications solutions for meetings or learning spaces. The ADECIA tabletop solution, like the ADECIA Ceiling System, integrates the RM-CR remote conference processor, VXL1-16P Dante/PoE-compatible line array speaker, and SWR2311P-10G Yamaha’s long-trusted PoE network switch, providing comfortable and effortless remote conferencing experience.

“With the hybrid style of working and learning now becoming commonplace, high-quality conferencing systems are more vital than ever to ensure a seamless and engaging communication experience,” said Nobuo Ikematsu, senior general manager of information & communication division, Yamaha. “With the additional option of Yamaha’s RM-TT tabletop microphone, users have more flexibility to customize ADECIA to their use case.”

Included within the ADECIA solution family, the new offering features the same easy setup and auto configuration features available through the RM-CR audio processor. Installation of the wired tabletop microphones is done through a LAN cable to the PoE switch. Up to eight microphone pods (four microphones per pod) can be added for scalability.

Packing into RM-TT’s low-profile form factor is all of Yamaha’s powerful sound technologies, including automatic voice tracking, auto gain control, adaptive echo cancellation, noise reduction, and reverberation suppression for optimal collaboration experiences. When the RM-CR processor and RM-TT tabletop microphones are combined, the unique voice tracking function automatically selects the microphone closest to the person speaking for optimal voice capture. For example, a meeting participant who is moving from the conference table to a white board or interactive display in the room can ensure that their voice will be captured and delivered to the far end in crisp, clear quality. In a classroom, the microphones can be setup around the room to capture every student as well as the teacher who may be presenting lessons from different areas or checking on individual progress or questions. The innovative technology also allows installers to dictate each microphone pod’s directional mode for customized room capture. Available mic options include unidirectional, super-cardioid, hyper-cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, or toroidal.

The complete solution automatically detects all components of the system and configures them to be optimized for the room environment, accounting for the location of speakers and microphones, reverberation, and echo behavior. Setting up a room is done through the system's configurator in four effortless steps. With USB, Bluetooth®, Dante, and analog connections, this flexible system can fit a variety of enterprise or meeting spaces and classrooms.

The ADECIA tabletop model, including RM-TT, will be available in summer 2021. The ADECIA ceiling solution is now shipping
