Audio-Technica ES954 Hanging Microphone Array
Audio-Technica has released the ES954 hanging microphone array, which is designed to be a cost-
effective solution for huddle rooms, conference rooms, and other meeting spaces. When controlled
by the Audio-Technica ATDM-0604 Digital SmartMixer, the four-capsule microphone array provides
360-degree coverage through virtual hypercardioid or cardioid outputs that can be steered horizon-
tally and tilted vertically.
Intended primarily for videoconferencing applications, the ES954 may be used singly or
in multiples to capture all people speaking in a room. When using the ATDM-0604 Digital
SmartMixer, the intuitive graphic interface enables control of the width and orientation of
each virtual polar pattern, steerable in 30-degree increments, with a tilt function accom-
modating differing ceiling heights or users that are sitting/standing. Used in conjunction
with a gate on each microphone channel, the system could be configured to automatically
follow anyone talking while moving around the space.

GENELEC 8361A MONITOR
& W371A WOOFER
Genelec The Ones
8361A & 8351B
Monitors & W371A
Subwoofer
Genelec has expanded The Ones series of
point-source monitors to serve a wider range
of room sizes, listening distances, and SPL
requirements. The new monitors include the
8361A and 8351B coaxial three-way monitors
alongside the complementary W371A Adap-
tive Woofer System.
The largest coaxial monitor in The Ones
family, the 8361A is tailored to listening
distances up to 5 m, making it suitable for
small- to medium-sized rooms. It features two
acoustically-concealed woofers, generating
high SPL output with extremely low distor-
tion. The new MDC coaxial midrange and
tweeter drivers provide smooth directivity,
low distortion, high SPL, and extended fre-
quency response up to 40 kHz. The Minimum
Diffraction Enclosure eliminates colouration,
and its entire front baffle acts as a directivity
control waveguide.
The newly-upgraded 8351B draws
inspiration from the electronic design of
the 8341A and the driver technology of the
8361A. It offers increased SPL, additional
room compensation EQs, equalized delay,
and enhanced HF response.
