Temple University’s Fox School of Business is leveraging the power of ClearOne’s BMA 360 Microphone and CONVERGE Pro 2 DSP Mixer to empower educators with easy-to-use classroom systems that improve usability and remote learner experiences. According to the school’s IT director, Vikram Singh, the tumultuous COVID years created an urgent need for modern remote communication tools that provide convenience, reliability, and room-to-room consistency, and most importantly, deliver crystal-clear audio quality for every remote participant.
“By 2021, we had demoed a variety of solutions with our partner installation firms. We decided that the ClearOne BMA 360 and CONVERGE Pro 2 solutions offered the most user-friendly and flexible system that could be adapted into a range of room types and sizes,” Singh explained. “The first room we addressed was an event space of around 3,000 square feet with 20-foot ceilings, which previously relied on wireless handheld and lavalier microphones for voice pickup. Adding three BMA 360 ceiling tile microphones throughout the room greatly simplified use and increased efficiency because it can pick up voice accurately and clearly from any spot in the room, eliminating the need to hand-deliver microphones for audience questions.”
