ACTi CTS-RM100-USBA Whole Room Microphone Array
Overview
The CTS-RM100-USBA is a ceiling-mounted whole-room microphone array designed to capture omnidirectional audio across medium conference spaces without dead zones. Automatic beamforming tracks active speakers and suppresses ambient noise without manual reconfiguration — a practical choice when you need enterprise-grade audio pickup without deploying discrete boundary microphones or lapel systems. Install it once on the ceiling or in a rack enclosure and it handles multiple participants across a standard meeting room.
Compatibility
The CTS-RM100-USBA integrates with ACTi surveillance and conferencing infrastructure via USB audio input. Compatible with systems requiring ONVIF-compliant or direct audio-input endpoints. Verify your VMS or conferencing platform supports USB audio input before deployment. Rack mount options support standard 19-inch enclosure installations alongside network and power infrastructure.
Installation Notes
Ceiling mounting is the primary installation scenario — performance optimizes for rooms up to 25 feet by 20 feet. In larger spaces or rooms with significant acoustic treatment deficiencies, beamforming latency and coverage drop-off increase. Avoid mounting in heavily reverberant untreated spaces where reflections degrade speaker isolation. Simplified cabling (single USB connection) reduces installation complexity versus discrete microphone arrays, but ceiling access and secure mounting hardware are required.
