About this item
Part of the Sonority Audio Ecosystem for conference audio and remote collaboration, the Nearity A31S is a sophisticated beamforming microphone engineered for superior audio capture in large collaborative environments, such as conference rooms. It leverages advanced 3D spatial audio technology and virtual microphone capabilities, coupled with AI-driven algorithms for full-duplex communication, noise reduction, echo cancellation, and feedback suppression. This ensures crystal-clear audio capture within a 26' radius, significantly enhancing the productivity of remote and hybrid meetings by allowing all participants to communicate clearly.
VoiceCAP Pro 3D-Immersive Audio Capture
The A31S utilizes advanced VoiceCAP Pro 3D spatial audio technology to deliver stable and precise audio capture, even in acoustically challenging environments. Unlike conventional beamforming microphones, it eliminates instability issues while effectively suppressing interference from outside the capture area.
Robust Networking and Sonority Ecosystem
The A31S system enables seamless IP-based audio mixing and networking, supporting up to eight interconnected A31S array microphones via PoE Ethernet connections. With AV-over-IP capabilities, it integrates effortlessly with a wide range of professional audio devices, making it the perfect solution for complex meeting spaces within the Sonority ecosystem.
Clairaudience-Virtual Microphone Technology
Featuring Nearity's proprietary Clairaudience technology, the A31S generates a precise 3D audio capture grid at 2" intervals, ensuring uniform and high-quality audio pickup. This virtual microphone array guarantees consistent voice clarity, regardless of participants' positions or movements, making remote meetings more immersive and natural.
Versatile Installation for Any Space
Designed with a sleek, linear form factor, the A31S seamlessly integrates into various meeting environments. It supports multiple customizable audio-capture settings and offers flexible installation options—tabletop placement, desk embedding, wall mounting, or ceiling integration—allowing it to blend effortlessly with any room’s aesthetic while delivering exceptional performance.
