1. Introduction
The BMA 360D features the following:
• Deep Sidelobe Beamforming, DsBeam™, provides unparalleled sidelobe depth, below -40 dB, resulting in superior
rejection of reverb and noise in difficult spaces for superb clarity and intelligibility.
• Precision beamforming to easily achieve distortion-free, full 360-degree coverage of any room shape and any seating
arrangement using ClearOne Audio Intelligence™.
• 6G Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) delivers unparalleled per-beam full-duplex audio performance. On-board
audio algorithms, like noise reduction, filtering, and Automatic Level Control, can eliminate the need for per-beam
processing in a DSP mixer – or greatly reduce DSP mixer resource requirements.
• Built-in, robust power amplifiers, configurable as 4 x 15 Watt or 2 x 30 Watt, provide flexibility for driving loudspeak-
ers.
• ClearOne’s breakthrough technologies, FiBeam, DsBeam, and 6G AEC combine to create VividVoice™, a significant
advancement for professional conferencing.
• A Dante interface provides 12 unprocessed beam outputs for maximum flexibility when connecting to a multi-channel
DSP, one SmartMix output provides automixing, AEC, and noise cancellation processing in a single output, four input
channels feed the 4 speaker channels, and one input channel delivers the AEC reference.
• Integrated features significantly reduce system design complexity, simplify installation, consume less rack space, and
lower system cost.
• Single workflow for configuration using CONSOLE® AI LITE software.
• Supports two different ceiling grid types: 24 IN and 600mm. It incorporates a VESA-mount hole pattern that supports
pole mounting. Hard-ceiling mount adapter kits are also available.
Applications
• Audio conferencing
• Video conferencing Workspaces
• Conference rooms
• Boardrooms
• Courtrooms
• Classrooms
• Telemedicine theaters

2. Physical Installation:
Unpack the BMA 360D and Inspect it carefully. If the shipment shows obvious signs of damage, retain the original
box and packing material for inspection by the carrier. Contact the carrier immediately. ClearOne is not responsible
for product damage incurred during shipment.
Connect Speakers
A good time to connect external speakers is before you install the BMA 360D in the ceiling. With speaker wire (not
included), connect external speakers to the Phoenix Euroblock connectors.
The BMA 360D can be operated as 4 independent 15 Watt amplified channels, or in Bridged mode for 2 channel x 30
Watt configuration.
Important: Please note the following PoE requirements:
• When not utilizing the BMA 360D amplifiers, a 36 Watt PoE+ supply may be used.
• When using the BMA 360D amplifiers, a 90 Watt PoE++ supply must be used.
• ClearOne recommends the following PoE power supply kits:
* ClearOne 36 Watt supply – PN# 910-3200-202
* ClearOne 90 Watt supply – PN# 910-3200-209
Install the BMA 360D with Seismic Cables
You can mount the BMA 360D in a suspended ceiling, held in place by the standard T-bar grid, with additional 1/8”
diameter seismic cables (not included). For safety, ClearOne recommends attachment at the four points shown.

Connect the BMA 360D to Your Network
Connect the BMA 360D to your Dante enabled network and PoE power supply. It is recommended to use ClearOne
certified PoE injectors in-line with your BMA 360D.
Network Configuration
The BMA 360D has a single Network connection which serves both IP Configuration and Dante audio connection
roles. To perform initial configuration, connect both the BMA 360D and your PC to a DHCP enabled network. You
may then discover and configure the BMA 360D using ClearOne’s CONSOLE AI Lite Software. Configuration and
control of the BMA 360D is achieved through ClearOne’s CONSOLE AI Lite software.
Please visit us at https://www.clearone.com/console-ai-lite-configuration-software-0 for CONSOLE AI Lite
downloads and details.
3. PoE Requirements:
Power delivery to the BMA 360D is exclusively via PoE injection. If speakers are not connected to the BMA 360D, a
36 Watt PoE+ supply (PoE 802.3AF) can be used. When one or more speakers are connected to the BMA 360D,
a PoE++ (802.3bt) 90 Watt injector must be used. Note that the detected available PoE power is denoted in
CONSOLE AI Lite in the Admin section. If a 90 Watt supply is detected, the PoE Status will be denoted as “PoE++”

4. Discovery:
CONSOLE AI Lite will discover all ClearOne equipment on the network that can be controlled via CONSOLE AI Lite.
These available devices will be displayed in the Discovered Devices panel:
If multiple BMA 360Ds are present on the network, you can identify each by clicking on the Locate lightbulb icon.
This will cause the corresponding physical BMA 360D’s LED bar to flash green until the Locate icon is clicked again,
or the Locate Timeout period has expired.

5. Dante Configuration:
The Dante IP address and Dante MAC address can be found in CONSOLE AI Lite under the Admin>Device
Information panel.
Audio routing to and from the BMA 360D is done via Dante Controller. Be sure that you have the BMA 360D and at
least one other Dante enabled device, such as a DSP or Dante Virtual Soundcard attached to your Dante network
prior to beginning configuration and routing. Use the Dante Controller software on your computer to verify that your
BMA 360D appears on the Dante network’s device list with the Device Name assigned in the Device Settings panel.
Your BMA 360D is now successfully connected to the Dante network and you can now route audio between your
device and other Dante-enabled devices on the same network efficiently and with high audio quality.

6. Dante Audio Routing:
The BMA 360D Dante input and output channel options are designed to meet a variety of conference and voice lift
needs. The graphic below outlines audio connection options for both microphone audio to the Dante network, as
well as audio from the Dante network delivered to the BMA 360D’s built in 4 channel amplifier.
Use the Dante Controller software to configure audio routing between your device and other Dante-enabled devices
on the network. This software is available from the Audinate webpage: www.audinate.com/products/software/
dante-controller
For detailed audio control and/or voice lift enabled designs, independent feeds from each individual beam are
available via Dante output channels 1-12 from the BMA 360D. These output channels have no gain, mute or volume
control processing and are ideal for interfacing the BMA 360D with a Dante enabled audio processor.
