It provides 360° microphone coverage via a 12-element array with a 7.5 ft pickup radius, making it suitable for conference room and collaboration space voice capture. The unit connects via dual Ethernet ports, with one dedicated for PoE power and control, and one for Audio-over-IP traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DM-NAX-POD-MIC delivers full-duplex audio with IEEE 1329 Type 1 compliance, automatic gain control, and dynamic noise suppression, providing clean voice capture in varying acoustic environments. It integrates directly into a DM NAX audio-over-IP distribution network without requiring a separate digital signal processor or analog audio infrastructure. The unit sits on a tabletop and does not support ceiling or wall mounting. Its 12-element microphone array with 360° pickup captures voices from all directions within the coverage radius, reducing the need for directional microphone placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-element 360° microphone array; 7.5 ft (2.3 m) pickup radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoE-powered (IEEE 802.3af Class 0, 12.95 W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-duplex audio; IEEE 1329 Type 1 compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic gain control and dynamic noise suppression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated Audio-over-IP Ethernet port (100\/1000 Mbps) and separate PoE\/control port (100BASE-TX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDHCP network addressing; Crestron DM NAX Intelligent Audio platform compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly textured black plastic enclosure with perforated stainless steel grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTabletop mounting only; die-cast aluminum bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room tabletop microphone for DM NAX Intelligent Audio systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuddle space voice capture connected to a DM NAX audio-over-IP network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom and executive meeting room audio input device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation collaboration space with distributed audio-over-IP infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDM NAX system upgrade from legacy analog audio inputs to IP-based microphone capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e DM-NAX-POD-MIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 in. x 4.70 in. x 4.70 in.
