16-Element Beamforming Ceiling Array Microphone with 8 Independent Pickup Zones, Integrated DSP, AES67 Audio Networking, Speaker Tracking, and PoE for Medium to Large Conference Rooms
The Yealink SkySound CM20 (1303095) is a 16-element beamforming ceiling array microphone with 8 independent pickup zones that capture 360-degree audio across medium to large conference rooms with full-duplex clarity. The CM20 integrates a dedicated DSP for on-board noise reduction, echo cancellation, and reverberation suppression, and connects directly to Yealink MVC systems with plug-and-play functionality that eliminates the need for external audio processing hardware.
The CM20 covers up to 30 square meters at premium STIPA 0.78 speech intelligibility from a 2.8-meter ceiling height, extending to 60 square meters at STIPA 0.72 for larger spaces. Eight beam outputs provide precise speaker tracking that integrates with room cameras for automatic framing, while AES67 support enables integration into professional audio networks. PoE powering delivers both data and power through a single Ethernet cable for clean ceiling installations.
Where the CM20 Fits
- Medium to large conference rooms and boardrooms where 16 omnidirectional microphone elements and 8 independent pickup zones provide 360-degree voice capture across the entire table, integrated DSP handles noise reduction and echo cancellation without external processing equipment, and PoE installation requires only a single Ethernet cable from the ceiling to the network switch
- Video conferencing rooms with camera tracking where the CM20's 8 beam outputs feed speaker location data to room cameras for automatic framing and tracking, Yealink MVC system integration provides plug-and-play deployment with no additional DSP hardware, and the beamforming array maintains voice clarity even when participants move around the room
- AES67 and enterprise audio network deployments where AES67 compatibility allows the CM20 to integrate into professional audio distribution systems alongside other network audio devices, centralized management handles multi-room microphone configurations, and the low-profile ceiling mount with magnetic mesh cover maintains a clean architectural aesthetic
What the CM20 Delivers
- 16-Element Beamforming Array with 8 Pickup Zones: Sixteen omnidirectional microphone elements arranged in a ceiling-mount array provide 360-degree voice capture with 8 independent beamforming zones. 120 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response delivers natural speech reproduction across 30 to 60 square meters of coverage depending on room acoustics.
- Integrated DSP with Noise Reduction: On-board digital signal processing provides noise reduction, acoustic echo cancellation, and reverberation suppression without external processing hardware. Plug-and-play with Yealink MVC systems for immediate deployment in video conferencing rooms.
- Speaker Tracking and Camera Integration: Eight beam outputs deliver precise speaker location data for automatic camera tracking and framing in video conferencing environments. The beamforming array follows active speakers as they move, keeping the camera focused on whoever is talking.
- AES67 and PoE Network Audio: AES67 compatibility integrates the CM20 into professional audio networks for enterprise-wide audio distribution and management. PoE powering through a single RJ45 Ethernet connection handles both audio data and power for clean, single-cable ceiling installations.
