FAQ
Detailed Overview
The Omni-Microphone is a critical component for any indoor positioning system requiring omnidirectional ultrasonic reception. Unlike directional microphones that suffer from signal loss when beacons rotate, this device maintains consistent 360-degree horizontal and vertical coverage—essential for autonomous mobile robots, warehouse forklifts, and indoor drones operating in dynamic environments. The IP67 protection rating ensures durability against dust and moisture in industrial settings. Its 1-meter soft cable with 1.5mm diameter provides flexible installation routing, while the standardized 4x4 pin board connector integrates seamlessly with Marvelmind Super-Beacon boards. For specialized deployments, custom versions support direct Mini-RX connections or Industrial Super-Beacon/Industrial-RX integration. This microphone eliminates common indoor positioning problems caused by directional sensitivity, enabling reliable RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems) and indoor navigation regardless of equipment orientation or facility layout. Perfect for warehouse automation, indoor robot fleets, and autonomous forklift tracking applications.
