It suits boardrooms, lecture halls and training rooms across Doha. Request a quote for your project.

What the DS-QAPMCU128 does in a meeting room

The Hikvision DS-QAPMCU128 is a ceiling-mounted microphone array built around 128 MEMS microphones. Instead of relying on a single pickup point on a table, the array listens across the whole room, so people seated at the far end of a long boardroom can be heard clearly on a remote call. It is a network device: audio travels over Ethernet, and the unit can take its power from the same cable.

The specifications that matter for planning

Two pickup radii are specified: 5 metres for video conference pickup and 3 metres for sound reinforcement. The array is divided into eight audio collection areas. Each area can be adjusted and given a priority, so the system can favour the seats where people actually speak. Audio is sampled at 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution, and the rated frequency response is 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Signal: SNR of 68 dB, acoustic overload point of 130 dBSPL and total harmonic distortion below 1%.
Processing: intelligent noise reduction, AEC, AFC, AGC, EQ, compression, noise gate, mixing, delay and beam control.
Network: AES67 support, RTP, RTSP and NTP, with TLS 1.2/1.3 and HTTPS for secured management, through one 1000 M RJ45 port.
Analog: one LINE IN and two LINE OUT terminals for connecting to existing audio systems.

Where it fits in Qatar

A ministry meeting room in Msheireb often hosts Arabic and English speakers taking turns around one long table. A ceiling array with eight adjustable zones lets the audio team concentrate pickup on the seating positions that matter, which helps remote participants in other cities follow the discussion. In a lecture theatre at Education City, the LINE OUT connections can feed an existing amplified sound system, so lecturers and remote guests are heard without replacing the whole installation. A company training room in the Industrial Area or a hotel meeting room in The Pearl can use the same approach for hybrid sessions.

What to plan before ordering

Confirm the mounting method first. The unit is designed for a 600 mm by 600 mm suspended ceiling, or it can be pendant-mounted where the wall thickness is at least 60 mm. The housing measures 594.0 mm by 594.0 mm by 55.4 mm and weighs approximately 9.2 kg with packaging. The crossbar bracket, safety rope and lifting rope are included. The rated operating range of -10 °C to 50 °C is useful context for ceiling voids in Qatar, where summer temperatures can exceed 45 °C, so confirm void conditions during the free site survey. Setup is done with the Audio Assistant Tool on a Windows computer, and Windows 10 is recommended.

Request a quote for the DS-QAPMCU128 and our team will confirm the configuration, accessories and delivery to any of Qatar's eight municipalities. Purchase orders, LPOs and Monaqasat tender submissions are supported.

Questions about DS-QAPMCU128

What is the DS-QAPMCU128 designed for?

It is a ceiling microphone array for meeting and conference rooms where people need to be heard clearly on video calls or through a sound system. With 128 microphones and a 5-metre video conference pickup radius, it suits boardrooms, training rooms and lecture halls where speakers move around the room rather than sitting at one fixed microphone.

How far does the array pick up speech?

The specified video conference pickup radius is 5 metres, and the sound reinforcement pickup radius is 3 metres. Actual coverage depends on room size, ceiling height and furniture layout, so the placement should be confirmed during a free site survey by the SmartRooms Qatar team before the unit is fixed.

Can it be installed in a standard suspended ceiling?

Yes. The unit is designed for a 600 mm by 600 mm suspended ceiling, and its housing measures 594.0 mm by 594.0 mm by 55.4 mm. The crossbar bracket, safety rope and lifting rope are included, which helps the installer secure it to the ceiling structure.

What if my ceiling has no suitable grid? Can it hang from a pendant?

Pendant mounting is an option where the wall thickness is at least 60 mm. This is useful in high-ceiling rooms such as lecture halls or atriums. Ask for a quotation and a site survey first, so the mounting method, safety ropes and access for the installer can be planned before the unit arrives.

How is it powered and cabled?

The unit can be powered over its network cable using PoE, or from a DC 12 V, 2 A supply with a maximum draw of 24 W. Audio and control run over one RJ45 1000 M Ethernet port, which reduces the cabling needed in a ceiling void compared with separate analog wiring.

Which audio standards and protocols does it support?

It supports AES67 for network audio transmission, along with RTP, RTSP, RTCP, NTP and IEEE1588 for timing. The manufacturer states that later versions will add AES67 third-party compatibility, so check the planned integration with your existing audio network before ordering.

Can it work with an existing analog sound system?

Yes. It has one LINE IN and two LINE OUT terminals using green phoenix connectors, so it can connect to analog amplifiers or mixers. This suits a lecture theatre at Education City where the current sound reinforcement system should stay in place while the new array is added.

What software and computer do I need to set it up?

Device activation, network settings, routing and parameter setup are carried out with the Audio Assistant Tool. Windows 10 is recommended, with Windows 7, 8.1 and 11 listed as compatible. The recommended specification includes an Intel i3-9100 or better, 4 GB RAM and a 1920 × 1080 display.

How does the eight-zone design help in a long boardroom in West Bay?

A long boardroom often has speakers at one end and the chair at the other. The eight adjustable collection areas can be given priorities, so the system focuses on the seats most likely to speak. This helps remote participants in Europe or Asia hear the people closest to the screen and the head of the table clearly.

Is it suitable for a lecture hall at Education City?

It suits lecture halls where a lecturer moves across the front and students ask questions from the seats. Speech pickup is specified at 3 metres for reinforcement and 5 metres for video conferencing, so the array should be planned to cover the teaching area. A site survey can confirm the best position relative to the projector and seating.

How does it handle security on a government network in Msheireb?

The device supports password protection with complex passwords, HTTPS encryption, basic and digest authentication for HTTP and HTTPS, a security audit log and TLS 1.2 or 1.3. Your IT team should still set the network segment and credentials during installation, and SmartRooms Qatar can coordinate that as part of the project.

Can an LPO cover several units for a school or ministry?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders, LPOs and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and delivers to all eight municipalities. Request a quote listing the number of rooms and their ceiling types, so the quotation can cover each unit, its accessories and professional installation, with the manufacturer's warranty applying.
