The Jabra PanaCast SpeakerMic 8900-100 is an expansion speaker and microphone that connects to a PanaCast 55 VBS to extend audio coverage across the whole room. It adds four omnidirectional microphones, a 60mm speaker and on-device volume and mute controls, and it is powered through its Cat6 cable. It suits medium and large meeting rooms, boardrooms and conference rooms in Doha and Lusail. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.
What the SpeakerMic adds to a PanaCast 55 VBS
The SpeakerMic is an accessory, not a standalone camera or codec. It plugs into a Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS and extends that system's audio pickup and playback, so participants at the far end of a long table are heard as clearly as those near the camera. At 136 mm in diameter and 55 mm high, the unit takes up little space on a conference table.
Audio specifications and what they mean for coverage
The unit carries four omnidirectional microphones and a 60 mm speaker. Both the microphones and the speaker are rated from 100 Hz to 18,000 Hz, a range that covers speech with room to spare for wider-band audio. The listed microphone pickup range is 2.3 m (7.55 ft). AI-driven noise reduction on calls, acoustic echo cancellation and full-duplex operation, which allows two-way speech at the same time, all help keep conversations natural in rooms with hard surfaces and air-conditioning noise.
Connections, power and setup
- Connects to the PanaCast 55 VBS over RJ45 using Cat6 cable, which is not included
- Powered through the Cat6 cable at 5V and 3A, with no separate power adapter listed in the box
- RJ45 to USB-C SpeakerMic Adapter supplied
- Cable runs up to 30 m
- Mounting plate and three table adhesive pads supplied
Where it fits in Qatar
This accessory suits rooms where the seating extends beyond what a single camera-based set-up reliably covers:
- A boardroom in a West Bay office tower with a long table, where meetings connect with a team abroad
- A seminar or training room in Education City or Al Rayyan, where a lecturer and remote panellists all need to be heard
- A conference room in a hotel or serviced apartment at The Pearl or Lusail, hosting hybrid events with remote delegates
What to plan before you order
Measure the table length and the distance from the PanaCast 55 VBS to the furthest seat, then check that every seat sits within the 2.3 m pickup range of the SpeakerMic position. Plan the Cat6 route, which can run up to 30 m. The unit is rated for 0°C to 40°C in operation and -20°C to 45°C in storage, so keep it in an air-conditioned room and away from windows that take direct sun. Management is through Jabra Plus and cloud device tools, including Microsoft Teams Admin Center and Zoom Device Management. The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before installation, and we supply against purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, with payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
