TeamConnect Ceiling 2 Black

What the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 Black is

The TeamConnect Ceiling 2 Black (article 509161) is a square ceiling microphone array finished in black. Measuring 590 x 590 x 43 mm and weighing 5.67 kg, it is built to take the place of a ceiling tile, so the room keeps a clean ceiling and the table stays free of visible microphones. It belongs to the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 series and is intended for larger meeting rooms, lecture spaces and collaboration areas where several people speak from different positions.

Audio facts that matter for speech pickup

The array covers 160 Hz to 18,000 Hz and reports a signal-to-noise ratio of 83 dB(A), a dynamic range of 93 dB(A) and an equivalent noise level of 11 dB(A). Its maximum sound pressure level is 104 dB SPL, and latency is 4 ms. Inside are 28 electret condenser capsules made in Germany. Patented automatic dynamic beamforming and the TruVoicelift feature are the two named functions behind its pickup, and they matter most when remote participants need to hear the people in the room rather than the room itself.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations suit this model well:

• A boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb where executives join calls with colleagues in Europe or Asia, and the table must stay uncluttered by cables.
• A university lecture room in Education City where the lecturer moves at the front and students speak from the back. The array supports exclusion zones and a priority zone, which helps plan which parts of the room the pickup should favour.
• A government ministry meeting room in Doha where the Microsoft Teams or Zoom setup must stay fixed and tidy for sessions held from Sunday to Thursday.

Connectivity, certifications and what to check before ordering

Connection is wired. The Black variant's listed audio output is one 3-pin terminal that fits the Phoenix MCVW 1.5-3-ST-3.81 connector, and that connector is included in the box. PoE is among the listed features, with maximum power consumption of 8.8 W. The unit is certified for MS Teams, Zoom, DingTalk and Tencent, and it supports camera control using talker position data and IEEE 802.1x. The White variant's sheet lists two Dante RJ-45 ports, which the Black sheet does not, so compare the two if your network needs Dante.

The operating humidity range is 20 to 95 percent, non-condensing. The source data does not list an operating temperature range, so confirm the ceiling void and room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team, especially where summer heat exceeds 45°C. Plan the ceiling grid, check its load capacity and map the cable route. A free site survey is the simplest way to do this before ordering several units for a school, university or government building.
