What the CT-W ceiling array is

The TeamConnect Ceiling Medium CT-W is the white, ceiling-tile edition of Sennheiser's medium ceiling microphone array. Its square housing measures 590.8 mm on each side and stands 45.8 mm high, so it sits flat in the ceiling and keeps the room tidy. The unit weighs 4.1 kg. The kit includes a ceiling tile plate, a flush mount kit, a Phoenix connector, a suspension kit and a safety rope, so the unit can be secured overhead during installation.

Audio figures that matter for speech

Speech clarity depends on how a microphone array handles level and background noise. The published figures for this model are listed below.

Frequency response: 100 Hz to 16,000 Hz
Signal-to-noise ratio: 79 dB(A)
Dynamic range: 83 dB(A)
Equivalent noise level: 15 dB(A)
Maximum sound pressure level: 98 dB SPL
Sensitivity: 0 dBV/Pa (1020 mV/Pa)

A higher signal-to-noise figure means less electrical hiss under quiet speech, which matters in large boardrooms where people at the far end of the table speak softly. The array uses 15 electret condenser capsules made in Germany, with adaptive beamforming that directs pickup toward active talkers. Intelligent Noise Control is also part of the processing.

Connectivity, power and setup

The CT-W is powered over PoE or PoE+, draws approximately 8 W and supports daisy chaining. Single-cable mode is designed to reduce the cabling needed in a ceiling void. Audio leaves the unit either as Dante or through a 3-pin analog terminal that fits the Phoenix connector supplied in the box. Security features include IEEE 802.1x network authentication and an encrypted Sennheiser Sound Control Protocol API (SSCv2) using TLS 1.2.

Before first use, the unit must be initialised with Sennheiser Control Cockpit. It is password protected by default, and audio stays muted until initialisation is complete. Assign this step to your IT technician during commissioning so the room is not handed over with the microphones silent.

Where it fits in Qatar

A ministry meeting room in Msheireb that holds hybrid sessions with colleagues in other cities benefits from the Microsoft Teams certification and the muted-until-set-up security step, which keeps the room controlled from day one.

A lecture room in Education City with a suspended ceiling can cover questions from students across the floor while keeping the pickup out of sight, without handheld microphones being passed around.

A boardroom in West Bay with a camera at the far wall can use the array's talker position data for camera control, provided the camera model is supported. Confirm this before ordering.

What to plan before ordering

Measure the ceiling opening and void depth against 590.8 mm and 45.8 mm.
Check that a PoE or PoE+ port is available and that the switch budget covers about 8 W per unit.
Confirm whether your audio system needs Dante or analog output.
Ask your IT team about IEEE 802.1x authentication on the network.
Confirm the operating environment. The source data lists a humidity range of 20 to 95% non-condensing but no operating temperature, so check ceiling spaces that run hot or dusty with the SmartRooms Qatar team.

SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys before installation, professional installation, and delivery to all 8 municipalities of Qatar. Purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, are accepted. Request a quote and the SmartRooms Qatar team will usually return a quotation within one working day.

Questions about TeamConnect Ceiling Medium CT-W

What is the TeamConnect Ceiling Medium CT-W used for?

It is a ceiling microphone array for meeting rooms, classrooms and lecture spaces where speech must be picked up without visible desk microphones. The white CT-W is the ceiling-tile edition, with a 590.8 mm square housing and a 45.8 mm height. It uses adaptive beamforming and 15 electret condenser capsules, and it is certified for Microsoft Teams. It suits hybrid rooms in Doha and Lusail where staff join calls with colleagues abroad.

How does the CT-W differ from the CT-W 2FT?

The CT-W measures 590.8 mm square and weighs 4,100 g, while the CT-W 2FT measures 606.5 mm square and weighs 4,300 g. Both are white, 45.8 mm high, and supplied with the same core items: ceiling tile plate, flush mount kit, Phoenix connector, safety rope and suspension kit. Measure your ceiling opening first. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm which size fits before you order.

Does the CT-W need PoE, and how much power does it draw?

Yes. The CT-W is PoE and PoE+ powered and supports single and daisy chaining, with power consumption of approximately 8 W. A PoE or PoE+ switch port can supply the unit, so a separate power run to the ceiling is not required. When fitting several units in one room or floor, your IT team should confirm the switch PoE budget and port allocation before the installer arrives.

Can the CT-W connect to Dante or analog audio systems?

The CT-W offers either Dante or analog output. The analog connection uses a 3-pin terminal that fits the Phoenix connector supplied in the box. Confirm which output your audio system needs before ordering, because it determines the cabling and interface you use. Dante carries audio over your network, so the choice affects your switch and network planning. State your audio layout when requesting a quote.

Is the CT-W certified for Microsoft Teams?

Yes. The source data lists the CT-W as certified for Microsoft Teams. For a Qatar meeting room, this matters when staff in Doha join calls with colleagues abroad and need the room microphones to work correctly with the platform. The certification applies to the array itself, so confirm the rest of your conferencing room design, including camera and display, with the SmartRooms Qatar team.

Does the CT-W need setup before it can be used?

Yes. The unit is password protected by default and must be initialised with Sennheiser Control Cockpit before first use. Audio stays muted until initialisation is complete, which is a deliberate security measure. Plan this step during commissioning with your IT technician, and store the access details in your asset register so the room can be managed after handover.

Will the CT-W fit a suspended ceiling in an office fit-out in Lusail?

A Lusail office fit-out with a suspended ceiling needs an opening that matches the unit. The CT-W is 590.8 mm by 590.8 mm and 45.8 mm high, and it weighs 4,100 g. The kit includes a ceiling tile plate, flush mount kit, suspension kit and safety rope for securing the unit. Before ordering, check the ceiling void depth and the position of cable trays and ducts. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to confirm placement.

Can the CT-W steer a camera in a West Bay boardroom?

The array supports camera control using talker position data, so a supported camera can frame the person speaking. Whether your camera works with it depends on the model and its control protocol, so confirm compatibility before ordering. The source data also references a third-party API for Sennheiser products. In a West Bay boardroom with a camera on the far wall, this can help the room follow speakers without a manual camera operator.

Is the CT-W suitable for a university lecture room in Education City?

A lecture room in Education City with a suspended ceiling can use this array to capture questions from the floor without handheld microphones. It lists a frequency response of 100 Hz to 16,000 Hz and a maximum sound pressure level of 98 dB SPL. Confirm the room's audio routing, the number of seats to cover and the output type. Larger or irregular rooms are best assessed during the free site survey.

Can a government ministry buy the CT-W through an LPO or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. A ministry meeting room upgrade may involve several units, so list the quantity, the output type and the kit contents in your request for a quotation. Each unit is supplied as a kit containing the items listed in the product details.

Is the CT-W sold as a single item or as a kit?

The source data states that the TeamConnect Ceiling Medium series can only be purchased as a kit, not as a single article. The CT-W kit includes the TCC M conferencing microphone, a ceiling tile plate, a flush mount kit, a Phoenix connector, a safety rope and a suspension kit. Request a quote for the number of kits your rooms need, and tell us if you need the 2FT size instead.

Can the CT-W be installed in a hot, dusty hotel ballroom ceiling in Doha?

The source data gives an operating relative humidity range of 20 to 95%, non-condensing, but does not list an operating temperature. Before placing the unit in a ballroom ceiling void in Doha, where summer heat can be intense, confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team. A site survey helps check airflow, dust exposure and humidity. Do not install the unit in conditions outside the listed humidity range.
