TeamConnect Ceiling Medium F-W

What the TeamConnect Ceiling Medium F-W does

The TeamConnect Ceiling Medium F-W, article number 700170, is a ceiling microphone array with a white finish, designed to sit flush with the ceiling. Instead of placing a microphone on every table, one unit covers the room. Its adaptive beamforming follows the active talker and concentrates pickup on whoever is speaking, which keeps remote participants hearing clear speech when several people sit around the table. Each unit uses 15 electret condenser capsules made in Germany.

The specifications that shape the design

Planners need the numbers before speaking to a contractor. The F-W has a frequency response from 100 Hz to 16,000 Hz, a signal-to-noise ratio of 79 dB(A), a dynamic range above 83 dB(A) and an equivalent noise level of 15 dB(A). Maximum sound pressure level is 98 dB SPL, sensitivity is 0 dBV/Pa (1020 mV/Pa), and power draw is approximately 8 W.

• Housing: 407 mm by 407 mm, 46 mm high, weighing 4,900 g.
• Finish: white front plate and white product colour.
• Connection: wired, with a 1 x 3-pin audio output terminal.
• Warranty: five years, as listed by the manufacturer.

Power, control and network security

The F-W is PoE and PoE+ powered and supports single-cable mode, so one network cable carries both connection and power. Units can be daisy-chained, which reduces cable runs in long rooms. Exclusion and priority zones let administrators decide which parts of the room are picked up or favoured, and talker position data can drive camera control. For network teams, the array supports IEEE 802.1x and an encrypted Sennheiser Sound Control Protocol API using TLS 1.2. The unit is password protected by default and must be initialised with Sennheiser Control Cockpit before first use, and audio stays muted until initialisation is complete.

Where it fits in Qatar

A boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb hosting hybrid board sessions with directors joining from abroad is a typical match. The array sits in the ceiling above the table, so the room keeps a clean look while every participant hears each speaker. A lecture or seminar room in Education City or Lusail, where the lecturer moves around the room, benefits from beamforming that tracks the talker rather than a fixed pickup point. A ministry or authority meeting room, where discussions move between Arabic and English and teams in Doha meet colleagues overseas, gains clear audio without passing handheld units around the table.

What to plan before ordering

The F-W is sold only as a kit. The box includes the TCC M conferencing microphone, a white front plate, flush mount kit, Chicago plenum connection box cover plate, drilling templates, Phoenix connector, safety rope and suspension kit. Check the ceiling void, cable route and connection point before work starts. The source also lists a Dante or analog output option alongside the 3-pin terminal, so confirm the output your audio system needs with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering. No operating temperature range is given, so confirm the ceiling environment, especially unconditioned voids in summer. The listed operating relative humidity is 20 to 95 percent, non-condensing.

SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, professional installation and delivery to all eight municipalities of Qatar. Purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders are accepted, including for schools or several rooms at once. Request a quote and we will confirm the kit, the audio output and the installation plan for your room.
