Overview

The TeamConnect Ceiling Medium S-B is a black ceiling microphone array with a 27 mm housing height and a 407 mm square footprint. Its 15 condenser capsules, automatic beamforming and PoE/PoE+ power suit meeting rooms, boardrooms and lecture spaces in Doha and Education City where several people speak from different seats. It is certified for Microsoft Teams and sold as a kit, so quote requests should list the full set.

A black ceiling array built for speech in shared rooms

The TeamConnect Ceiling Medium S-B is a ceiling-mounted microphone array in black, with a 27 mm housing height and a 407 mm by 407 mm footprint. It weighs 4.9 kg, so it belongs in a planned ceiling rather than on a shelf. Each unit is supplied as a kit that includes the microphone, a black front plate, a black design housing, mounting hardware and cabling accessories.

Capsules, beamforming and what the numbers mean

Fifteen electret condenser capsules, made in Germany, feed the automatic beamforming that locates and follows the talker. The data lists a frequency response of 100 Hz to 16,000 Hz, a signal-to-noise ratio of 79 dB(A), a dynamic range of 83 dB(A), an equivalent noise level of 15 dB(A) and a maximum sound pressure level of 98 dB SPL. TruVoicelift processing and Intelligent Noise Control support clear speech, and Exclusion and Priority Zones let installers tell the system which parts of the room to ignore or favour. The data does not state a pickup distance, so coverage should be checked during the site survey.

Networking, power and control

The S-B is powered over Ethernet with PoE or PoE+ and draws approximately 8 W, so the ceiling point needs a network drop rather than a separate mains outlet. Single-cable mode and daisy chaining reduce the number of separate cable runs where units are linked. For audio, the unit offers Dante or analog output; its physical audio output is a 3-pin terminal that fits the Phoenix contact MCVW 1.5-3-ST-3.81 connector, which is supplied. The array supports IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control and uses the encrypted Sennheiser Sound Control Protocol API (SSCv2) with TLS 1.2. It is certified for Microsoft Teams. Before first use it must be initialised with Sennheiser Control Cockpit, and audio stays muted until that is complete.

Where the S-B fits in Qatar

A ministry boardroom in Doha with a long central table and video links to regional offices is a typical case: one ceiling array above the table, a Teams-based conferencing setup and a single network point. In Education City, a university seminar room where lecturers move between the whiteboard and the lectern benefits from a ceiling pickup that does not depend on a lapel microphone. A hybrid meeting room in West Bay, where Doha staff join sessions with colleagues abroad, needs consistent audio for every participant on the call. Many Qatari offices work Sunday to Thursday, so agree access windows with facilities staff in advance.

Planning the installation before you order

Ceiling type: choose flush, surface, suspended or VESA mounting and check the plenum and cover plate fit.
Network: confirm PoE or PoE+ availability at the ceiling point and plan single-cable runs where possible.
Environment: the data gives an operating humidity range of 20 to 95% non-condensing but no temperature range, so confirm room conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team.
Layout: at 4.9 kg, the array needs a site survey before drilling to confirm ceiling structure and placement.

SmartRooms Qatar supplies the TeamConnect Ceiling Medium S-B across all eight municipalities of Qatar, with professional installation and free site surveys. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, are accepted.

Questions about TeamConnect Ceiling Medium S-B

Who is the TeamConnect Ceiling Medium S-B designed for?

It suits meeting rooms, boardrooms, classrooms and lecture spaces where several people speak from different seats and a ceiling-mounted pickup is wanted. The black housing and 27 mm profile keep the unit low under the ceiling. In Qatar, ministries, universities and corporate offices in Doha, Lusail and Education City are typical buyers. Each unit is sold as a kit, so quotes should cover the complete set.

How does the black S-B differ from the white S-W?

Both share 15 capsules, a 100 Hz to 16,000 Hz frequency response, PoE powering and a 5-year warranty in the manufacturer data. The S-B comes with a black front plate and black design housing, while the S-W is white. Choose the colour that matches your ceiling and nearby fittings, and request a quote for the matching kit.

Does the S-B need a PoE switch, and how much power does it draw?

Yes. The S-B is PoE and PoE+ powered and draws approximately 8 W, so the ceiling network point must terminate on a switch port that supplies power over Ethernet. Ask your IT team to confirm the switch power budget and PoE or PoE+ availability on the chosen port. In buildings with limited cable risers, single-cable mode and daisy chaining can reduce the number of separate runs.

What mounting options are supported, and what is in the box?

The data lists flush, surface, suspended and VESA mounting. The kit includes a flush mount kit, suspension kit, drilling templates, a Chicago plenum connection box cover plate, a Phoenix connector and a safety rope. Drilling templates help align a flush opening, but a site survey should confirm the ceiling structure before any cutting starts.

Is the TeamConnect Ceiling Medium S-B certified for Microsoft Teams?

Yes, the manufacturer data lists certification for Microsoft Teams, which makes the S-B a practical choice for Teams-based meeting rooms in Qatar. The source data does not cover other conferencing platforms. If your organisation uses a different system, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm compatibility before you request a quote.

Why must the microphone be initialised before use?

The S-B is password protected by default and must be initialised with Sennheiser Control Cockpit before first use. Audio stays muted until initialisation is complete, which the manufacturer describes as an added security measure. Plan in advance who will hold the credentials and when setup takes place, so the system can be handed over to the client's IT team without delay.

What should a boardroom in Doha consider before choosing this model?

A ministry or corporate boardroom in Doha with a long central table and remote attendees on video calls is a typical fit. Confirm table length and seating positions during the free site survey, because the data does not give a pickup distance. The survey should also check the ceiling void, the cable route to the network cabinet and the position of ceiling tiles.

Is it suitable for a university lecture or seminar room in Education City?

It suits rooms where the lecturer moves between the board, the lectern and students. A ceiling array removes the need for hand-held or lapel microphones and keeps the presenter free. When you request a quote, send the room dimensions and ceiling height, and say whether sessions will be recorded or streamed, so the Dante or analog output can be matched to the recording setup.

Can it support a hybrid meeting room in West Bay with colleagues abroad?

The manufacturer positions the S-B for flexible and hybrid meeting spaces, and it is certified for Microsoft Teams. In a West Bay office where staff join calls with colleagues in other offices, the ceiling array picks up people seated around the table without each person needing a handset. During the survey, confirm the seating layout, the number of remote participants and the device running the call.

Can it be installed in hot or dusty areas such as warehouses or open lobbies?

The source data gives an operating relative humidity range of 20 to 95% non-condensing but does not state an operating temperature range. The S-B is a meeting and teaching room product, so do not assume it suits unconditioned areas. Where summer temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius, confirm the exact environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

Is the S-B sold on its own, and what does the kit contain?

The S-B can only be purchased as a kit, not as a single article. The kit contains a TCC M conferencing microphone, a black front plate, a black design housing, a flush mount kit, a Chicago plenum connection box cover plate, drilling templates, a Phoenix connector, a safety rope and a suspension kit. Ask for a quote that lists each item so the installer has everything needed for the chosen mounting type.

How does buying from SmartRooms Qatar work for a government or school order?

Send the room list, quantities and preferred mounting type, and SmartRooms Qatar usually returns a quotation within one working day. Purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat, are accepted, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Delivery covers all eight municipalities of Qatar, and the manufacturer warranty of 5 years applies to the S-B.
