The next generation of Sennheiser ceiling microphones, TeamConnect Ceiling is a new ceiling array microphone for voice and video conferences, using automatic adaptive beamforming technology.
Beamforming technology automatically focuses on the voice of a speaker in the room regardless of their position. TeamConnect Ceiling 2 offers versatility and interoperability with support for Dante networks and Power over Ethernet, as well as compatibility with Sennheiser’s Control Cockpit software for remote management, and remote configuration and monitoring via an open media control protocol (API).
‘Ensuring optimum connectivity has been key in the development of TeamConnect Ceiling 2,’ says Sennheiser Portfolio Manager for Business Communication, Jens Werner. ‘This ground-breaking ceiling array microphone comes with Dante and PoE network integration, is enabled for remote control via the Sennheiser Control Cockpit app, or can easily be integrated into other media control systems using the open media control protocol.’
Suited to mid-to-large sized meeting rooms, TeamConnect Ceiling 2 can be installed virtually invisibly into the ceiling to allow flexible usage of a space. As well as freeing tables of cables and mics, it ensures that meeting participants no longer need to adjust their seating arrangements or conversational style to suit the audio set up in the room.
Using 28 omnidirectional microphone capsules integrated within the discrete ceiling array, TeamConnect Ceiling 2 delivers high audio quality that is free from ambient noise. This enhances the conference experience for remote participants through clear speech, which ensures stress-free listening and interaction for more productive meetings.
As well as optimising end-user experience, Sennheiser’s original TeamConnect Ceiling impressed installers and IT managers alike with its flexibility and simplicity. TeamConnect Ceiling 2 takes these advantages further with integration into existing infrastructure is easier thanks to support for the Dante multichannel audio networking standard. With both an analogue audio output and two digital Dante audio outputs that support redundancy mode, TeamConnect Ceiling 2 offers connectivity with any conferencing system and with digital audio networks. Support for the Power over Ethernet standard via the Ethernet port adds to the ease of integration and installation.
TeamConnect Ceiling 2 will also offer support for Sennheiser Control Cockpit, Sennheiser’s network control software. Providing a digital workflow for network-enabled devices from Sennheiser, the professional remote software allows centralised administration, configuration and monitoring of one or multiple ceiling mics within a network. Accessible on any device via a browser, Control Cockpit makes TeamConnect Ceiling 2 installations effortless to manage. For integration into larger media control systems, integrators can make use of Sennheiser’s open media control protocol (API) to offer remote configuration, control and monitoring of the TeamConnect Ceiling 2.
