Sennheiser has announced a new ceiling microphone for mid-sized meeting rooms and lecture or collaboration spaces – TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCC M) – bringing the innovation and features of the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC 2) to a new segment of the meeting space market.
With a coverage area of up to 40m², customers can now bring the power of TCC 2 to a mid-sized meeting space, with a sleek design and at an attractive price-point.
‘With the worldwide success of our TCC 2 for large meeting spaces, we wanted to provide that same experience to mid-size conference rooms and educational spaces,’ says Product Manager of UC Solutions, Jens Werner.
‘Now with TCC M, a whole new meeting category can realise TeamConnect Ceiling Solutions benefits like Trusted Sennheiser Audio Quality, efficient setup, brand agnostic integration and simple management and control. Also, when considering a new design, it was important to us to make a sustainable impact with smaller housing.’
Unlike the TCC 2, TCC M is round, but does offer the same ceiling installation choices – surface mounted, suspended, or flush mounted. These options allow for cable-free tables and flexible furniture arrangement.
TeamConnect Ceiling Solutions employ automatic dynamic beamforming technology and the TruVoicelift function. These offer speech intelligibility while allowing the speaker great flexibility in movement and position. The high-quality built-in electret condenser capsules, which are made in Germany, have already proven themselves in numerous Sennheiser microphones. They ensure perfect speech intelligibility and offer outstanding audio quality by capturing the entire meeting room.
These features enable the microphone to constantly determine the position of the person speaking, without manually needing to configure speaker zones ahead of time. If additional control is needed, priority and exclusion zones can be set in Sennheiser’s Control Cockpit.
The TeamConnect Ceiling Solutions are part of the TeamConnect Family – Sennheiser’s agnostic collaboration portfolio with technology that suits the size and setup of any conference room. To help customers find the most suitable TeamConnect Family solution for a specific meeting room environment, Sennheiser has also announced the first iteration of a new, browser-based room planner tool.
TCC M is expected to begin shipping mid-2023.
