Sennheiser has secured Certified for Microsoft Teams status for its TeamConnect Bars (TC Bars), supporting hybrid meetings with high-quality Sennheiser audio and 4K Ultra HD video.
The latest additions to the Sennheiser TeamConnect (TC) Family, TC Bars are available in two models to suit different meeting room sizes – the TeamConnect Bar S, featuring four microphones and two speakers, and the TeamConnect Bar M, equipped with six microphones and four loudspeakers.
‘Certification for Teams has become essential for our meeting solutions, as we consistently receive feedback on the benefits our customers experience using our products in Microsoft Teams Rooms,’ says Sennheiser Global Alliance and Partnership Manager, Charlie Jones. ‘The new TeamConnect Bars represent another robust Sennheiser solution, delivering clear audio, and for the first time, video, to Teams meetings.’
‘As we continue to recognise the essential role of audio clarity in today’s dynamic meeting environments, we are pleased to welcome Sennheiser’s TeamConnect Bars into the Microsoft Teams ecosystem,’ says Microsoft Senior Director of Microsoft Teams Partner Engineering and Certification, Albert Kooiman. ‘Sennheiser’s nearly 80-year legacy in high-quality audio continues with the TeamConnect Bar, seamlessly integrating with Microsoft Teams to enhance meeting experiences.’
TC Bars are plug-and-play devices, giving users a quick start via USB. Integrated beamforming technology, as found in Sennheiser’s TC Ceiling solutions, enables freedom of movement and seamless transitions between presenters, complemented by a camera with advanced AI features, such as auto-framing and person tiling. The full-range stereo speakers ensure natural speech and outstanding intelligibility.
Additionally, TC Bars offer flexible and scalable room set-ups with an onboard Dante port for extension mics and an option to add an external USB camera, catering for rooms requiring broader coverage. Multiple mounting options and remote management via Sennheiser Control Cockpit simplify integration into any space.
Sennheiser continues to develop solutions that are compatible with Microsoft Teams, aiming to provide users with exceptional meeting experiences. The TC Bars are now featured on the Microsoft Showcase Page.
