Sennheiser has announced that its TeamConnect bars have been certified for Microsoft Teams.
This certification enables Microsoft Teams users to engage in hybrid meetings that merge Sennheiser's advanced audio quality with 4K Ultra HD video.
The latest expansions to the Sennheiser TeamConnect (TC) series, the TC Bars, are offered in two variants to accommodate different meeting room dimensions. The TeamConnect Bar S is designed with four microphones and two speakers, ideal for smaller spaces, while the TeamConnect Bar M boasts six microphones and four speakers, perfect for larger areas.
“We are so pleased that our TeamConnect Bars have joined the other members of our TeamConnect Family to become Certified for Microsoft Teams,” said Charlie Jones, Sennheiser’s Global Alliance and Partnership Manager.
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. The new TeamConnect Bars represent another robust Sennheiser solution, delivering clear audio, and for the first time, video, to Teams meetings."
Sennheiser suggests the TC Bars are designed for seamless installation, offering a plug-and-play experience with simple USB connectivity. They feature the same integrated beamforming technology in the TC Ceiling solutions, which supports fluid movement and smooth presenter transitions.
The accompanying camera is enhanced with advanced AI functionalities, including auto-framing and person tiling, to optimise the visual experience. The full-range stereo speakers are engineered to produce natural voice quality and exceptional speech clarity for audio.
Moreover, the TC Bars enhance room adaptability and scalability with their built-in Dante port for extra microphones and the option to integrate an external USB camera, accommodating spaces that demand wider coverage. They offer multiple mounting alternatives and can be remotely managed through the Sennheiser Control Cockpit, ensuring easy integration into diverse environments.
“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," added Albert Kooiman, Senior Director, Microsoft Teams Partner Engineering and Certification at Microsoft. "Sennheiser's nearly 80-year legacy in high-quality audio continues with the TeamConnect Bar, seamlessly integrating with Microsoft Teams to enhance meeting experiences.”
