Xilica and Sennheiser have announced the launch of the Xilica x Sennheiser Small Room Kit, a new IT-centric audio bundle that joins the duo’s Medium and Large Room Kits, all of which utilize Xilica audio components with a Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 beamforming microphone array.
Further, the latest addition includes the newly-released Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCCM) that is being launched at the ISE 2023 show at booth #2-Q400. As the name notes, the new Small Room Kit provides a pre-designed audio system for smaller spaces that include meeting rooms, classrooms and collaboration spaces that don’t require the sizeable coverage of a TeamConnect Ceiling 2 but still need flexibility when presenting, reconfiguring room layout or involving multiple speakers simultaneously. The system is based entirely around Cat-5 cable and Power-over-Ethernet.
Comprising a Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium, a Xilica Solaro QR1-UC PoE-powered digital signal processor, two Xilica Sonia C5 Category-cable based in-ceiling loudspeakers, and a Xilica Sonia Amp PoE++ amplifier with integrated network switch, the Small Room Kit requires a single network cable to the ceiling for the full in-room audio system. Using existing network infrastructure, the Xilica Sonia Amp supplies power to the TCCM and relays audio over the Dante protocol back to the system’s Xilica QR1-UC DSP. Validation testing of the kits is completed by Xilica and Sennheiser using their in-house laboratories to help ensure compatibility with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex by Cisco.
Additionally at ISE 2023, Xilica has announced that Sennheiser SpeechLine wireless digital microphone products are now natively supported in its systems, offering additional control options, assurance, and functionality for end-users and system integrators leveraging both product lines.
