The new Xilica x Sennheiser Medium Room Kit.

Xilica & Sennheiser Launch Hybrid Conferencing Kits

In-ceiling systems for medium and large collaboration spaces bring PoE-powered Xilica and Sennheiser conferencing products together with all components connected over CatX network cable.

Xilica and Sennheiser have announced the launch of two new pre-validated, plug-and-play Room Kits for medium and large collaboration spaces, bringing PoE-powered Xilica and Sennheiser audio conferencing products together in in-ceiling systems with all components connected over CatX network cable.

The Medium Room Kit includes a Xilica Solaro QR1-UC DSP, Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone, PoE+-enabled Xilica Sonia amp and two Sonia C5 in-ceiling loudspeakers. The Large Room Kit includes all of the same components along with four more Sonia C5 loudspeakers and a Xilica XTouch 80 touchscreen for in-room control.

“Extending our partnership with Sennheiser into room bundles is an ideal way to speed up design and deployment of cutting-edge collaboration spaces,” says Shaun Robinson, VP product management, Xilica. “The Xilica x Sennheiser Room Kits are true ceiling-installed systems that require no in-room equipment racks or mains power and work over existing network infrastructure. Their scalable, consistent design enables easy deployment in hundreds of rooms across a campus with the same level of quality but without time-consuming programming and installation.”

Utilizing algorithmic processing from both vendors, Xilica HearClear acoustic echo cancellation and Sennheiser’s TruVoicelift are designed to functionality work together to lift voice intelligibility, reduce audio artifacts, and eliminate room and acoustic distractions that limit clear communication. Xilica Solaro QR1-UC DSPs include a 2 x 2 USB audio interface that offers volume and mute status sync for Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.

“These Xilica and Sennheiser bundles make it quick and easy to audio-enable meeting rooms in one building or throughout an entire enterprise,” explains Ira M. Weinstein, managing partner at analyst firm Recon Research. “And the inclusion of Xilica’s Teams- and Zoom-friendly DSP means these kits have the processing power and intelligence to handle some of the more acoustically challenging spaces.”

“Sennheiser has worked closely with Xilica to bundle these pre-validated products for today’s enterprise and education needs,” says Charlie Jones, global Alliance and partnerships manager for Sennheiser. “No matter the size or shape of room, combining the flexibility of these two product ranges with commonly-available Category cable, easy setup, and assured compatibility allows everyone’s voice to be heard in record time – from the front of the conference room to the back of the lecture theater.”
