18 CORPORATE W ith the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve seen a seismic shift in the ways in which we work. AV tools that before were considered optional suddenly found themselves elevated to essential, becoming crucial components to keeping businesses afloat during an extremely difficult time for the global economy. As the hybrid model continued to evolve in the post-pandemic years, corporate AV has consistently played a pivotal role in keeping teams connected, productive and engaged. Meeting room integration, unified communications, digital signage and touchless collaboration are just some of those tools that are galvanising the modern workplace. With an increasingly busy selection of options to play with, it’s more important than ever for both companies and businesses to stay ahead of the curve. AV FOR ALL “Whether it’s a small huddle room, a mid-size conference space or a large boardroom, our portfolio is designed to support modern hybrid workflows with a

focus on clarity, flexibility and ease of integration,” introduces Inesh Patel, business development manager for business communications at Sennheiser. Rather than offering a scattered array of products for the corporate market, Sennheiser’s flagship conferencing series, the Teamconnect Family, offers an entire ecosystem. From sound to AI-tracking and Microsoft Teams integration, it is built to scale across room sizes and technical requirements. “Within this range, we offer two ceiling microphone solutions: the Teamconnect Ceiling 2 (TCC 2) and the more compact Teamconnect Ceiling Medium (TCC M),” explains Patel. “Both feature our advanced dynamic beamforming technology, which automatically detects and follows the active speaker in the room – allowing for a completely hands-free and clean set-up without visible microphones on the table. The TCC 2 offers extended coverage and a 28-capsule array, ideal for larger or more complex spaces, while the TCC M provides the same beamforming precision in a smaller 15-capsule form factor, perfect for mid-sized to large meeting rooms. Both models are also equipped with Truvoicelift for voice

amplification and support features like exclusion zones, priority zones and camera tracking integration, all easily managed via our Sennheiser Control Cockpit software.” For smaller to mid-sized meeting rooms that require integrated audio and video, Sennheiser offers the Teamconnect Bar (TC Bar) in two sizes – TC Bar S and TC Bar M. “These all-in-one UC solutions combine beamforming microphones, high-quality speakers and a built-in 4K camera with AI-driven features like auto framing and person-tiling,” details Patel. “The bars offer plug-and-play USB connectivity for fast deployment, along with Dante support for more advanced AV set-ups. They’re certified for platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, making them an ideal solution for organisations seeking a professional yet user-friendly conferencing experience.” Complementing their Teamconnect systems is the Speechline Digital Wireless (SL DW) family – a good choice for speech in corporate, education and government environments. “SL DW includes various transmitters – handheld, lavalier, boundary mic and table stand options – and is optimised for spoken
