Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro Data Sheet

Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro is an intelligent conferencing microphone device designed to capture directional audio from meeting rooms, boardrooms, training rooms and multi-purpose spaces. It supports your modern and flexible workspace layouts with AI adaptive beamforming that intelligently picks up active speakers’ voices while following room dynamics and design changes. Better still, this ceiling microphone allows for rapid setup via zero-touch microphone configuration, scalable IP connectivity, embedded signal processing, and versatile mounting options.

Product overview

The Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro is an AI adaptive ceiling microphone enabling natural, high-fidelity sound for remote participants and supporting an integrated, distraction-free audiovisual experience when connected with Cisco video devices.

High-quality, equitable audio experience

It’s an audio peripheral that provides directional voice capture through beamforming with eight adaptive beams that automatically focus on the active speakers while blocking out other areas of the meeting space to efficiently suppress background noise and reverberation. With a voice pickup coverage of up to a 3.5-meter (11.5 feet) radius, the ceiling microphone offers an effective, high-quality audio solution for a range of meeting rooms and large, multi-purpose spaces. It is unique in leveraging rich visual data originating from Cisco cameras to continually optimize sound pickup accuracy and only focus where sound is coming from.

The Ceiling Microphone Pro supports precise camera tracking and multi-camera scenarios to offer a smooth and engaging far-end visual experience. While the microphone features embedded audio intelligence, it is also augmented with advanced noise removal, mixing, and smart AI processing from the connected Cisco video device to provide crisp sound for remote video meeting participants. Moreover, its deep integration with Cisco video devices and camera solutions allow these to act as one intelligent room ecosystem that helps you enable the ultimate audio and visual experience in your video meetings where distance is no longer a barrier.

Faster to set up and simpler to manage

The Ceiling Microphone Pro is faster to set up than ever before by offering zero-touch, automatic positioning for lightning-fast tuning and reduced deployment effort for your audiovisual and IT teams. It provides single-cable convenience by connecting with the video system in a snap over IP, removes the need for external Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units, and works with multiple ceiling mount options.

Offering remote, unified cloud device management and diagnostics of your Cisco video devices, IP microphones and other peripherals in Control Hub, your IT admins can benefit from the simplicity of having a single management tool instead of multiple third-party management dashboards and design software solutions for the room deployment.

Combined with secure encryption and continuous feature upgrades, it helps to reduce the AV cost and complexity inherent in conventional audio deployments while protecting your meeting room investment.

Flexible and convenient for modern and adaptable workspace designs

Available in Arctic White or Carbon Black, it is a discrete yet powerful audio device designed for unparalleled flexibility and convenience to support modern meeting room designs and adaptable workspace layouts. Adaptive by design, it provides more flexibility to change the room layout and support flexible spaces.

The Ceiling Microphone Pro is designed to support the circular economy while offering flexible mounting options for a variety of common ceiling types to help you achieve a clean look and feel — for medium, everyday meeting rooms through large, divisible spaces. The unobtrusive, out-of-sight solution provides excellent, tamper-free coverage for an everyday meeting room, and can be automatically combined with other Ceiling Microphone Pros to scale and provide an outstanding acoustic experience in large and multi-purpose room scenarios.
