Stem Ceiling

How Shure ceiling array microphones helped BANDAI SPIRITS create clearer, more natural communication across flexible meeting rooms and large collaboration spaces. 

Ceiling microphones have developed dramatically over the past decade to increase the quality of audio pickup and deliver a seamless conferencing experience. Ceiling array microphones can be customized to pick up different zones of coverage to isolate singular or groups of speakers. For small to medium-sized rooms, ceiling speakerphones can even act as standalone conferencing devices, delivering all of the audio your room needs while remaining out of sight.

By adding or diversifying UC services to include videoconferencing solutions, MSPs can generate new revenue streams and resolve more of clients’ tech challenges.

The growth in UC-enabled meeting spaces and supporting infrastructure moving to managed services have made AV competency a critical skill for the IT channel.

With a basic understanding of acoustics and room design, MSPs can rectify audio issues without having to outsource to specialists.

As clients demand more effective hybrid work experiences, AV Managed Services offer a real advantage for IT solution providers to stand-out from the crowd.

The Stem Ecosystem enables IT providers to expand their UC offering and deliver professional audio services without requiring specialized capabilities or outsourcing.

In years past, the limitations of available technology gave you little choice in what kinds of devices could be used during conference calls. Users were usually stuck huddling around a single speakerphone, their conversations consistently disrupted by poorly optimized audio. With recent advances, the selection of available devices has expanded quite a bit, revolutionizing telecommunications by giving users access to conference audio devices that can be mounted on their tables, walls, and even ceilings.

Creating a DIY conference room isn’t as easy as buying a microphone and some speakers and plopping them willy-nilly onto the conference room table and calling it a day. There’s a reason it takes weeks for professional AV teams to create fully integrated conference rooms – each room is different, and the materials, size, and layout can significantly affect sound quality during a call.

Designing conference rooms with new technologies like video conferencing in mind can be tough, especially when you also need to factor in the aesthetic presentation of the room and the audio equipment needed to effectively cover the room. To make things easy on you, we’ve created a number of different sample layouts for your conference rooms that make the audio solution easy with the Stem Ecosystem.
