Xilica and Sennheiser integrate technologies for seamless collaboration

The strategic alliance between Xilica and Sennheiser provides an integrated solution that shortens installation time and optimizes sound quality and interconnection in rooms.

The objective of the alliance between Xilica and Sennheiser is the development of a fully integrated solution for meeting rooms that reduces installation time, improve sound quality and optimize collaboration between end users.

New Partnership Will Leverage Both Companies' Audio Products, offering the user great fluidity to deploy adaptive and easy-to-use audio conferencing systems with IT.

The complete solution, that combines the microphone beamforming TeamConnect Ceiling 2 of Sennheiser with the DSP ecosystem, Xilica user interfaces and network endpoints, ensures extraordinary clarity in participant conversations, face-to-face and remote, in hybrid spaces.

With it, end users can flexibly move around the space and customize their presentations to their liking, ensuring they are heard seamlessly.

Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling integration 2 with processors Xilica Solaro and the endpoints of Gio network of the latter will benefit both integrators and end-users, providing easy installation without codes, with support validated in advance.

As part of the alliance, Xilica facilitates functionality TruVoicelift in TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC2) of Sennheiser throughout its Solaro Series of DSPs, whose automatic audio testing and calibration simplify the installation of multiple TCC2 microphones, with the consequent saving of working hours during the assembly of the system.

In addition, with TruVoicelift it is possible to reduce sound, amplify the speaker and create, in the case of participants who intervene from crowded spaces, areas focused on them.

As a result,, in combination with Xilica's patented sound reduction system and HearClear eco cancellation algorithms, this new solution significantly reduces distractions in meetings.

In addition, TeamConnect Ceiling microphones 2 and Solaro processors offer state synchronization Mute for Microsoft Teams and perform actions Mute software-based, how to press a button in the application of this platform so that it is reflected along the chain and back to the LED status indicator of the TCC2.

Similarly,, using Xilica user interfaces allows an action Mute is reflected in Sennheiser systems and back in the application of Microsoft Teams, ensuring full visibility to meeting room users.

“Today, meetings have more remote participants than ever before. Charlie Jones, responsible for global alliances and partnerships at Sennheiser-, and everyone needs to hear each other clearly and without distracting background sounds or interruptions”.

As this manager assures, “TruVoicelift is a perfect solution for conference rooms and auditoriums; allows everyone to clearly hear the lecturer's speech or a student's question. Combining it with Xilica's DSP, the end user will enjoy reliable and high-quality audio, with exceptional room and user control".

The ultra-low profile of Xilica Solaro QR1 DSP “will benefit integrators working in enterprise or educational environments with little rack space, or without it," he adds.. The combination of TCC2 and Solaro QR1 is ideal in those cases, as it does not require special configuration or wiring”.

Another benefit for customers looking for inexposive ways to incorporate audio and UC is that “Xilica Solaro QR1's compact form factor allows the installer to mount the DSP virtually anywhere. It's small, powerful and PoE”, Underlines.

The camera tracking module is planned follow-me is available for Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 in the fourth quarter of 2021, which will allow automated PTZ to be performed using the microphone position signal information, which gives users even more freedom of movement in the meeting room without having to worry about AV infrastructure.

"We are thrilled to partner with Sennheiser to help unleash the power of human connection.") James Knight, Director of Operations of Xilica-. The joint solution offers a system validated in advance, at the service of a high-quality collaborative space, that gives more freedom and flexibility to the end user, while saving integrators long assembly hours”.
