Cisco TelePresence® Microphones provide a range of audio coverage solutions for both integrated video systems and custom video deployments - either on the table or discreetly through the ceiling (Figures 1 through 3). The microphones are optimized for voice and designed for use in small to large collaboration meeting rooms with state-of-the-art audio quality.

The Cisco® microphone portfolio is made up of the Table Microphone, Ceiling Microphone, and the Microphone Array.

The Cisco Table Microphone is the latest generation microphone product for Cisco video conferencing room systems. It covers all the use cases previously served by the Table Microphone 20 and Table Microphone 60 and is ideal for omnidirectional coverage for small-to-large rooms with fixed tables. Cisco Table Microphone is available in two versions, either with a mini jack or a Euroblock plug. It is also designed to keep tables tidy and clean, as it can be recessed into the table or simply rest on a magnetic table plate.

The Ceiling Microphone is a high-quality, cost-effective directional microphone designed to cover larger meeting spaces, such as training rooms, demo rooms, and auditoriums, with discreet and easy ceiling mounting, while freeing up table space.

The Cisco Microphone Array is a premium directional microphone array designed to provide the Cisco Webex® Room Panorama immersive video collaboration system with crystal-clear, spatial audio. It can capture participant voices from different directions and deliver multiple streams of high-fidelity audio. The Microphone Array recognizes which side of the table the speaker is on. To the far-end participants, it provides a more immersive, natural experience as voices coming from the left of the table are played back remotely from the left speaker, and vice versa. It supports immersive and inclusive executive meeting and conferencing scenarios for in-person and remote participants alike—just as if they were all in the same room. Better still, the Microphone Array supports an IP-based AV setup, allowing for enhanced flexibility and lower deployment costs.
