Accent Micro Technologies Inc. (AMTI) is an innovative business solutions provider focused on corporate communications and digital transformation, leveraging advanced technology to optimize collaboration and efficiency.
The solution
Accent Micro Technologies Inc. (AMTI)’s boardroom communications completed a successful installation of Sennheiser’s TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC 2) units, engineered to meet the demands of a modern, multi-functional meeting space. Faced with challenges such as intrusive ambient noise from both air-conditioning systems and nearby traffic, and the need to capture even the softest-spoken words during high-level discussions, AMTI embraced this advanced audio solution to redefine its collaborative environment. The boardroom, which serves both as a venue for executive board meetings and as a dynamic Proof of Concept platform, needed more than just high-quality sound, it required a system that could integrate seamlessly with advanced control technologies. Enhanced by the cutting-edge TruVoicelift feature, the TCC 2 units ensure that every word is transmitted with exceptional clarity. To complement this auditory precision, the solution was further streamlined through integration with Crestron Sightline, offering an intuitive and responsive control interface that simplifies real-time adjustments and automation. Additional support from a Biamp DSP paired with TesiraFORTÉ helped fine-tune the room’s acoustics, delivering a balanced and optimized audio experience. Dubbed the “10-second room” for its rapid automation and wireless presentation capabilities, this comprehensive upgrade has set a new benchmark in corporate communication, driving digital transformation, and enhancing collaboration across all levels.
