Sennheiser and Tencent Meeting deliver the ultimate hybrid meeting experience
JANUARY 24, 2023 - Sennheiser, the first choice for advanced audio technology that makes collaboration and learning easier, today announced that its TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC2) microphone is now certified for Tencent Meeting. With this certification, TCC2 also officially becomes a member of Tencent Meeting's hardware certification ecosystem.
The certified Sennheiser and Tencent Meeting communications system solutions include TCC2, Q-SYS Core 110f, SPA Series amplifier, and an AcousticDesign Series loudspeaker. The partnership between Sennheiser and Tencent Meeting delivers a seamless, high-quality complete audio experience for hybrid office scenarios.
Thanks to its state-of-the-art audio technology and ease of installation, TCC2 pairs perfectly with Tencent Meeting Rooms to meet the requirements of various conference room settings, regardless of the space environment or configuration. TCC2's patented adaptive beamforming technology automatically locates the speaker and reliably follows their voice, allowing them to move freely without having to carry or pass a microphone. With its TruVoicelift functionality, TCC2 significantly enhances the speaker's audio effect, reduces background noise, and improves speech intelligibility. Additionally, the Sennheiser Control Cockpit app allows the TCC2 to be controlled and managed at any node in the enterprise intranet easily and quickly, making it more user friendly to operate the whole audio system.
Tencent Meeting, with millions of registered users, a strong market share and global brand awareness, is one of the most influential video communications platforms in China. Its hardware certification standards are formulated by Tencent Ethereal Audio Lab. All hardware to be certified must undergo rigorous certification tests, including nearly 50 tests and over 200 test indicators, in terms of audio, video, system interaction, and SDK.
The certified communications system solutions include Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone, Q-SYS Core 110f, SPA Series amplifier, and AcousticDesign Series loudspeaker.
Following the Tencent Meeting hardware certification, TCC2 is now compatible with Tencent Meeting and Tencent Meeting Rooms. The advanced TCC2 provides Tencent Meeting's business users with ultimate support in conference audio experience, in terms of stability, reliable audio pickup and ease of installation. Meanwhile, by partnering with Tencent Meeting, Sennheiser gets closer to users' needs and provides vital support in more hybrid working and teaching scenarios.
TCC2's patented adaptive beamforming technology automatically locates the speaker and reliably follows their voice, allowing them to move freely. TCC2 is designed for a completely touchless microphone solution, which is especially important under current pandemic situation.
