The room gets wide before it gets long
Twelve people usually means a wider table, and width is harder than length. People at the ends fall outside a fixed camera and outside the pickup pattern of a single microphone.
We plan camera coverage for the seating shape and distribute the microphones across it, then tune the room so the far end hears one conversation rather than a room with hot and quiet spots.
What goes in
- Display sized for twelve people, with a second where the room is wide
- Camera coverage that reaches both ends of the table
- Distributed microphones planned across the seating
- Room audio tuned after installation, in the finished room
- One touch join with a wired option for guests
- Cabling, containment and power run as part of the same project
Microphones go where voices are
Coverage is planned across the seating rather than clustered where the cable run was convenient. Somebody at the end of the table should not have to lean in.
The camera has to find who is speaking
At this width a fixed wide shot turns everybody into a small figure at the end of a table. Speaker framing keeps whoever is talking large enough to read, which is most of what makes a remote participant feel included.
Where audio engineering earns its keep
From eight seats up, intelligibility is an engineered outcome: microphone density, speaker placement and processing are calculated against room dimensions and finishes, then tuned in the built room.
We design for the hybrid reality, the far end must hear the quiet contributor at the end of the table, not just the loud voice beside the microphone.
Common questions
What does a medium team room need for video calls?
Camera coverage that reaches both ends of a wider table, distributed microphones planned across the seating, and audio tuned in the finished room. At six to twelve people, audio is the hard part.
Why is one camera not enough for a large team room?
A single fixed camera at that width either crops the ends of the table or makes everyone too small to read. Wider coverage or a second view fixes what framing alone cannot.
What are ceiling microphones and when are they worth it?
Microphones mounted overhead with coverage planned across the seating, keeping the table clear. They earn their cost when table microphones start picking up paper shuffling and missing the far seats.
Why does the room sound different after furniture arrives?
Glass, tables and soft finishes change what microphones hear, which is why we tune audio in the finished room and not before.
Can the room prioritize whoever is speaking?
Yes. Speaker tracking and framing follow the conversation so remote participants see who is talking rather than a wide empty shot.
One team from design through commissioning
We cover the full project rather than turning up to install somebody else's design. That is what makes the result somebody's responsibility.
Design
We walk the building, work out what it needs to do and produce a design you can actually price against.
Procurement
We source the equipment and stand behind what we specify, so there is one party accountable for it.
Installation
Our own crews on site for cabling, mounting, terminations and containment.
Commissioning
Everything configured, tested and handed over with the records, credentials and documentation.
