As hybrid workplaces evolve, Q-SYS continues to set the standard in delivering advanced, intelligent, and adaptable AV solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms of all shapes and sizes. One room type gaining momentum is the Signature Microsoft Teams Room—designed to deliver a fully inclusive meeting experience with advanced features like spatial audio.  

Let’s explore how you can build Signature Microsoft Teams Rooms with spatial audio leveraging an expanded portfolio Q-SYS certified for Microsoft Teams devices including partner integrations and PoE options.  

First, a quick overview of spatial audio. Spatial audio allows voices to originate from their relative positions on the display, fostering a more natural and engaging environment that enhances equity for both in-room and remote participants.

The inaugural spatial audio package included any Teams-certified Q-SYS Core processor, SPA Series amplifiers, AcousticDesign Series surface-mount loudspeakers, and the Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC 2) beamforming microphone array. In recent months, this range has expanded to make spatial audio available across more configurations. The certification of the PoE-powered NL-SB42 loudspeaker and NM-T1 microphones now offers a fully PoE solution suitable for medium to large rooms. Additionally, through our partnership with Shure, the MXA920 ceiling array microphone has been certified alongside Q-SYS and spatial audio, providing another high-impact option.

All components are certified for seamless interoperability, ensuring clear audio reproduction, efficient noise cancellation, and stereo output—all managed through Q-SYS Designer Software.

These new certifications join the Q-SYS portfolio of certified for Teams solutions including loudspeakers, cameras, processors, and AI accelerators making it easier than ever to tailor experiences to your organization’s unique needs. Q-SYS remains committed to enhancing the Microsoft Teams Rooms experience by continuously delivering certified hardware and innovative partner integrations.
