In today’s quest for high-impact work and learning environments, mid-sized spaces present a unique challenge. They can either become dynamic hubs of activity or remain underutilised and overlooked. This raises a critical question for organisations: How do you optimise these spaces to ensure they reach their full potential?
The key lies in equipping them with the right tools to enhance flexibility and usability, transforming spaces into high-impact environments that seamlessly scale and provide intuitive, engaging experiences for both in-room and hybrid participants.
High-impact spaces are where Kinly partners Sennheiser and Q-SYS leverage their individual capabilities to excel. With the Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCC M) plugin available alongside TCC 2, EW-DX and MobileConnect in Q-SYS’ Designer Asset Manager, delivering superior audio and transforming underutilised spaces into dynamic, high-impact settings has never been easier.
Addressing the underutilisation of mid-sized spaces
Despite their potential, mid-sized spaces are often overlooked being too small for all-hands gatherings and too large or poorly equipped for focussed hybrid work. This ambiguity leads to wasted resources and suboptimal environments for both in-room and remote participants.
Common issues like inadequate audio coverage, complicated setup changes and challenges in engaging remote participants all contribute to a lack of flexibility. However, these challenges can be effectively addressed by equipping mid-sized spaces with solutions that offer both flexibility and superior performance.
How to leverage the Sennheiser TCC M plugin with Q-SYS control
Transforming mid-sized meeting spaces into high-impact environments requires tools that deliver maximum functionality with minimal complexity. The collaboration between Sennheiser and Q-SYS is a prime example. The TCC M seamlessly integrates with Q-SYS, a powerful audio, video and control platform to enable dynamic, high-impact spaces while simplifying the integration process considerably.
Available in Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager, the TCC M plugin makes integration into the Q-SYS environment straightforward and efficient. It supports LED control, audio levels, output gain, mute control, Sennheiser TruVoicelift and speaker position management directly within the Q-SYS control system. The Q-SYS no-code design process further simplifies the implementation of complex control schemes, eliminating the need for extensive programming knowledge. This empowers users to adapt mid-sized spaces more effectively, making them accessible and scalable for the evolving demands of any organisation.
Enhancing mid-sized spaces
The Sennheiser TCC M microphone is designed to bring versatility and adaptability to mid-sized spaces and learning environments. Leveraging Sennheiser audio and dynamic beamforming technology, the TCC M ensures crystal-clear audio pickup in every meeting, regardless of the room’s configuration. This makes it ideal for spaces that require flexible layouts, allowing for dynamic furniture arrangements without compromising on sound quality.
Additionally, the TCC M features TruVoicelift which naturally amplifies speech within the room to ensure every voice is heard clearly without the need for handheld microphones or other techniques. This intelligent technology allows speakers to move freely and speak effortlessly, bridging sound level loss over distance so even those seated furthest from the speaker experience perfect speech intelligibility.
The Sennheiser TCC M also enables voice-driven camera tracking in mid-sized spaces with Q-SYS. Utilising audio data from the TCC M, Q-SYS Automatic Camera Preset Recall (ACPR) automatically adjusts camera views based on the speaker’s location, ensuring the active speaker is always visible to remote participants. This seamless integration enhances hybrid collaboration, delivering dynamic and professional-grade video experiences without the need for manual camera control.
Real world applications
Organisations and educational institutions are leveraging the integration of the Sennheiser TCC M with Q-SYS to turn underutilised mid-sized spaces into high-impact environments that drive natural collaboration and engagement.
University tutorial rooms:
Flexible room configurations are critical in educational settings. Universities are using the partnership to effortlessly reconfigure tutorial spaces and accommodate different class sizes and formats while ensuring clear communication and seamless video engagement for both in-room and remote students.
Corporate meeting spaces:
Modern workplaces require rooms that can adapt quickly to various meeting types. Companies are employing the TCC M to support flexible furniture layouts and facilitate smooth transitions from small group collaborations to larger, hybrid meetings. This flexibility, combined with superior audio quality, automatic camera tracking and a straightforward user experience, ensures meetings run efficiently without the constant need for IT support.
The impact of Sennheiser and Q-SYS integration
By integrating the Sennheiser TCC M with Q-SYS, organisations can achieve significant, measurable improvements in the functionality and utility of their mid-sized meeting spaces:
- Enhanced flexibility
- Superior audio quality
- Seamless video integration
- Efficient setup and control
Unlocking the full potential of your mid-sized spaces
As organisations and educational institutions continue to seek new and innovative ways to enhance collaboration and productivity, the integration of Sennheiser’s TCC M with Q-SYS offers a powerful solution. By transforming underutilised mid-sized spaces into high-impact hubs of activity, this technology enables you to maximise the value of every room in your facility, regardless of size or configuration.
