Sennheiser held a launch event in Mumbai, India, on April 19 to announce the TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker. It is an omnidirectional speaker intended for mid-sized Microsoft Teams Rooms (meetings) with up to 10 participants, whether present in the room or joined remotely.

TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker specifications and features

The TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker measures 128.3 x 56.3mm in dimensions and weighs 469 grams. It is equipped with an omnidirectional neodymium speaker and 7 beamforming microphones on the top, which covers a radius of 3.5cm. The topside of the device also features a capacitive mute button, which allows click-free muting and unmuting during the meeting. The LED ring available on the device can indicate whether the device is on mute or unmuted.

In order to use it, users need to go carry out a one-time installation process. Users need to establish a connection between TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker and the Microsoft Teams Rooms console using the bundled Power & Data box and a USB-C port. Users are also required to connect a power cable to the Power & Data box. Once the initial setup is done, it does not require other devices like a laptop or tablet for it to work.

The bundled screw mount or adhesive pad can be used to securely attach to the surface. The meeting can be controlled through the console and hands-free using Microsoft’s Cortana voice assistant. The intelligent speaker can distinguish up to 10 different voices and assist in creating a live transcript of the meeting. The Office 365 cloud securely stores the transcripts of the meeting as text documents, which can be accessed later for reference.

TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker price in India

The TeamConnect Intelligent Speaker is priced at Rs 49,990 (~$656) in India. It is available for Microsoft certified conference rooms.
