Cisco Room Kit EQX CS-KIT-EQX-NR-K9-- – No-Radio First Light Model

Product Overview

Flagship rooms inside secure buildings need the same experience as commercial ones without the radio, and CS-KIT-EQX-NR-K9-- is the Cisco Room Kit EQX built that way: First Light finish, customized model, with no Wi-Fi fitted. The integrated assembly is otherwise complete, carrying a Cisco Codec EQ, an integrated Quad Camera, the Natural Audio Module IV amplifier, six coaxial loudspeakers and a folded bass horn rated to 105 dB SPL across 45 Hz to 20 kHz. Displays are not included; the main module takes two screens from 65 in. to 75 in. with a third extra screen supported. Room Kit EQX is a current Cisco product.

Product Description

The non-radio build changes the sharing design rather than the room experience. Cisco lists Miracast as unavailable on the non-radio version and states that Bluetooth discovery for Apple AirPlay is not available on it either, so content paths should be planned around the three HDMI 1.4b inputs at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps, the USB-C input at up to 4K30 with 15W charging, and USB-C passthrough that hands a laptop the room camera, microphones and speakers on one cable.

Everything that makes the system immersive is unaffected. Six coaxial loudspeakers and a compact folded bass horn, driven by the 16-channel Natural Audio Module IV with Euroblock outputs rated at a maximum 25W into 8 ohm per channel at 0.1% THD and 200W total, deliver directional audio that follows where the active remote speaker appears on screen. The integrated camera runs four CMOS sensors of up to 20 MP per lens with machine-intelligent switching, producing a single 1080p output at up to 60 fps with an 83-degree wide field of view and three 50-degree tele-lenses.

Screen selection is the same across every EQX version and should be settled before the mounting is chosen. Two screens from 65 in. to 75 in. mount on 2 x VESA with 400 vertical and 400-600 horizontal adjustment, at up to 50 kg per screen on the wall-mount and wall-stand versions or 42 kg on the floor stand, with a maximum thickness of 75 mm, each on its own power outlet, and a recommended minimum resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 60 fps.

The system ships as an integrated video conferencing system including the Cisco Codec EQ, the integrated Cisco Quad Camera, the Cisco Natural Audio Module IV amplifier, six loudspeakers, one bass unit, a Cisco Room Navigator (Table Stand, First Light), the mounting unit, power adapters, a 12 m Ethernet cable for the Room Navigator and the internal cabling between the default components. Voice pickup uses up to eight Cisco IP microphone units or third-party AES67 microphones over the PoE++ ports, with more than three IP microphones requiring the AV Integrator license, so size microphone coverage for the table. Cisco publishes 150.9W in call and 61.5W standby, requires RoomOS 11.9.2 or later, and lists registration to Webex, Cisco Unified CM 12.5 or later with the Room Kit EQ/EQX device pack, Cisco Expressway and Microsoft Teams Rooms. Cisco describes the system as designed for medium-to-large meeting rooms and collaboration spaces and publishes no seat count, so capacity should be judged from sightlines and microphone coverage.

Key Features

• No Wi-Fi radio fitted — Cisco states Wi-Fi is not available in non-radio versions, and lists Miracast and Bluetooth discovery for AirPlay as unavailable on the non-radio version, so the room carries no unmanaged wireless emitter.
• Integrated dual-screen assembly — Codec, camera, amplifier, six loudspeakers and a bass unit arrive as one factory-assembled module with internal cabling, shortening the on-site build in a controlled space.
• Spatial audio that follows the speaker on screen — Six coaxial speakers plus a folded bass horn deliver directional audio reaching 105 dB SPL with a 45 Hz to 20 kHz response.
• Natural Audio Module IV as an audio platform — The 16-channel amplifier exposes four analog Euroblock line inputs at up to 24 dBu and speaker outputs rated 25W into 8 ohm per channel at 0.1% THD, with 200W total output.
• Wired content paths — Three HDMI 1.4b inputs at up to 4K30, a USB-C input at up to 4K30 with 15W charging and USB-C passthrough cover presentation without the wireless layer a non-radio system omits.
• Defined screen envelope — Cisco publishes screens of 65 in. to 75 in. on the main module, VESA 400 vertical with 400-600 horizontal adjustment, up to 50 kg per screen wall-mounted or 42 kg on the floor stand, and 75 mm maximum thickness.
• Customized-model ordering — The -- designation marks a customized model, which keeps a secure multi-site rollout on one agreed configuration.
• Office hours power scheduling — Published consumption of 150.9W in call, 68.8W idle and 61.5W standby can be reduced with office-hours mode, which forces standby outside working hours.

Typical Applications

• Government space — an immersive room system with no wireless radio meets facility rules barring unmanaged RF emitters.
• Boardroom — a factory-assembled dual-screen system with directional audio suits a secure executive space.
• Large conference room — six loudspeakers and a bass unit at up to 105 dB SPL cover a substantial briefing room.
• All-hands room — directional audio that follows the active speaker on screen suits large presentation spaces.
• Multi-purpose room — a third HDMI output supports a divisible-room or overflow feed alongside the two main screens.

Cisco publishes wall mount at 1230 x 2800 x 138 mm and 120 kg, wall stand at 1890 x 2800 x 152 mm and 135 kg, and floor stand at 1910 x 2800 x 924 mm and 172 kg, all without screens.

How is far-end audio picked up?

Up to eight Cisco IP microphone units or third-party digital microphones over AES67, with more than three IP microphones requiring the Room Kit EQ AV Integrator license. Three analog mini-jack inputs and a USB-A input for a DSP are also available.
