It pairs one DM-NAX-AP-100 audio processor, one active Saros PoE ceiling speaker driving one passive Saros ceiling speaker, and one Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium microphone into a validated PoE audio system that any AV integrator can deploy without custom DSP programming. It sits between the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/crestron-collab-dm-nax-intelligent-audio-certified-system-small-room-ceiling-system\"\u003eSmall Room\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/crestron-collab-dm-nax-intelligent-audio-certified-system-large-room-ceiling-system\"\u003eLarge Room\u003c\/a\u003e configurations in Crestron's certified system lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Crestron DM NAX Intelligent Audio Certified System — Medium Room work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery device connects over standard Power over Ethernet and auto-discovers on the network the moment it's plugged in, eliminating the custom wiring and DSP commissioning that ceiling audio installs typically require. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/crestron-dm-nax-ap-100\"\u003eDM-NAX-AP-100 audio processor\u003c\/a\u003e bridges the ceiling microphone and speakers to any UC codec over USB-C, while dual Gigabit Ethernet ports handle network audio distribution, and onboard DSP automatically manages echo cancellation and noise reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat separates this configuration from the Small Room system is the addition of a passive Saros speaker.

That's how the system extends even audio coverage across a larger floor plan than a small huddle room without adding another PoE-powered, network-addressed device. Overhead, the Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium microphone uses automatic beam steering to track the active speaker anywhere in the room, feeding clean audio into the DM NAX network over AES67 and staying compatible with AI meeting assistants such as Microsoft 365 Copilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the Crestron DM NAX Intelligent Audio Certified System — Medium Room?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive\/passive speaker pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e — one amplified Saros speaker drives a passive satellite, extending coverage without a second amplified device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE-powered, zero-wiring deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e — every powered device runs on standard PoE, with no dedicated audio wiring or amplifier rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic device discovery\u003c\/strong\u003e — the processor, speakers, and microphone find each other on the network without manual addressing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified for Microsoft Teams\u003c\/strong\u003e — validated end-to-end for functionality, integration, and performance with Teams Rooms deployments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAES67-compatible audio-over-IP\u003c\/strong\u003e — built on an open standard for future peripheral flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic beam-steering microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Sennheiser TCC M array tracks the active speaker without manual mic placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard DSP echo and noise cancellation\u003c\/strong\u003e — no external DSP rack unit needed for clean call audio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Crestron DM NAX Intelligent Audio Certified System — Medium Room typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard conference rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"table-layout:fixed;min-width:300px;width:100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:45%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:55%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Processor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDM-NAX-AP-100 — USB-C to UC codec, dual Gigabit Ethernet, onboard DSP, PoE+ (12.95W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Ceiling Speaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaros DM-NAX-IC4A-W — 4 in. active full-range driver, onboard amplifier, PoE+ (25.5W), drives up to 3 passives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Ceiling Speaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaros IC4P-W — 4 in. passive full-range driver, powered directly from the active Saros unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeiling Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium — automatic beam steering, PoE+ powered, flush ceiling-tile mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Network\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDM NAX audio-over-IP, AES67-compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertified for use with Microsoft Teams software\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the Small Room system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis configuration adds one passive Saros ceiling speaker, driven directly off the active Saros unit, to extend even audio coverage across a larger room than the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/crestron-collab-dm-nax-intelligent-audio-certified-system-small-room-ceiling-system\"\u003eSmall Room system\u003c\/a\u003e is sized for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate amplifier for the passive speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The active Saros DM-NAX-IC4A-W has an onboard amplifier rated to drive up to three passive Saros speakers directly — this configuration uses one of those three channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat UC platforms is this certified for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis configuration is certified for use with Microsoft Teams software.
