Crestron UC-AUDIO-1-B-DR1 KIT Crestron Flex Pod Wireless Audio Kit with Hub and Pod (Black)

Product Overview

The Crestron UC-AUDIO-1-B-DR1 KIT is a Crestron Flex wireless audio kit that pairs a UC-AUDIO-HUB with a single UC-AUDIO-POD to deliver full-duplex conferencing audio in medium and large meeting rooms. Built for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms deployments, this Crestron Flex wireless conference audio kit removes cabling from the table while providing 360-degree microphone pickup and clear, omnidirectional sound. The wireless audio pod connects to the hub over DECT, and the hub feeds the room's UC Engine through a single USB-C connection. It is an effective way to add table-free conferencing audio to integrated AV rooms.

Product Description

The kit consists of a UC-AUDIO-HUB wireless transceiver and auto mixer paired with one UC-AUDIO-POD wireless audio pod. The hub mounts out of sight and connects to a UC Engine over USB-C, while the pod sits on the conference table without any cabling. Each pod contains a 360-degree quad microphone array with an approximate 7.5 ft (2.3 m) pickup range and a full-range 2 in. speaker, supporting IEEE 1329 Type 1 full-duplex acoustic echo cancellation, automatic gain control, and dynamic noise suppression.

DECT wireless technology ensures only paired pods transmit audio to the intended hub, operating without interference to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth networks. A single hub supports up to four pods, allowing integrators to scale microphone coverage across larger conference rooms and multi-purpose meeting spaces. The DR1 designation in this kit indicates a one-pod configuration that can be expanded with additional UC-AUDIO-POD units as room size requires.

Key Features

• Wireless Table Pod — The UC-AUDIO-POD sits on the conference table with no cabling, keeping the work surface clean and simplifying room turnover.
• 360-Degree Microphone Array — A quad mic array captures voices from all directions with an approximate 7.5 ft (2.3 m) pickup range per pod.
• Full-Duplex Echo Cancellation — IEEE 1329 Type 1 compliant acoustic echo cancellation, automatic gain control, and dynamic noise suppression deliver natural two-way conversation.
• DECT Wireless Security — DECT technology ensures only paired pods transmit audio to the intended hub and does not interfere with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
• USB-C Hub Connection — The UC-AUDIO-HUB sends and receives audio to the UC Engine through a single USB-C connection for straightforward integration.
• Scalable to Four Pods — A single hub supports up to four pods, letting integrators expand microphone coverage as room size grows.
• Indoor Wireless Range — The pod operates at a range of up to 50 ft (approximately 15 m) indoors from the hub.
• Built-In Pod Speaker — Each pod includes a full-range 2 in. speaker with a 100 Hz to 7 kHz frequency response for clear in-room audio.

Typical Applications

• Medium and large conference rooms running Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms
• Multi-purpose meeting spaces and training rooms requiring table-free audio
• Executive boardrooms where cable-free conference tables are preferred
• Huddle-to-large room standardization within enterprise UC deployments

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many pods does this kit include?
The UC-AUDIO-1-B-DR1 KIT includes one UC-AUDIO-HUB and one UC-AUDIO-POD. The hub supports up to four pods total, so additional UC-AUDIO-POD units can be added for larger rooms.

Q: What does the hub connect to?
The UC-AUDIO-HUB connects to a UC Engine through a single USB-C connection, making it suitable for Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms systems.

Q: Will the DECT wireless interfere with our Wi-Fi network?
No. DECT operates independently of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and uses multiple levels of security so that only paired pods transmit audio to the intended hub.

Q: What is the microphone pickup range per pod?
Each pod provides a 360-degree pickup of approximately 7.5 ft (2.3 m). Deploying multiple pods extends coverage across larger conference tables.

Q: What warranty applies?
This kit carries the Crestron standard 3-year limited warranty. For specification verification or AV integration guidance, Contact Creation Networks.
