Sennheiser TeamConnect SL Ceiling 2 Microphone Array (White) - 507488

Product Overview

The Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC2) is a professional ceiling microphone array for conference rooms designed to deliver consistent, high-intelligibility audio in boardrooms and large meeting spaces. Its patented adaptive beamforming technology automatically tracks the active speaker anywhere in the room, eliminating the need for tabletop microphones or manual adjustments. The TCC2 White (RAL 9010) integrates discreetly into light-colored ceiling finishes, making it ideal for executive boardrooms where aesthetics and performance are equally important. As a Microsoft Teams certified ceiling mic and a verified solution for Zoom and Cisco WebEx, it is a proven choice for organizations standardizing on leading UC platforms.

Product Description

The Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 houses 28 Sennheiser KE10 pre-polarized condenser capsules arranged in a circular array. These capsules feed Sennheiser's patented Dynamic Beamforming engine, which continuously steers multiple simultaneous beams toward active speakers — even in rooms with reverb, background HVAC noise, or multiple participants speaking in sequence. Coverage extends up to 75 m² (approximately 807 sq ft), accommodating medium to large conference rooms with a single unit.

Connectivity is handled through a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable that carries PoE+ power, Dante digital audio, and control data simultaneously. This single-cable architecture simplifies installation significantly compared to traditional analog ceiling microphone systems. The unit provides both analog output (3-pin Phoenix terminal) and dual Dante Network Audio outputs via RJ45, supporting AES67-compliant audio-over-IP environments. The Dante output connects directly to compatible DSP processors, amplifiers, or codecs without additional analog infrastructure.

Commissioning is handled through the Sennheiser Smart Assist app, which guides installers through coverage zone setup, sensitivity adjustments, and beam exclusion zones. Remote monitoring and control are available via Sennheiser Control Cockpit software and an open API, supporting integration with room control systems and camera tracking applications.

This listing is for the white (RAL 9010) finish, SKU 507488. The white housing blends naturally into standard suspended ceiling tiles and painted concrete ceilings.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 compatible with Microsoft Teams and Zoom?

Yes. The TCC2 is certified for Microsoft Teams and verified compatible with Zoom, Cisco WebEx, and other major UC platforms. It works with any conferencing system that accepts Dante network audio or analog input.

Q: What network infrastructure is required for installation?

The TCC2 requires a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable run from a PoE+ capable switch (IEEE 802.3af Class 3, 44–57V DC). No separate power supply is needed. For Dante audio routing, a dedicated or VLAN-segmented network is recommended.

Q: How large a room can a single TCC2 cover?

A single unit covers up to 75 m² (approximately 807 sq ft). For larger rooms or unusual shapes, multiple units can be networked together via Dante.

Q: What is the difference between the white and black versions?

The hardware and performance specifications are identical. The white version (SKU 507488, RAL 9010) suits standard white ceilings; the black version (SKU 509161) is designed for dark or black ceiling environments such as auditoriums or modern boardrooms with dark ceiling treatments.

Q: Does the TCC2 require a DSP processor?

The TCC2 performs its own onboard beamforming and signal processing. It connects directly to a conferencing codec, DSP, or Dante-enabled device. A separate DSP is not required for basic operation, though integration with a room DSP is common in larger AV systems.

Q: How is the unit commissioned and configured?

Initial setup uses the Sennheiser Smart Assist app (iOS/Android) via Bluetooth. Ongoing remote management is handled through Sennheiser Control Cockpit software. An open API allows integration with third-party room control and camera tracking systems.

Q: What mounting options are available for this SKU?

SKU 507488 supports surface mount and suspension kit installation. For flush mounting into a standard 2.05 ft (625 mm) ceiling grid, the extension bracket kit (SKU 507478) is available as a separate bundle — see the TeamConnect SL Ceiling 2 with Extension Brackets listing.

Q: What warranty does the TCC2 carry?

Sennheiser provides a 5-year manufacturer warranty on the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 for commercial installations.
