In today’s quest for high-impact work and learning environments, mid-sized spaces often present a unique challenge. They can either become dynamic hubs of activity or remain underutilised and overlooked. This raises a critical question for organisations: How do you optimise these spaces to ensure they reach their full potential?
 
The key lies in equipping them with the right tools to enhance flexibility and usability, transforming spaces into high-impact environments that seamlessly scale and provide intuitive, engaging experiences for both in-room and hybrid participants.
 
High-impact spaces are where Q-SYS excels. Now, with the Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling Medium (TCC M) plugin—available alongside TCC 2, EW-DX, and MobileConnect in Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager—delivering superior audio and transforming underutilised spaces into dynamic, high-impact settings has never been easier.

 

 

The Underutilisation of Mid-Sized Spaces:
 
Despite their potential, mid-sized spaces are often overlooked — too small for all-hands gatherings and too large or poorly equipped for focused hybrid work. This ambiguity in purpose leads to wasted resources and suboptimal environments for both in-room and remote participants. 
 
Common issues like inadequate audio coverage, complicated setup changes, and challenges in engaging remote participants all contribute to a lack of flexibility. However, these challenges can be effectively addressed by equipping mid-sized spaces with solutions that offer both flexibility and superior performance.

 

 

 

Transforming mid-sized meeting spaces into high-impact environments requires tools that deliver superior performance with minimal complexity. The collaboration between Sennheiser and Q-SYS is a prime example. The TCC M seamlessly integrates with Q-SYS, a powerful audio, video, and control platform,  enabling dynamic, high-impact spaces while simplifying the integration process.
 
Available in Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager, the TCC M plugin makes integration into the Q-SYS environment straightforward and efficient. It supports LED control, audio levels, output gain, mute control, Sennheiser TruVoicelift, and speaker position management directly within the Q-SYS control system. The Q-SYS no-code design process further simplifies the implementation of complex control schemes, eliminating the need for extensive programming knowledge. This empowers users to adapt mid-sized spaces more effectively, making them accessible and scalable for the evolving demands of any organisation.
 

• Enhanced Flexibility: With the ability to adapt to different room layouts and use cases effortlessly, these spaces become versatile hubs that can support everything from small team meetings to hybrid conferences.
  
  
• Superior Audio Quality: The TCC M ensures that every participant’s voice is captured with clarity, eliminating the need for additional reinforcement and ensuring that all participants are heard equally, whether in-room or remote.
  
  
• Seamless Video Integration: Voice-driven camera tracking through Q-SYS ACPR ensures that the active speaker is always in view, creating a more engaging experience for remote participants and enhancing the overall effectiveness of hybrid meetings.
  
  
• Efficient Setup and Control: The no-code integration with Q-SYS simplifies the setup process, reducing the time and resources needed to implement advanced AV solutions in mid-sized spaces.

 

 

These results optimise the use of mid-sized spaces and elevate them to play a crucial role in fostering collaboration, productivity, and engagement across your organisation.

Enhancing Mid-Sized Spaces with Sennheiser’s TCC M
 
The Sennheiser TCC M microphone is designed to bring versatility and adaptability to mid-sized meeting spaces and learning environments. Leveraging Sennheiser’s Trusted Audio Quality and dynamic beamforming technology, the TCC M ensures crystal-clear audio pickup in every meeting, regardless of the room’s configuration. This makes it ideal for spaces that require flexible layouts, allowing for dynamic furniture arrangements without compromising sound quality.
 
Additionally, the TCC M features TruVoicelift, which naturally amplifies speech within the room, ensuring every voice is heard clearly without the need for handheld microphones or other reinforcement techniques. This intelligent technology allows speakers to move freely and speak effortlessly, bridging sound level loss over distance so that even those seated farthest from the speaker experience perfect speech intelligibility.
 
The Sennheiser TCC M also enables voice-driven camera tracking in mid-sized spaces with Q-SYS. Utilising audio data from the TCC M, Q-SYS Automatic Camera Preset Recall (ACPR) automatically adjusts camera views based on the speaker’s location, ensuring the active speaker is always visible to remote participants. This seamless integration enhances hybrid collaboration, delivering dynamic and professional-grade video experiences without the need for manual camera control.

 

 

Real-World Applications: How Sennheiser and Q-SYS are Transforming Mid-Sized Spaces
 
Organisations and educational institutions are leveraging the integration of the Sennheiser TCC M with Q-SYS to turn underutilised mid-sized spaces into high-impact environments that drive collaboration and engagement.

• University Tutorial Rooms: Flexible room configurations are critical in educational settings. Universities are using the TCC M and Q-SYS partnership to effortlessly reconfigure tutorial spaces, accommodating different class sizes and formats while ensuring clear communication and seamless video engagement for both in-room and remote students.
  
  

• Corporate Meeting Spaces: Modern workplaces require rooms that can adapt quickly to various meeting types. Companies are employing the TCC M to support flexible furniture layouts and facilitate smooth transitions from small group collaborations to larger, hybrid meetings. This flexibility, combined with superior audio quality, automatic camera tracking, and a straightforward user experience provided by Q-SYS control, ensures that meetings run efficiently without the constant need for IT support.
