Surface Hub acoustics and satellite microphone options
Sennheiser has the TeamConnect Wireless - 2 or 4 wireless satellites where the Surface Hub connects via either BlueTooth or USB to the master satellite. The master satellite wirelessly transmits audio to/from the other satellites. Please note that each wireless satellite has both microphones and an individually controlled speaker and could be used for up to 24 participants. We've got a number of universities in California currrently using TeamConnect Wireless with 70" Surface Hubs this way.
The TeamConnect Wireless also has built-in Echo Cancellation too.

There are no 70 inch Surface Hubs, is it the larger or smaller device?- Om JoshiAug 23, 2017Brass ContributorSorry did I mention 70". My bad.
I have 84" and 55" both in two meeting rooms. I think only these 2 models are available .

Hi David,
I've tried the team connect wireless units with our surface hubs but one major issue is the ability to connect the master unit after pairing if you're not an administrator of the surface hub. Just turning on bluetooth on the TC device is not sufficient enough, you need to go into the admin settings of the Hub and connect the device.
Not very user friendly or easy for some of the more difficult users. Also found the microphones can lag a little at the beginning.
If anyone else has any other systems that they've used to extend or improve the Mic / Speaker setup for a slightly larger room I'd love to hear from them.
Cheers.

That may be the way it works with BT, but I'm finding that Surface Hub makes other audio devices default if they're connected via USB.
