Neat Bar Pro pairs with Shure Microflex

Neat has partnered with Shure to improve audio-visual user experiences by enabling the seamless integration between the Neat Bar Pro and various Shure Microflex Ecosystem solutions.

By combining the video technology from the Neat Bar Pro with the audio capabilities of Shure’s Microflex Ecosystem, Neat believes users can gain the “optimum combination”.

Furthermore, the union of technologies can provide and engaging and equitable meeting experience for all meeting spaces, however complex they may be, ensuring can take part in the conversation.

Peter James, VP of Global Business Development at Shure, pointed to some of the benefits that the technological partnership can deliver:

“Our integrated solutions can now easily be installed where customers want a front-of-room, all-in-one device and extraordinary audio coverage throughout their space.

“We are thrilled to provide a first-of-its-kind combination for large conferencing environments that will provide better experiences and more reliable collaboration.”

‘Cutting-Edge Collaboration’

The video device designer, Neat, explains why this is such a powerful technology collaboration in a recent article by its Senior Director of Global Alliances, Sherri Pipala.

According to Pipala, the Neat Bar Pro includes the “most advanced” audio and video technology, including auto-framing, zoom, and speaker tracking no matter where they are situated in a room.

In fact, the Neat Symmetry feature can not only track who is talking but the gestures and expressions of other meeting participants at the same time.

Adding to this, a range of Shure Microflex solutions will enable the Neat Bar Pro to be deployed in more complex spaces, while delivering “crystal clear” audio for varying speaker configurations, helping to streamline audio-visual set ups.

Shure solutions can be connected to the Neat Bar Pro through a single USB-C port, reducing excess cables.

The Shure Microsoflex Advance MXA902 Integrated Conferencing Ceiling Array and the Shure ANIUSB-MATRIX USB Audio Network interface are recommended as integration options for large boardrooms or where it is critical that one or more speakers can be seen and heard.

The Microflex Advance MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphone, and IntelliMix P300 Audio Conferencing Processor and MXN5W-C Networked Loudspeaker would be well suited for all -hands training rooms and divisible spaces.

The Neat Bar Pro, which has previously been reviewed by the UC Today Team, was launched in October 2020 and gained Teams certification in March 2022, adding to the interoperability it already had with Zoom.

Now, all these combination options have been certified for Zoom Rooms.

John Stearns, Global Head of Zoom Spaces at Zoom, believes this partnership represents real value for its customers: “Zoom customers are looking for exceptional video and audio experiences in all kinds of meeting spaces, which is why we’re excited about this partnership between Neat and Shure.

“Together, they provide a simple, easy-to-use solution that extends to the most challenging large spaces.”

Earlier this month, Neat unveiled the Neat Bar Generation 2, the latest iteration of its  all-in-one AV bar designed for premium meeting experiences.

UC Today’s George Malim recently uncovered the various benefits of the Shure Microflex Ecosystem that could make it the ideal collaboration reinforcement for every meeting space.
