Cisco Wired Boundary Microphone

Experience crystal-clear conference calls with the Cisco Wired Boundary Microphone, a premium audio solution designed to elevate your video conferencing experience. Engineered for reliability in meeting rooms, boardrooms, and compact huddle spaces, this boundary microphone captures every voice with remarkable accuracy while minimizing distracting room ambience. Its discreet, low-profile design blends seamlessly with any conference setup, and its wired connection ensures stable, latency-free audio transmission to Cisco endpoints and collaboration platforms. Whether you’re conducting a boardroom briefing, a remote pitch, or a team brainstorming session, this microphone helps you hear every idea—and be heard—clearly in every meeting room environment.

• Premium voice pickup in a compact boundary design: The microphone rests unobtrusively on the table, delivering broad but focused pickup to capture voices from all participants in the room. The boundary design helps minimize desk noise and vibrations, so conversations stay natural and intelligible even in busy environments. With a carefully engineered pickup pattern, this mic excels at conferences where multiple speakers participate, ensuring each voice is represented with clarity and natural tonal balance.
• Advanced acoustic features for crystal-clear sound: Built-in noise reduction, adaptive gain control, and echo cancellation work together to separate speech from ambient room sounds, HVAC noise, keyboard clicks, and shuffling papers. This layered approach to audio processing maintains consistent volume levels, reduces listener fatigue, and helps remote participants feel like they’re sitting in the same room as the speaker. The result is speech that’s easy to understand, whether participants are close to the microphone or speaking from across the table.
• Seamless integration with Cisco collaboration ecosystems: Optimized for Cisco Webex, Cisco Room systems, and other Cisco endpoints, this wired boundary microphone delivers plug-and-play setup with minimal configuration. It supports smooth integration into existing Cisco-based environments, enabling quick deployment in enterprise rooms and ensuring reliable compatibility with Cisco’s conferencing software. By aligning with Cisco’s ecosystem, it helps standardize audio across rooms and devices for consistent meeting experiences.
• Durable, discreet design with flexible mounting options: The microphone’s robust metal enclosure is built to withstand frequent use in busy offices and travel-friendly spaces. Its slim profile sits comfortably on tabletops and conference tables, while cable management is designed to keep power and audio cords neatly organized. The included stand and mounting options make it easy to place the microphone where it performs best, whether you’re in a formal boardroom or a casual huddle area.
• Versatile deployment for small to mid-size rooms: Whether you’re outfitting a compact meeting room or upgrading multiple spaces in an enterprise, this wired boundary microphone delivers dependable performance in a variety of environments. It’s suitable for multitier discussions, presentations, and collaborative sessions, and its wired connection helps ensure consistent latency and audio fidelity during critical calls.

how to install Cisco Wired Boundary Microphone

Install this boundary microphone quickly in a few straightforward steps to start enjoying clearer room audio in your Cisco-enabled environment:

• Select a central location on the conference table where participants are most likely to speak. This positioning helps maximize voice pickup while minimizing noise from the surroundings.
• Connect the microphone to your Cisco endpoint or conferencing system using the wired interface provided. Ensure all cables are routed away from foot traffic and pinch points to prevent accidental disconnections.
• Power up the conferencing system and verify that the microphone is recognized as an input device. If your setup requires manual selection, choose the Cisco boundary microphone from the audio input menu within the endpoint or Webex/Room system settings.
• Test the audio by prompting participants to speak at normal voice levels from their typical seating positions. Adjust sensitivity, gain, or volume as needed to achieve balanced levels across the room.
• Perform a quick room test, including a noise-check pass (simulated ambient noise, keyboard taps, and distant conversations). Make any minor adjustments to noise suppression or echo cancellation in the endpoint’s audio controls to optimize clarity for your specific room acoustics.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is a boundary microphone?
A: A boundary microphone sits flat on a surface and uses boundary effects to capture voices from across a room with a wide, natural pickup pattern while helping reduce desk noise and vibrations. It’s ideal for conference rooms, boardrooms, and shared workspaces where clear speech is essential.

Q: Is the Cisco Wired Boundary Microphone compatible with Cisco Webex?
A: Yes. This microphone is designed to integrate with Cisco collaboration ecosystems, including Webex and Cisco Room systems, providing reliable wired audio input for video conferences and hybrid meetings.

Q: Can I install this microphone in an under-table setup?
A: The microphone is designed for tabletop use and supported mounting options. Depending on your configuration, optional accessories or compatible mounting kits may enable under-table or alternative placements while preserving optimal pickup.

Q: Does it support noise suppression and echo cancellation?
A: Yes. The microphone includes built-in acoustic processing such as noise reduction and echo cancellation to improve speech clarity and reduce disruptive ambient sounds during calls.

Q: How do I ensure optimal performance in a large conference room?
A: Position the microphone near the center of the seating area, keep the table surface free of excessive clutter, and pair it with a properly tuned conferencing system. For larger rooms, consider using multiple microphones or additional boundary devices to maintain even coverage and prevent voice drop-offs.
