Phoenix Audio Condor - USB Conference Beamforming Microphone Array - Up to 30ft 180º Coverage. Wall Mount, SIP, Analog, Huddle, AV Carts, Zoom Rooms

It looks nice (everyone thinks the blue lights look very modern!) but more importantly, it works great. It turns every inch of our 22 x 12 conference room into a giant speakerphone. You can stand in the far corner and talk very quietly, and the caller on the other end hears it clearly. No phones in the middle of the table... and no wires running to that phone. We use it for calls, phone conferences, google meets, and more. We just ordered another one for our secondary conference room.

Audio is weak, tinny, and sounds like you're talking to someone on an old cell phone. Pretty lame for a $1000 microphone. I tried setting it up for both a conference room that held about 10 people and also for our all-hands company meetings with 100+ people in the room. In both cases I had a really hard time hearing what people were saying and was not impressed with the audio quality.Here's how various conference room mics stack up in my book:-  Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 , 1 star. Decent video but the microphone is terrible. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone!-  Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker II , 2 stars. Great noise cancelling, but the audio is muffled and only good for 2-3 people in a room.-  Phoenix Condor Beamforming Array Microphone , 2 stars. Audio is weak, tinny, and sounds like you're talking to someone on an old cell phone. Pretty lame for a $1000+ microphone.-  Sound Tech CM-1000USB , 2 stars. Pretty crappy audio, wish I would have kept the box so I could return it. Lots of ambient noise pick up compared to the MXL.-  Jabra SPEAK 510 , 2.5 stars. At just $100, this has better audio quality than the $1100 Phoenix Condor. The problem is that it only has one microphone, so compared to the MXL it sounds quiet, muffled and generally pretty bad. Still better than a few of the others listed here.-  Blue Microphones Snowball , 2.5 stars. I'm not sure what all the hype is about. The MacBook Air's microphone was far better than the audio from this thing. Returned it.-  ClearOne Chat 170 , 4 stars. This has pretty decent audio but compared to the MXL it sounds muffled and it chops in and out. The advantage is that since it's also the speaker it has perfect feedback prevention, meaning the person speaking through the ClearOne doesn't hear their own voice feeding back to them at all. I'd recommend this for 4-5 people in a conference room.-  Blue Microphones Yeti USB , 4 stars. This is my second favorite compared to the MXL. Audio is pretty clear and it has decent range. The MXL still sounds better and has better full-room pick up though. This would be better for recording yourself for a podcast though.-  MXL AC-404 , 5 stars. The clarity sensitivity of this microphone is far better than most, and the best micrpohone I've tried so far. This is, so far, the winner for our company conference rooms that hold 8-10 people.-  MXL AC-360-Z , 5 stars. This is basically four AC-404's put together into a single nice looking package optimized for Zoom Rooms. If you're using Zoom Rooms and have a room where you need to pick up speakers from any direction this is a great microphone package!Let me know what you think. These were all compared by myself during company meetings. At each meeting I'd have someone at the office connect 2-3 microphones to our conference room PC and then switch between them during the meetings.

excellent microphone solution filters loud audio from ceiling speakers and only picks up voices from meetings.Also, filters out rumbling train noise during meetings

Plug and play! We bought the unit to be used in a large open space about 50 x 50 for all hands meeting for both on premise and remote staff using video conference to facilitate the call. The microphone sensitivity was amazing! The guest speakers who were the closest to the microphone was crisp and clear, but to our amazement the audience asking questions about 40ft from the mic bar was equally crisp and clear. In previous all hands on meeting a microphone would be passed around sometimes or other times it wasn’t, so audio was hit and miss. We love the microphone bar for the office and will pick up another one for our large board room, which is also equally acoustically challenge. Ceiling boom mics are no longer our only option.

Wanted to find a product that focused in eliminating/reducing reverb and this did just that. We have a small conference room with a lot of reverb. Prior to this product, we were using a wireless conference phone that only intensified the problem. Got in touch with with a sales rep who demoed the product the same day. Made the purchase soon after and never looked back. Purchased this along with the recommended Vizio soundbar. Setup was easy. We now use the microphone array + soundbar combo as our default sound output/microphone for our conference PC, conferencing app, and SIP dialer. Support was great as well - friendly, professional, patient.

This was just what we needed for a large conference room that we wanted to convert into a Zoom Room. Audio quality is impressive and picks up sound from the back of the room. Fits in perfectly with the look and feel of the room.Our only note is an option to disable the active LEDs. If you’re not having a meeting, sometimes it’s weird that the “Condor” is always listening.

Great microphone for our large conference room. Didn’t want to wire a bunch of microphones around the room for our zoom video conferencing. This fit the bill perfectly! Literally plug and play. Just mount it to the wall and run a usb to the computer. Done.

Good product, picks up voices in 13 x 25 conference room with no issues.
